Well.. it is not a great day, is it? With horrifying stories from all around the world of genocide and violence and scenes of terrible destruction.
OUR hearts are sad and WE are sure that wherever YOU are and whoever YOU are.. Happiness and Peace must amongst the words in YOUR prayers to the God of YOUR understanding.
WE, correction, SHE is preparing to be very busy for three weeks, so it is a pleasant change to sit with HER and drink tea.. not LapySang at this time of day.. it is Indian with a very different aroma and taste.
The sitting room looks positively empty, that HUGE pile of ironing dwindled until there were just HER summer work jeans to be done and with a final whoosh of the steamy-iron.. they were folded.
Ha ha.. raining here now but a tray of Fava Beans has gone outside together with a tray of Garlic that SHE grew to fill in the odd one that refused to grow through the winter.
The Lilies of the Valley are sprouting outside with lots more shoots than last year, such a divine plant for it spreads happily and SHE is more than happy for it to do so!
'Sunburst' Cherry tree has FOURTEEN blossoms on it! Yippee, SHE is very pleased as it is only a baby tree and growing in a small pot by the front door, in June, it will have the central stem cut back hard, SHE is going to 'Espalier' it against the wall. The pretty blossom is pure white, very dramatic against the red brick of the house.
SHE was very sad when reading all the world's press this morning, not HER normal happy self.. so I was doing MY utmost to practise a high grade level Tomfoolery in order to make HER smile, when all of a sudden, there was in our house, a new tune!
WE suggest that YOU look for it on YouTube, WE know it to be there, WE have just listened to it!
What a remedy! I am not, in any way, belittling the dreadful things that are happening, but if the thought of terror goes everywhere and enters YOUR home, then YOU are lost. I would rather SHE read a novel or saw friends than sat in fear, so surely 'a doctor' would approve.. do YOU have a clue as to what it is?
It dates from a gentler, softer time than now and came from a marvellous film which starred Sophia Loren & Peter Sellers, the film was 'The Millionaress'. He is a doctor and she is his patient.. "Oh Doctor, I'm in trouble"..
I have mentioned before that there is a lot of "boom de de boom" sung or whistled in this house when SHE cannot remember words
or a tune.. well, this song is just perfect, why? Well, "Boom de de
Boom" are in these lyrics.. WE kid YOU not.. and, yes of course, the song is 'Goodness Gracious Me'.. and one verse goes..
"Can I see your tongue?
Aaah..
Nothing the matter with it, put it away please.
Maybe it's my back?
Maybe it is.
Shall I lie down?
Please do.
Aaah.."
"Boom de de Boom.. oh goodness gracious ME".. and it truly IS goodness gracious HER, for SHE has just realised that these lyrics were written by a client of HERS, Herbert Kretzmer, the amazingly talented lyric writer of Les Miserables, etc, etc!
Boom de de Boom, Boom de de Boom, oh Goodness Gracious Me.
GeeGee Parrot.
