Crowing

-

 I've not bought stuff to cheer me up in years....experience has taught me that I always choose badly when I'm in that frame of mind. However, I very occasionally might make an unplanned purchase if I'm feeling particularly upbeat. Yesterday I was so cheered by the sunshine and the buzz of chattering people along the main street that I popped into a little independent hippy shop that I've never ventured into before in a quest for some more incense. They had some lovely stock and the most amazing smelling Nag Champa & Jasmine incense [now my new favourite] and oh yes....then there was this.....



With my love of corvids how could I resist this crow......I realise that this falls way outside the remit of the more common impulse buy, but then I never was a girl for shoes and handbags!!

    I kept an injured crow for months as no one else would take him and I loved him he was so clever. I have looked at them differently ever since.

      I love them. I have a FB friend who has spent the last year nursing an injured jackdaw back to health. Arilx

The Flat Earth Society

 The Flat Earth Society is real with real people holding such views. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and let's just leave it at that shall we. I must admit that I was rather amused by this graffito which came upon during today's wanderings. Now with the way my brain is wired I can often see things from more than one point of view so I struggle to pick a side in an argument. Whilst I am confident of the correct answer in this particular scenario, would this make me middle earth rather than my usual middle ground if I was unsure one wonders😁 Me and my daft brain eh!!

TYM is moving from his shared house into a furnished flat in another town next month [still renting] and due to the insurance on the property there are a few mobile items with plugs that you have to provide yourself. That in itself really isn't news. He has decided to buy himself a microwave, a toaster and a vacuum cleaner. Although his salary has increased with his recent promotion so have his necessary outgoings so he has to be mindful when spending. Only a couple of weeks ago I found out that there's a local house clearance company who are trying to improve the reputation of the business by not just throwing everything they can't sell into landfill. Instead they offer items within a specified area for free which you can ask for on their FB page. If they select you they then drop it off on your doorstep for free when they're working or travelling en rout
