I really want an end date for this lockdown because I'm ready for this wedding now
And I need to *do* something. Adventure and mental stimulation needed.

None of your fancy stuff Seph, just industrial Italian Illy that I stockpiled back in March:

Fantastic containers.

What do you do with yours when empty ?

Table-side listening to Bookends ( S & G 2nd half of the '60s )

Lyrics of title track for the LP


Old friends, old friends,
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today,
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years,
Silently sharing the same fears




Another track on same

Punky's Dilemma

Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies,
Relaxin' awhile, livin' in style,
Talkin' to a raisin who 'caisson'ly plays L.A.,
Casually glancing at his toupee.
Wish I was an English muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster.
I'd ease myself down,
Comin' up brown.
I prefer boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam.
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan.
Ah, South California.
If I become a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
To Maryjane
Best wishes, Martin.
(Old Roger draft-dodger
Leavin' by the basement door),
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

Widdershins

I've 3 of the Illy tins, teabags, sugar and currants.

Jaysus when does motherhood responsibility end?

Couchside, just set up new laptop by installing Ubuntu on it and setting other things up how I want them. It actually arrived on Friday but didn't get time because my kids are pretty much attached to me when they're here!

Wait , it's meant to end ??
No one ever told me that :pac:

Watching the birds flying in and out to their nests , gorgeous evening here .

Poochie05

On the couch in the evening sun. That weekend flew.
Sounds ungrateful given the current circumstances but don’t want to work tomorrow
But things to look forward to tonight, Chicken curry for dinner and the final episode of The Nest
Have a good evening folks.

Just back from a long walk,its mainly shaded so really warm but when you get out into the breeze its chilly, did I mention I f*ing hate the breeze ðŸ™

Went to the folks earlier with grub and was sent for the messages,I was given a list on the tiniest piece of paper that was torn off an old envelope, honestly it was the size of a stamp and I had to add more onto the list before I was released, then I had to pay for some with cash for my dad and a card for mothers,she then rang just as I left the shop as she wanted cash back but when I said I'd go to the ATM she said it was grand ....she just didn't want to give her PIN num to me,honestly if you didn't laugh you'd cry with the 2 of them, so set in their ways lol.

A touch of the Glenroes hitting now bit I'm not going to give in to them,I'm going to have some wine shortly and more chocolate just in case I get withdrawals after the last fee days,you cant be too careful. 😉

Chocolate withdrawals are not the worst. A few years ago I was drinking a lot of Lucozade. Started off with a small bottle a day, escalated over a few months to three large bottles a day. One day I decided it was not healthy and stopped. After 2 days I had shakes, confusion, fatigue, agitation. Lasted for 5 days.
I am not joking. It was unbelievable.

Couchside watching The Simpsons. Decided to start watching it from the beginning (bear in mind there’s 30 seasons), so it’ll keep me occupied for the foreseeable future

Aren't they? There's something very satisfying about them... that's good design I guess.
I have one for Illy espresso refills from the vacuum packs, one for French Press grind and one for decaf/random backup coffee. And any others my sister nabs and uses for her paintbrushes and art/craft stuff.

Reminds me of these tins holding random bits and pieces, I love them, they're so old-timey!


Couchside, wondering if I should go for a run.

I keep crochet hooks, pens etc in a Halloween version of the treacle tins.
I've seen them with the spiky mouth punched out and a tea light in them, so the light shines through the mouth. Love decorative tins. https://ibb.co/rdbz7k2
