well what a week, put the flat on the market and have had one round and some booked for next week, we were always told “put your money into brick’s and mortar” NO sod all that just get a good camper, this year has really taught me something “sod what we were always told” just paint up your van, go nfa, tune in and turn on,
“that made you look” look’s like the local sparrow family have got some competition this year from this lot, a family o blue tit’s have been making a move on the feeder all weekand now on to the bodywork, time to get the comfortably numb ready for the summer,so out come’s Mr grinder, one large tin of filler, and a few tin’s of primer, always feel primer a waste of money all you do is slap on about two tin’s then sand off about one and a half of them,
“well that did the trick then Dave” oil is now over $2.00 a barrel, think for the next raid Dave best fill the jet’s at Tesco's at least you’ll get the club card point’s, remember Dave we all need to pull our belt’s in.
thing’s in life Billy find’s pointless, the British government saying “o no we must stop the civil war in Libya” (oil) boy band's, girl band’s, nick clegg, (give him a colouring book when Dave's talking) polo mint’s, russle brand, left handed kitchen thing’s (sorry poppy) the law’s that stop the freedom to wild camp, Viagra, and DIY this is what my lost week has been spent doing,
“it’s ok I'm not dead” just been busy with those things in life you must do to earn a crust, learning new software, web stuff, etc, and standing back in ore at the new wychwood brewery website
so the past two week’s “well” apart from sorting the flat and getting it ready to try and sell it again, starting on the rust spot’s on the van, “think I'll just do the rest in photo’s
beef cobbler (Wiltshire style)
“I'm back” and by the look of it eating for six,
coat water an oasis in north Swindon, last time i was there was about forty year’s ago shame i left it that long, so last but not least and getting back to beer again “wychwood beer at that too” scarecrow , (i was feeling abit arty at the time) so make this pattern on adobe then run it through pinnacle studio to animate it, then add some Syd Barrett photo’s and a classic old Floyd track mix it all up then put it on YouTube and you get this. “enjoy”
(no small fluffy animal's or children were harmed and only two bottle’s of scarecrow were drank in the making of this video)
9' o’clock this morning i downloaded it, unzipped 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
“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.
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
“nice ah” well walk fifteen minute’s and you find all this
or even this
and yes this is still Swindon and to prove it “look a pretty glass call centre”
but it do’se overlook this
“and yes we’ve even got the odd redneck or two here as well”
“well hello again Billy here” think I'm starting to win the battle against this flu thing, so I'm back here 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 about 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
his hand’s will never end up as an ashtray’s in some penthouse flat, and as for more “ahhh” moment’s “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,
so i took the camera out to try and get this start of spring thing
“yes I've enhanced some” but felt the mood needed it the colour coming out of the grey of winter.
