Sunny Tuesday

Any of you girlie-girls remember the lovely Japanese pencil cases with magnetic lids and pop-out drawers? They were the bees-knees back in the 80s and I had all sorts. Beautiful Sunday, Hello Kitty, etc. Filled, of course, with the precious pens, pencils and erasers that go along with them.

When we were little, my girl friends and I used to have a Stationery Swap Club at school. We'd bring our folders of gorgeous Sanrio stationery and barter while we sat cross-legged in a circle at playtime. I bet I would have a proper giggle if I could go back in time and watch.

...All this just because I used an adjective before the day of the week...

And now I can't remember what I really meant to blog about.
If you really want to know, I've gotten into a general mood in which I've stopped noticing the world and have nothing to share...

So now it behoves me to rely on others for our entertainment. Blackadder to the rescue:

Excerpts from Blackadder season one:

Percy: Only this morning in the courtyard I saw a horse with two heads and two bodies.

Blackadder: Two horses standing next to each other?

**********

Blackadder: Run away from the hills! If you see hills, run the other way!

And a good one from Blackadder II

Edmund:
Right, Baldrick, let's try again, shall we? This is called adding. If I have two beans, & then I add two more beans, what do I have?

Baldrick:
Some beans.

Edmund:
Yes...& no. Let's try again, shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make?

Baldrick:
A very small casserole.

Edmund:
Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. One, two, three, four. So how many are there?

Baldrick:
Three.

Edmund:
What?

Baldrick:
And that one.

Edmund:
Three...& that one. So if I add that one to the three, what will I have?

Baldrick:
Some beans.

Edmund:
Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was something that just happened to other people, wasn't it?

The Surrealists would be proud...
