Friday Funnies

Hi,

The probability of rain falling was low, but the clouds said otherwise.  All day long it was dark, then sunny, then back again.  In the end, it didn’t rain.  

The ‘Zany Day’ song was “One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater” by Sheb Wooley.  For this week’s ‘Old School Friday’ we’re going to look at a ballad that began life in 1942, in France.  The English version has had numerous covers.  I’m humming a 1964 version that became the signature song for a singer with a great voice.

“(Intro)  Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends, never lovers, ever friends.  Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away, I sincerely want to say:  I wish you bluebirds in the spring to give your heart a song to sing.  And then a kiss, but more than this, __ __ __ __…”  Hint:  A bittersweet love song.  

It’s looking like we’ll be camping in the guest room for the weekend.  Unless the unit got repaired and can be reinstalled tomorrow, we’ll have to wait until Monday.  We miss our bedroom, and so does Daku.  Today he went upstairs while Lisa was working in her studio.  He wanted to go to his favorite place and hang out but the heat was too much for him.  He came out pretty quick and hasn’t asked to return.  

This morning we went to the little cafe near the university for mid-morning coffee.  We sat in a different part of the place and got another view of the whole operation.  The staff was sitting at a table near the back, cutting the long string beans and other vegetables, preparing for the lunch menu I guess.  We like this place because they bring you a little tray with your coffee, some little crackers, and a cup of tea.  

A few minutes south of our coffee stop was Makro.  While cruising through the produce section I noticed an interesting looking plant part, but there was no sign of what it was.  I took today’s photo and later found out from Natcha, that it is bamboo root.  Yum.  

This evening Neetchanon discovered she could throw her ball if she threw it behind her, over her head.  She did this a bunch, with accuracy.  When Daku decided he wanted to play tug-o-war (with her ball) like we do upstairs, Neetchanon had a fit.  They both have identical balls, but Daku’s lives upstairs and her’s stays in the kitchen.  He had stolen her ball and it was not ok.  It didn’t take long to get the ball back to her.  Of course, she just threw it away.  It was the principle of the thing.  Kids.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.   Stay tuned for the ‘Funnies’.  Thank Alan for the laugh.  It’s a Formula One weekend in Azerbaijan.  Maybe you should watch, just so you can say you’ve seen F1 from Azerbaijan.

                  Peace,
