“9' o’clock this morning”

9' o’clock this morning i downloaded it, kingoflimbs_sign_600unzipped it, and loved it, the sound of oxford filled the room and is still playing now, think only Radiohead can do this and long may they doing it, seems this album may have been inspired by the time spent in Savernake forest recording in rainbow’s http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/articles/blogs/finding-radioheads-king-of-limbs this link will fill you in on it all, always thought this fella was king there 145

“so look’s like it another camp at Savernake to find this one then”

this is a follow on to the last blog, yes it’s all grey out there still but on today’s walk apart form all the new bud’s on the tree’s and the regreening of spring one thing did stand out, the birds and one little fella in particular the gardener’s friend, the show off, or the robin, love these bird’s even had one eat fro my hand once, (they love grated cheese or suet, try it) these two loved the camera,

and now the folk law bit, a little brown bird saw Christ on the cross wearing the crown of thorn’s so he swooped down to remove it, as he did he pricked his chest.  

“west Swindon”

odd time of the year this spring is just starting to show but it’s still all abit grey, the feeling’s are all there to get out and about but everywhere looks the same so i might as well show you “west Swindon” where i live

asda_west_swindon1“nice ah” well walk fifteen minute’s and you find all this

had this on draft for almost 7 week’s now, it’s a bit late but just needed to get it right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 “well hello again Billy here” think I'm starting to win the battle against this flu thing, so I'm back 071here with a late what Poppy, Charlie, and Billy did at Christmas, was it a kiss from a sea lion or maybe just that Puerto de la Cruz thing that happens every year that i was to ill to spot this year “what ever” don't think i could ever say anything bad 012about Puerto after all these years of going there, Puerto is just Puerto were Catholicism meet’s Zen and we pagan’s can enjoy mid winter solstice  in  peace, did miss Christmas eve night but pop and Charlie did their best dressed up to the 9’s and hit the town (it’s a Spanish thing) Christmas day was the normal 80 degree’s + but still laid up so never got my swim in the sea, boxing day “fit at last” so off to loroparque  love this place, it’s not like a zoo it’s more of an ark

049his hand’s will never end up as an ashtray’s in some penthouse flat, and as for more “ahhh” moment’s108 “mum’s had to many and i want a cuddle” and as for the sea lion’s just visit the holding pool’s after to see what show offs they really are,

“look’s like it maybe time to come out of hibernation” think I'll stretch out an arm grab a hobgoblin (other beer’s are available) scratch my arse,and parp, (but not all at the same time) this has seemed to have been a long winter, think I've been busy elsewhere but it’s all done now so i think Billy's back,
