Whilst many frightened people were buying toilet paper from Sainsburys the other day
I bought a fluorescent pink light up flamingo
I use it in the kitchen as a night light for the dogs especially when I am on nights
It runs by batteries and sits to the left of my favourite oil painting of "Trees in a shady wood"
Last night just before I went to work I saw fellow villager " Jim"stop and look through the lane window. His dog was waiting to sniff Mary who had gone all stiff legged and serious at the sight of another terrier so close to home
" I like your flamingo" Jim said after We had approached " It's so cheerful........like your pictures "
I always like the way that Jim is unapologetic at being " caught" looking through my window
After all it is I that invites passing looks by constantly illuminating the scene and by not having shades on the windows
" all is well when I see the flamingo lit!" He said rather cryptically as if liaising with a fellow spy
" All IS well" I told him as the terriers sniffed and bristled together in the darkness
That flamingo rocks!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting night light. All is well, it's all we can hope for.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have a fluorescent light of a coyote howling at the moon. It makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely that your neighbour is keeping an eye on you. Reassuring. Indeed, all is well.
ReplyDeleteI think he like us all enjoy getting a glimpse into others' lives
DeleteWhat could be better than All Being Well.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have nosy neighbors they are the first to notice when things are not well. I don't have any nosy neighbors. No one would notice if I stopped breathing :).
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have someone, a neighbor, a blogger, to notice. Take care, stay in touch.
DeleteYes, that is neat! And nice to have good neighbors...

I can't say in all honesty John that I like your flamingo, but I can say that I love the sentiment behind it - that you should look for something to bring comfort to your dogs when you are absent at night.

DeleteI'll bet it makes the whole downstairs glow with a gentle pink light in the dark. Nice!

Always have one's priorities in order I always say. Pink flamingos are far superior to toilet paper....well, of course until one runs out. X
ReplyDeleteLovely video John-reminds me that I should just celebrate being alive x

That flamingo ... shades of campy Florida!
Hugs!
Jamie our choirmaster loved it
DeleteI told him I'd buy him one
I want one! It will be something cheerful to look at over the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteOh great. Now all the shops are going to have a run on neon flamingos.
ReplyDeleteLove the flamingo! It IS very bright and cheerful, even if completely non-native to your corner of the globe. :)
ReplyDeleteBetter than toilet paper anyday. :)
ReplyDeleteFun purchase if it makes you happy that is all that matters and nice for the pets to not be totally in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI like that in the midst of hysterical Panic Buying you opted to purchase a Delightful Pink Neon Flamingo!
