keeping things simple

I've just turned 60 ... (that's a huge milestone - for me personally) ... love scrapbooking and crafts

I use this account to log memories and the usual moans and groans

If you're not comfortable with any of this ... follow these simple instructions. Don't bother following me, block me ... don't care, whatever ... my blog my rules, I'm not looking for popularity, just me in my silly little world. And if you are following me, welcome to my private hell ... and enjoy the ride!!

And do not follow me if your only goal is to have a go at me via private message, you WILL receive an instant block and if you still persist you WILL be reported without fail

Don't you just love it when you have a car and you're able to do the simplest stuff, like shopping, dropping donations off etc.

No?

Well, that's fine, so many people have gotten used to that way of life, that they regard some folks without any means of transport as annoying

Don't they realise just how humiliating it is to ask for a favour? And roll their eyes, suggest other means to transport your stuff because you're being 'cheeky'

Yeah, i know I could get a taxi, but I don't want to spend too much money, since I regard that as frivolous

It's hard enough to pluck up the courage and ask outright.

A cheeky and rather flirty Lady Penelope with Gordon

And a totally different fandom

Chris Pine

J=Jeff, H= the Hood

H ... "you're missing the whole point, Jeff, we could mass produce on an epic scale, and can control the sea, land, heck ... even outer space ... and yet you choose to build a small rescue business ???"

J ... "yes, that's true"

H ... "Tell me ... what good is a small business? When you have the whole world at your fingertips? ... and just five vehicles? You're going to run yourself ragged."

J ..."I know, but I chose this concept because I'm so tired of conflict and I do not believe I have God-like powers."

H ... "you're an idiot, there's so much potential here."

J ..."I just want to be able to save a life."

H ..."You can't save the world ... nor everyone, the world is broken and corrupt, but if ...

These pics should NOT be posted together but this is how I found them

Now, how about this for a lucky guess, Gordon's launch sequence but in civvies not his uniform!!

Watercolour

And the Chaos Crew in pencil

Toying with this idea off and on for a few days

What if ...the Hood didn't 'discover' the Mechanic, or negotiate with him, but had him genetically modified.

After all, have you seen the size of him? The muscle structure!!!

I'd say he's a modern day Frankenstein, without the stitched on body parts, but his body is deeply scarred, which explains all the tattoos and heavy leather clothing that reaches up under his chin

I reckon that he was a casualty of the Global Conflict, near to death when the Hood found him, he saw that he could bring him back to life and alter his whole persona to play like a stringless puppet

Gosh, the possibilities are endless ... to create a total army of soldiers to do his bidding

The forecast said it would be warm, but cloudy for much of the day, so I decided to put my clothes out on the line to dry

Guess what?

There's now a threat of showers in the area?!?!?

So, rather than chilling out, expecting the clothes to dry, I'm now on high alert with my basket ready and the back door unlocked so I can make a mad dash to rescue said laundry

I'm trying to cut down on using my tumble dryer so much because I've noticed the daily electricity usage is creeping up on my smart meter 🤔

So bang goes a nice relaxing day

And Alan's been swiping the self tan lotion😲😉

I need a few suggestions ... I have several dressing gowns doing nothing just hanging off the back of the bathroom door, I don't want to throw them away because they're in fairly good condition

I could make some teddy bears since I do have the stuffing, eyes and joints

However, there isn't much space to work on and I'm not sure that my new sewing machine will take all the thicknesses together

Can't donate them to charity, since charity shops refuse to accept them because of 'hygiene issues'

Someone suggested that I donate them to an animal shelter or make dog beds ....
