I just love it when the eggs come marching on.<br />As for the lederhosen...I wouldn't be caught dead in them, but they do look good on him. ;)<br />And I am serious about one thing in that post, I MUST have those tail feathers !!!!<br />As for gardening I envy you.It's a very civilized pursuit...if you have a good manservant to do all the hard work. Sadly I don't have much space to grow anything, and besides it's not sheltered enough to grow the kind of plants I'd love to grow... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43956799762588239302010-04-19T01:13:29.238-04:002010-04-19T01:13:29.238-04:00hi Stewart...thank you for your sweet comment. And...hi Stewart...thank you for your sweet comment. And I'm glad you liked this post. There are some I REALLY enjoy writing, but then when I wake up the next day I think uh oh can I take that one back? <br />But as you say there's so much nastiness around, so now and then I just have to write about the simple but sweet things in life. Or shout it out.<br />And your story about your sister coming back to Canada made me smile. Don't worry I'm sure living in the UK will have made her a better person. Once she stops complaining about not having a Tesco in the neighbourhood, or not being able to watch SKY TV, or read the Sun. And you remind her that here we call an orange an orange not a jaffer, I'm sure it will work out fine... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-26461645472956674022010-04-18T18:52:37.524-04:002010-04-18T18:52:37.524-04:00lol -- I love that clip; it's one of my favori...lol -- I love that clip; it's one of my favorite Scissor Sisters tracks. I've never seen SS live, but it looks like it'd be a ball -- I loved the smiling barn, the dancing eggs and the watermelon chorus -- so funny! Yeah, and Jake looked cute in the tail-feathers, too, but what <i>IS</i> it with him and the lederhosen?! It's like he's got some sorta fetish for them, or something.<br /><br />As for what's "in the air", around here it's gardening -- I'm going outside right away to start turning over the soil and getting it ready; I can't wait to start getting some plants into the ground (I <i>wish</i> I had a greenhouse, so I could start earlier... maybe next year.)'bertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359719357963538654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-38839118307502943632010-04-17T10:42:34.120-04:002010-04-17T10:42:34.120-04:00I love your blog Simon, and this is a fantastic po...I love your blog Simon, and this is a fantastic post. Made me smile and I need that as I just found out that my sister is coming back here to live after being in the UK for years. Major downer (we do not get along and the worst part is that she thinks we do).<br /><br />You're great. Thanks for doing all that you do to fight the growing nastiness in this country. I never would have guessed there were so many mean spirited Canadians. That US societal pollution corrodes us all. I want to go back to the time when the very sweet "Hinterland Who's Who" was on TV.<br /><br />Have a great day S<br /><br />StewartStewartnoreply@blogger.com
