PORTA GAYOLA DE LAS LETRAS

As I read the masterpiece that is A Passage to India I wonder how it is possible for such a serious theme to read so funny.
Who doesn't love twentieth-century literature hasn't read enough...

SEPTEMBER BLUES

Yes, I am seriously wrapped up in a sleeping bag. Sharing bed this time ... with an almighty virus from hell.
Thank God for hot choccie with marshmallows !!

THE ORACLE

So, instead of opening the Bible in any odd page and check what the ancients had to tell me for today, I have the idea of asking Youtube, moving with the times and that...
and what's the first video it spits back at me? :

Alber Cummings - LONELY BED - uploaded to Youtube by Don's Tunes

/Lu closes the broswer before the song is finished, shakes her head and goes back to the Bible

HOPE

Tom Waits - Hope I don't  fall in Love with You

It's Friday people, at least for most of you.
Make it count.

It's freezing this morning in my room, I think I will make Autumn wait by staying in this bed a little longer today.

MODERN SLAVERY

I show you mine if you show me yours (chains)
but for now, it's breakfast in Tiffany's errr. wrong movie. In Berlin 29!!
Good day, humanoids.

SEA BREAM CONVERSATION

Do you want to know what happens when your dog nearly dies after hours waiting for your breakdown assistance to turn up in a very hot country?
This happens, and I quote (the names are changed of course, except for "me". Please don't think us insensitive, in extremely stressful jobs such as emergency call centers it is quite common to slide into a comical conversation to try and mitigate the bad yuyus that arise sometimes) :

Sarita: "the guy had to perform CPR on the dog"

me: "Sorry ... the customer had to do CPR on their dog? how the heck do you do cpr on a dog?"

Fabian: "have you watched Something About Mary?"

Biggest Boss: "they didn't have to do cpr on the dog surely!!!  how do you do cpr on a dog???"

Fabian: "have you watched Something about Mary?"

me: "I don't remember anyone carrying out cpr on a dog in Something About Mary???"

BIGGEST BOSS: "they didn't do cpr... the dog is staying with family!"

Sarita: "the dog is staying with its family???"

BIGGEST BOSS: "No! it was the wife"

me: "the dog's wife had CPR done on her???"

Fabian: "just watch Something About Mary and you will see how CPR is done with a dog!"

of course right then we had to check on youtube and sure enough:

 It's Friday people!!!! have fun and for heaven's sake:

1/ don't travel with dogs around Europe in a car

2/ always take plenty of water and/or blankets in your cars if you do travel by car all over Europe

3/ if you can... DO NOT TRAVEL ALL AROUND EUROPE IN YOUR CARS!!! 

4/ if all else fails DO NOT CALL MY EXTENSION AT WORK, thank you very much <3

ODDBALLS AND SCREWING

Back in the UK. 
and with the routine came back the washing up 
and with the washing up came the watching movies 
and with the first movie came the unpleasant realization that everyone screws everyone in French cinema
and with the realisation that everyone screws everyone in French cinema came the realization that everyone screws everyone everywhere 
and with the realization that everyone screws everyone everywhere came the realization that I am definitely an oddball. 


One universal secret has been obvious to me for decades: the grass is nearly never greener across the fence. in fact one's lawn gets greener the more one lies on it.


off to bed earthlings. happy dreaming.
