Thursday Thirteen: My Usual Hodge Podge of Irrelevant, disjointed thoughts

Would you like to join in?  The button on the side bar is linked to the mother ship.  The trouble is that you have to search diligently for it.  So I shall link it  HERE.. 

Let the fun begin!

1. The situation in The World at Large looks rather dim, but never fear.  Some one is going to do something, somewhere, that will flip the whole nasty string of events to an even higher level of RED alert which changes nothing except that it will make me go off spartan diet and eat all the ice cream that I can possibly stuff into the Freezer before the weekend.  Ice cream.  The surest antidote for Life’s hideous little surprises.

2.  

I say, Let’s eat Cake with that! 

3. I have found photos of a lot of yarn that I’d forgotten I even had.  😱 Please do NOT report this to the Yarn Patrol.  Thank you!  I will be forever in your debt.  Let’s to not tell the world, either.  Oops.  🫢 

4. I've been really struggling to get rid of “anything” at all. The reason is that I'm sure I'll get a Round tuit.  Then I think, " Who am I kidding?"  You see, I have even LESS time to use them with every passing day. What's more,  has anyone ever even SEEN a Round Tuit?  Does it look like this?  

This is an REAL Egyptian Round TUIT

From HERE,  though I really think it’s someone trying to rewrite world history.   It’s very suspicious 🤨 

5. I can hardly stand to spend any time thinking about the creeps that run big countries anymore.  So, I’ve taken to distracting myself by making VooDoo dolls to ram PINS into, and to burn in a fire pit at the beach.  This one is called "Puteenie".

The Neosporin may be applied later
But... probably not.

6. Today is a relatively cool August day.  The rest of the country is in trouble, weather wise, but we got all that this winter.  I'm truly glad to have a little good weather break.  That isn't to say I'm not sorry for everyone else with the weather they are getting.  Here, in truth, it's a not exactly a nice cool knitting day, but almost. 

7.  We have a Jackie Chan movie for this evening's entertainment.  I never tire of Jackie Chan and his Exploits.

8. Mr. Z has fixed the Sewing Room clock!  I am SO PLEASED!  After years of unfailing service, this pretty thing had packed it in.  Now it's got a brand new brain and new hands.  It's chugged along faithfully for about an Eon, but the little electric chugger quit recently.  Amazon seller to the rescue!

 

9.  The five tortoises are out and about and four are now fighting over the back yard.  I'm thinking of letting my Girl go and stay at another garden so she can get away from these stupid battles.  This one is Churchy and he also needs to get away, too.  He is the father of the brood but his green eyed son is twice his size now and Churchy is now losing every fight.  I feel for him. 

10.  Mother and Son.  They are the ones who have green eyes.

Lucky on the Left, Poko Ono on the Right

11.  This is how small he once was.

BEBE Fresh out of the nest

12.  I hope to pay a lot more attention to my Ukulele.. I want to spend time learning to play my "little flea"

13. My music for it.  It's time to devote at least an hour a day to learning it. 

You all be good and see you next week! 🙏❤️
