The Monday That Was, was very long and rather mundane. Thanks to Rain, more Rain and the Indoor Activities... knitting, doing jigsaws, reading, play with the playdough, more reading, snoozing with the cat, walking in the rain... splashing in puddles... we LOVE puddles!
We have been out and about trying to find somewhere to be, but lots of places are still closed in this part of town. I simply dont have the petrol to go further, so we will wait. The Library and The Warehouse were the main attractions, both have big wide tape over their doors. I hope all is back to normal soon, those poor people who are employed by them who have to pick up and clean up AGAIN. Its got to be very mundane, rather taxing when you just get it done, then bang.. bompf. Gotta do it again. A bit like the householders and the cleaning up of liquefaction... its a constant thing.
Miss B from down the road, has flown the coop. Shes off for a holiday in Europe, lucky lady! I hope she has plenty of time for relaxing, she has family all over and has decided its time to go and visit. Escaping the A/shocks AND the Winter, clever lady!!! We miss her winning smile and her dry wit.
However, Im happy !!! to report, there has been NO Mother Earth Activity since 12pm today. Which is odd, because Id have thought we might have had a bit of a shake, but no... and Im not complaining...
This is good things.
I have plans, and I hear the weather will be better later in the week. Ive found some pea straw, and Im going to get some on Friday. Im looking forward to extending the garden a little, and finding something awesome to start growing in my pots on my windowsill so Arlais and I can watch them grow.
Maybe an Apidistra ... Ok Now Ive got to find the lyrics... Gracie Fields? Yeah I think it mightve been...
Here We Go!!! All together now... The Biggest Aspidistra In the World... Gracie Fields.
For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot
On the whatnot, near the 'atstand in the 'all
It didn't seem to grow 'til one day our brother Joe
Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall
So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree
And he's planted it against the garden wall
It shot up like a rocket, 'til it's nearly reached the sky
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world
We couldn't see the top of it, it got so bloomin' high
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world
When father's had a snoot full at his pub, 'The Bunch of Grapes'
He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes
No, you'll find him in his bear-skin playing Tarzan of the apes
Off the biggest aspidistra in the world
We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade
So they put the water rates up half a crown
The roots stuff up the drains, grow along the country lanes
And they came up half a mile outside the town
Once we hired an auditorium for a hot house
But a jealous rival went and burnt it down
The tom cats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out
Up the biggest aspidistra in the world
They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout
From the biggest aspidistra in the world
The dogs all come around for miles, a lovely sight to see
They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee
So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world
So there ya go... Something to remember me by ;)
Now Ive got that tune stuck in my head.
Talk to Ya Soon!
Love to all,
EBUTTERFLY
