End of month thoughts

It's been a warm week with quite a bit of sun out which has meant the layers have been well off and windows opened for longer than the hour or so it takes to clear stale air from the room as it hides in corners.

In lots of ways it is great to feel fresh air around you, you do feel more alive, able to do more as much as hay fever does trouble me at this time of year and I love to see the cherry blossoms out plus the daisies in the garden.

Unlike some we've not replaced with concrete or dead to wildlife artificial grass so actually we had Cabbage Butterflies out yesterday which is a bit earlier than usual and some bees thankfully away from the washing line.

So much so really the perils of social media - the one who managed to make the first "Ignore" list did it big style - with unrelated and irrelevant aggressive rants with cuss words might as well navigated by just keeping away from those types.

Me-ow.

Outdoors away from screens is better.

Putting You and Us together.

Against the odds we did actually make a post last week although it took a while to rest the fingers as I was having involuntary shaking which cut into sleep a bit but the main thing I wished to talk about was about just standing away from anyone else and being you.


Everybody last week was different, they have different lives, they present differently with a refreshing lack of an attempt to push any one form associated with any sub genre just getting on with getting on focused on what we all loved and had come for.

Party.


The Banner was Easter and the Easter Bunny, how you see yourself and any terms took a definite back seat  - even managing to avoid too much of a certain World Leader butting in however much he gets under many peoples skins - and that fractionism, is what has over the years bugged me.

We should be capable of just getting along whatever you call yourself.

I may not be uber frilly but you discount my girl/gurlish sides at your peril as they're there just show different and these days we all take from the big stock of interests what we find is us and you may still be working around that.


Things like this did interest me but back when I first had one colour schemes were a bit limited and Hello Kitty wasn't offered on Viewmaster Reels and the ones with character shaped fronts weren't about.

I mean you couldn't even stare at cute denim Hello Kitty dresses as they weren't around and well even if I might of won that battle, I still needed pockets to keep stuff in while you're playing and they didn't exist as somebody somewhere thinks pockets are a boys thing.

That's crazy!

Sometimes girls who love being themselves opt for things that are practical and let's keep on being the girls we feel we are rather than any one take.

Horizontal hold

 

That's very much how I'm feeling right now having returned, had a bit to eat and dropped off overnight, a bit achy and rather late in getting up as I was a bit shattered really.


I did find six mini eggs in the egg hunt that was pretty good going dodging shower and gained an additional egg  apart from enjoying the quizzes Saturday evening  and the games went well with our team with two of us with walking aids won!

There were some comics and a cd awaiting me.

An Easter Post

Easter Monday? It is today but wasn't when I got around to typing this post out between things like listening to boom radio who mark Easter with a vote in Chart of listeners all time favourites so the Roberts Rambler radio is on and loaded with batteries in case we lose power with this storm they're all talking about.


That's another reason to get this this done as while the Chromebook has batteries, the router doesn't!

We've had a few Easter cards this year and the plushies have been up to their usual tricks hiding stuff but I spotted this!!!!

Ooo Err, a duo of likes - chocolate and unicorns all wrapped in one tasty package while I watch a view a few youtube videos from the likes of TechMoan and Stu's nostalgic tv centric channel before playing the odd record as we've like several hundred lps here.

You just grab a few and play!!!!

Anyway Happy Easter folks!
