I just wish everyone in the Uk could have heard it as even the unflappable Eddie Mair sounded just a little "flapped" by it all
Loud and clear

Baby Jesus
A couple of comments on last night's blog entry queried just why I would be looking for
The baby Jesus in a patch of nettles
This photo is in way of an explanation
Baby Jesus was hatched on Easter Sunday
he's a feisty little bugger, who is constantly tunnelling his way to freedom
from under his nursery run.
The weather is atrocious today
I'm busy stuffing a marrow at the moment
Listening to classic FM
Rash
It's 23.10 and I am sitting here rubbing witch hazel on the top of my buttocks with a tea towel
I am allergic to nettle stings
And got a double dose on my builder's crack and thigh when
I was hurrying to retrieve Jesus from a particularly thick bunch of the stuff behind his mother's run.
I never noticed having a rash until I got home after Samaritans
Me and my delicate skin

Arse Butt
Just to clarify the previous blog
I've just " found" this photo on my iPad
Stand off
Winnie and Irene
Irene was just about to butt the bulldog up the arse
Don't mess with a scruffy ewe
How VERY dare you!
Another beautiful day here in Trelawnyd. I have spent the day strimming and planting, stopping only to sell eggs to a few visitors. I was just boxing up half a dozen for ex trelawnyd man Peter, when a group of amblers walked past. Peter started to big up just how nice my eggs were and had a small crowd of them listening to his spiel when one old lady with the obligatory ski sticks and knapsack piped up loudly
" there are two goats over there chasing a pig!"
" I haven't got a pig" I told her shortly but turned around anyway to see what she was looking at
I snapped this bad photo after I went to investigate

Godzilla........
Yesterday I did what I always do when dealing with the fall out from a slightly pissed off " black dog mood"........
I went to the cinema...you can't beat a bit of escapism when the chips are down
Well, firstly , can I say that it's nice to see another Welshperson doing well in Hollywood..ok apart from Katherine Zeta jones, Anthony Hopkins, christian Bale ( yes he's welsh) Michael Sheen and
Duffy, that is (.......and before you bleat away... Duffy did make a very passable film called Patagonia in 2010).
Welsh director Gareth Edwards, has been given responsibility for the latest reincarnation of Godzilla and seems to have directed the biggest smash Hollywood has seen all year....wisely he has taken the movie back to its Japanese roots and has made a monster movie which is at times a wonderfully exciting and interesting take on those 1960 far eastern " man in a suit" flicks as well as being a little disappointing journey into old fashioned action movie sexism and American Flag waving.
Edwards has obviously embraced Godzilla's original persona of an avenging hero ( the monster surfaces to challenge two giant praying mantis type creatures reawakened by the 1950s US nuclear tests in the Pacific) but stops short of having a Japanese hero. Ok he has cast the delectable Ken Watanabe as the lead Boffin in charge of ridding the world of the giant reptile threat but was sure not to give him the major action role.
That goes to an American hunk with a pretty blond wife.
The American men take the lead... The Japanese Prof looks angst and ( in my view) sexy but is allowed to do nothing as are the women in the movie (Elizabeth Olsen, Sally Hawkins and bizarrely Juliette Binoche) who say and do bugger all.....
But I know...I am being just a little picky.
Edwards also plays a great deal of games with the audience, as much of the monster action is "seen" through other mediums almost as an aside......we seen Godzilla battling with the MUTO Through fictional tv coverage, through the windows of a school and a train and through CCTV coverage etc before cutting back to the actors.
It's an interesting if not slightly irritating ploy.
Ok, I have to say that there are some wonderfully inventive visual set pieces amid the action.
A stunning panorama of chaos as seen through the massive windows of an airport lounge. The eerie view of a monster creeping underneath a railway bridge where our hero lies terrified on the rail tracks and the break neck escape attempt of nuclear reactor personnel from the basement of their crumbling plant , being stand outs in the roller coaster ride.
By the end of it all, I was exhausted by all of the action. Irritated that it was all more " American"
than Japanese and despite my enjoyment , slightly disappointed by its poor use of Watanabe and the female characters.........but I was impressed by the fact that generally it was a " what it says on the tin"
Movie...... Big, brassy, gob smacking........and fun
7/10

I think Godzilla looks a little like a bull mastiff

A Restorative Grape
Yesterday I had bit of a black dog day. Nothing major caused it. A few niggling irritations. An unthinking comment. Too little sleep. Torrential rail and thunder storms, whatever it was, it's all gone now, washed away by an afternoon scrubbing muddy dog prints from the kitchen floor and a therapeutic ten minutes feeding black grapes to a dying hen.
There is something strangely wonderful when you see a little scrap of an animal closing it's eyes with obvious pleasure when it's eating something it desperately wants and needs
Chris has always commented that I am abit of a " feeder".
Anyhow I slept solidly for over nine hours last night and I feel better for that too, though my head does feel a little like a massive cotton wool ball
The dying hen is bright eyed and waiting for her grapes this morning, so I'll buy her and chris a punnet each when I go to town.
I'll get him something nice for supper too. He walked the dogs for me this morning without being asked
I must have looked too buggered to be woken up.
Hey ho
Me me me me me!
