Is there no hope whatsoever at all?


Had a lovely night out with herself last night. We got invited to a themed 21st Birthday party for the daughter of a dear friend. The only stumbling block was that the theme was Ken & Barby. Initially, i wasnt going to have a bar of it, but some thought came up with the idea that we would go as Geriatric Ken & Barby. The second pic is what we won for the best costume.. Neat huh?

On a different note,(E flat minor) I was out giving the edges a trim with the dreaded petrol powered edge trimmer this morning. As i was working a male Starling was following me along selecting bits of long grass & carrying them off to who knows where for his nest. During one of the frequent breaks to allow for the changing of linewrestling with the vagiaries of the fuel system & the ever important swearing, this little chap hopped right up to within 3 or 4 feet from me & stood & stared. I'll swear he was trying to say thankyou for the free building materials. I gravely informed him that that
was ok, but he better watch out for the Ginger Ninja's, because they regard ground bound avians as legitimate prey. He gravely took it all in & then went on his happy way. I for my part gave up on the blasted weed trimmer & went inside to watch a Star Trek rerun..
