OK I’m back-maybe; more than enough solar stuff, not enough
lack of cold, just enough atmospheric movement and not even a watering can full
of skywater at the Castle this morn, the last week or two have been “interesting”-ish,
rested the elbow a lot, still managed to mow the moss (with a bit of grass in
it), bordered the borders, hedged the hedges, visited most of the friends I
have that are still alive, went to some nice places, cleaned the nu-Honda,
sorted out the cupboards and fixed the leak in the shed roof.
This time of year is a bit dodgy for me, “M”s birthday four
days ago, my old Mums in two days and my Dads five days after that which may
explain my apathy, laziness, indifference, sloth or lassitude regarding the
blog, visiting, commenting etc or it might be that I just couldn’t be bovvered
or that I had nothing to say.
Anyway; after lying in the garden for the last few days
soaking up the vitamin “D” and turning a nice shade of Bliar I decided to sweep
the dust orf the laptop and put digit to keyboard, one thing I have noticed is
that the hit rate (around a thousand a day) hasn’t changed much since I stopped
blogging-maybe there is a lesson to be learnt there.
There is the usual bollocks on the box, Auntie is still only
“reporting” one story each day-today it is the “Local Elections” which I didn’t
bovver to take part in mainly because I can no longer tell the difference
between the combatants, but it appears that old Niggle Garage’s lot seem to
have soaked up most of the “protest” vote, the other load of twats are still
arrogant enough to brush it orf as “mid-term blues” and “let’s wait and see
what happens in the general election”.
Meanwhile back in the real world; the gas and leccy mob have
put up my charges by 50% plus, the water thieves are still taking twice what I
should be paying, the interweb provider has bumped up the “line rental” by over
ten percent and I won’t even mention the price rises dahn Tesco.
So all in all not a lot has changed in the last fourteen
days apart from getting more expensive, the Gov is still fucking about with All
and Sundry, and I have to wait until next Wednesday to get the results of the x-rays
and other “tests” before I know whether the elbow is treatable or the organic
mechanics are going to get involved.
So there we are; the status quo is still in force, the
country is still buggered, the Millionaires Club Coalition still can’t find
their rear exits with a colonoscope, the economy is still verging on the
ridiculous and I still don’t give stuff.
But on the bright side the garden is finally coming to
life-there are oodles of those blue flowers-you know-oh yeah-forget me nots,
the Brucie hedge has bloomed, the bluebells are on the rise, the azaleas are
about to burst into blossom, the mock orange is almost mocking and the roses
are shooting up faster than unemployment.
That’s it: I’m orf to get the sun longer out of the dry
shed.
And today’s thought:
That’s the last time I sunbathe in the nude.
