A spirited rendition of the Swedish heavy rock Euro hit . They give it gusto , my choir !
I’ve been out of circulation for almost a week now
I’m not right still,
A post viral lethargy ?
Who knows.
This morning I resorted to Lego, and I loved it. Something concrete to think about, coordinating brain and hands ( something I never really been very good act)
This morning I made a toucan. Ok I couldn’t fix one wing in place
And ok I fucked up his open beak
But I was pleased with his disneyish charm
The one thing you realise when you are poorly, is that, like in death, life plods around,you thank you very much. Without a kiss-me-arse or nothing.
Village elder Islwyn cleared my garden rubbish without fanfare, the Facebook complaints about the deforestation of the Gop have continued and the Trelawnyd Community Association met at the Velvet Voiced Linda’s house on Monday to look at resurrecting the youth Club.
The go Green group did more work on the village Wales in Bloom application.
And the male voiced choir can he heard practicing again every Tuesday night.
As the village is surrounded in cold mist and January’s paralysing icy nights
Everything plods along.
With or without you
I think that's a pretty awesome toucan! Is it wearing blue Crocs?
ReplyDeleteAssembling Lego kits the size of your lovely toucan was a great benefit to me several winters ago. In the throes of a deep depression I found that focusing on the step by step instructions (not always easy to understand) kept my brain from worrying and spiraling. Maybe some hot chicken noodle soup would help aid your recovery from the viral crud. Hope you’re soon better. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou can do a toucan.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are recovering.
Any news on the ongoing relationship with your German friend? I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing you future happiness with that special someone.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are all dispensable, much as we like to think otherwise. Anyway, I'm glad you're (slowly) on the mend. I won't say anything about things taking longer as we age, I'll just say it's obviously a powerful bug! That toucan looks like it'll fit right into your eclectic collection of quirky stuff. Just put it somewhere away from Weaver's attention. She'll demolish it in the blink of an eye, just for pure devilment! xx
ReplyDeleteI remember distinctly the first time I had that feeling of the world not being affected in the least by me or what I was doing and it was when I was in labor with my first child. Dare I say the agony I was in caused me to realize that women go through this every day all over the world and the rest of us go about our business, not knowing or even really caring?
ReplyDeleteIt was profound.
You will join the world again soon, I bet. And it will be better off for you being there.
The first time I felt like that was when my dad died 25 years ago. My dad just died, and my mum and I still had to eat. It was very surreal. It's the same with all of us. Life will continue on, with or without us. It helps me to think about when I want to leave behind for those I love.
