Listen Hear

Blah, blah, blah “not here to say what you want to hear” said the PM yesterday on behalf of the populace.




Whereas, I only ever hear, what I want to hear!

Monitor

Old TV

It’s what I’m using at the moment. It looks great, a few problems though; like no sound and graphics so big I’m getting to be the reverse of cross eyed. I’m sure there is a medical term for it, feel free to educate me with the technical name, though don’t expect me to be able to pronounce, if one does exist?

Really should set up my own shopping site and look at getting a new monitor. It can be my next project!

Mandolin

The Wandering Mandolin

My name has changed so many times; there are even many ways to spell me, never mind play me.

I’m pretty old now and a little battered and have often and for many years been enclosed and left safe within a case that is as battered as I. Strings missing and un-tuned and not living the purpose for which I was created, but not uncared for; though perhaps not in the way that my maker would have liked, nor me for that matter.

This is the begining of something I started writing about the trials and tribulations of my grandfathers mandolin. I didn't get very far before I forgot all about it. Perhaps one day I shall return to the idea, that's if I remember. It'll probably go the same way as Jacobs Sheep!

Angling

Women of intelligence, who have something to say for themselves are classified as being forceful, assertive and confident.

Women of lesser intelligence are classified as fishwives. My husband claims I fall into the latter. Me thinks he's angling for a slap!

Cycling

Pedal Power v horse power

Locally there has been a lot in the news about cycling on the road, whether abreast or single file, beeping horns, chopping up, common decency and what the law states etc.

All I have to comment on is the fact, having been a cyclist myself, (but who happened to take it for a walk more that pedal it, due to living in a very hilly county I hasten to add) is why; when at great expense to the tax paying public and drivers with properly taxed transportation and where cycle paths have been put in place, do they not use them?

The same question was added in the local news. I await the response, but not with bated breath!

Perhaps a road licence should be implemented for cyclists, a little more revenue for the empty coffers, or at least a fine for those that don't use the cycle paths where they have been provided.

Problem, to bake a cake or not?

I was going to make a cake today.  Well it's wet out so I was having a mad moment.  It passed when I checked cupboard for ingredients.  Flour, marg, sugar and as I didn't have any of the main ingredients I didn't think it economical.

Good Point; put it like this, by not making one, I didn't use the car to go to the shop or use any electricity and no mess or a pile of washing up to clear up.

Bad Point; no cake!

Good Point; non fattening - problem solved.

I'm practicing uploading pictures and couldn't find one of a cake!

Web Classes

Basically I need to take some lessons. Perhaps I should look in Amazon for a book that can help a novice like me make some sense as to what I'm actually doing on here. Unfortunately I've forgotten my password to log into the site in order to download a widget to enable me to log in!

I know I'm not logical and obviously I have a tendancy to do things backward as it might of been a good idea to get some lessons, prior to setting up a web site along with this blog site.

Of course there is a lot of advice on line and most freely given, but if you are anything like me you're lost before you start with the jargon, never mind the HTML. Still, take heart that if I can do it, so can you, quicker and better too.

Eventually I'll move forward (well that's the plan)and know what direction I'm going to focus this blog site on, but prepare yourself to having to wait a while and when / if it does happen don't expect anything of high intelligence or sophistication, you'll be lucky to get rational input, but it will be my view and either delightfully frivalous or a tirade of frustration, depending on my mood!

Poem

Constant

-

In lethargy when all relaxed I drift along the shore

Each pulse, each breath, rumbles within my inner core

Distressed when down and lonely, life nothing but a chore

Deep in my darkest heart, a black tempest wants to roar

Dark destructive menaces, tied to seek relief for ever more

-

Day in day out, come high or low, restless, never still

Forever pulled and pushed, beleaguered, ne'er to my will

A howling gale, a whirlwind, a keening sound so shrill

Waves of wrath and passion, a vacant space, no frills

Broiling, wracked n emotive, to some a nervous thrill

-

A gentle rushing gushing, beguiles my troubled thoughts

Serenity and beauty aide and abet, to deny, not as they aught

High reaching aspirations, desires, that often come to naught

Mysterious depths and crevices that are craved at being sought

Secret caverns, within a hidden soul, safe from those that haunt

-

Languorous in constant yearning, that goes so very deep

Endeavoring, by day, for all that lives and trying not to weep,

Governed by the moon and stars, to wash away man's grief

Steadfast, abiding and enduring, a heart rises joyous in a leap

Eternal hope draws in the shore and along it, I majestically sweep.
