don’t give up yet SP !!
Just reflecting. x
To be honest Gummy, the only time I’m truly focused on anything is when I’m working at the bench. I’m bored silly this Winter, even with the heat on in the shed it’s still too cold to concentrate fully, the sooner the better it gets a bit warmer, as Trump said during the recent ice spell in Chicago “Global warming, bring it on”
A very happy new year to all Chinese everywhere.
Seeing it’s the year of the Pig spare a thought for these doomed creatures.
Smart Pigs.
“It was believed that pigs could see the wind rising, and if they gathered straws in their mouths, a big storm was coming. … Pigs are supposed to be scared of mirrors. Scientists have found that pigs do recognise themselves in mirrors, one of the few animals intelligent enough to do so” Wiki.Apr 17, 2016.
I would imagine if a pessimistic Pig looked in the mirror it would see a ham sandwich looking back, no wonder Pigs look so depressed all the time.
and do ya know why they are always walkin along with their heads bent low?
They are looking for Nigel Forage.
no - they know they are for the chop!
They things I learn here.
Pigs really?
Oh well I rather like bacon.

I thought that was a beacon?
Good Night Possums. X

Dead in here,tonight…all in bed with a mug of hot chocolate & your book?
I’m in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and her book!!
I have found my old book of quotes.
I will have some fun with them soon.
I do love my old books.
There was a fella on the panel of judges on TV last night, the program is called “Dancing with the Stars” and it’s similar to “Come Dancing”.
Now normally I’d give this type of program a wide berth but the wife watches it and I’m too lazy to shift off the armchair by the fire to go into another room to watch something else so I suffered it out.
Anyway this chap in his 40’s was dressed in a big red blouse thing with a huge red flower standing up a good 10 inches on his left shoulder, like an overfed pet Parrot on his shoulder. The commentator asked him why was he waring such an unusual costume. This is what he said.
“It’s Valentines, and I’m a rose in bloom”
Some bloody rose, he ought to have more sense, what is the world coming to I ask you!, a rose in bloom how are yeh.
Here he is on the right in another costume, he seems to have an urge to wear something on his left shoulder, but far be it for me to judge anyone, there are those who would say he’s just being flamboyant, and there are others who would say he’s just being a gobshite, take your pick.

That reminds me Gummy, what are you dressing up as for Valentines, a wallflower perhaps? I’ll have a look in the potting shed and see if I can find something suitable for myself, Phyllis says I’d make a lovely Lily in bloom.
bloody cheek - my favorite - an Aspidistra - in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia, …
Horticultural stuff.
