HOW TO MAKE LOVE

Ingredients :
4 Laughing eyes
4 Well-shaped legs
4 Loving arms
2 Firm milk containers
2 Nuts
1 Fur-lined mixing bowl
1 Firm banana.

Directions:
1. Look into laughing eyes.
2. Spread well-shaped legs with loving arms.
3. Squeeze and massage milk containers very gently.
4 Gently add firm banana to fur-lined mixing bowl, working in and out until well creamed. For best results continue to knead milk containers.
5. As heat rises, plunge banana deep into mixing bowl and cover with nuts, leave to soak (preferably NOT overnight though) 6. Love is complete when banana is soft. If banana does not soften, repeat steps 3-5 or change mixing bowls.

Notes:
1. If you are in an unfamiliar kitchen, wash utensils carefully before and after use.
2. Do not lick mixing bowl after use.
3. If cake rises, leave town.

Hey LOOK what I've been given!!!

Yeah look at what I've been awarded, by AZZITIZZ

This is an extra special award to me because it sums up the way I feel about blogland and all the peeps that have a little peek in at my world. They've given their precious time up to come on my site and whether they comment or not they deserve respect and I treat them with that and consider them to be buddies at worst and great friends and better at best!

Thank you Azzi, it really does mean a lot!

Ok I get to pass it on too which is great, you all deserve it but as in any true democracy some more than others.

(1) AUTUMN STORM - Wonderful site and really good buddy.

(2) CHEEKY FACES - Rants and Raves equally well. Very friendly.

(3) EMMA - Lovely person, do anything for anyone.

(4) JULES - Collaborator Extraordinaire. Most precious buddy!

Please visit all their sites and find out what I mean for yourself.

Seems a suitable time to say that after a couple of weeks of disrupted blogging due to work pressures and affairs of the heart, I will be back and visiting everyone by tomorrow, I have been amazed by the visits I've had from everybody who I haven't actually visited and I want to sincerely thank every one for taking the time and trouble to visit.

Quick plug for my other three sites, never miss an opportunity!!!

There's the One a Day (with Jules) a photoblog site that features just one picture a day from either Jules or myself and you can find that here.

Then my photos are displayed here.

Finally for the slightly seedier side of life and definitely NSFW there's The Gutter Press. Here.

CATCH A FALLING STAR!

So I was looking at some pics from 'my friend', yes the one that inspired Foreigner posted last week and the chat was about sunsets and clouds and trees and a few other 'sloppy' (?) images and I mentioned this song and said it was not my cup of tea, nor was I a fan at all of the 'old crooner ' that sang it.
Oh once again how wrong can one be just look at the words for a start!

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on

the shoulder some starless night

Just in case you feel you want to hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on

the shoulder some starless night

Just in case you feel you want to hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

(Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm)

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day)

For when your troubles start

multiplyin' and they just might

It's easy to forget them without tryin'

With just a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day(Save it for a rainy day)

Save it for a rainy day

Then I found this video, - The Sensational Perry Como sings a special Frank Gallop arrangement of 'Catch A Falling Star' - with hilarious results! On one of Perry's TV Shows from 1958. This video footage is taken from the compilation VHS - 'The Best Of Perry Como Volume One', originally released in 1991....It is superb, press the button before you criticize hey!!

NOVEMBER

November
by Thomas Hood

No sun--no moon!

No morn--no noon!

No dawn--no dusk--no proper time of day

No sky--no earthly view

No distance looking blue

No road--no street

No "t'other side the way"

No end to any Row

No indications where the Crescents go

No top to any steeple

No recognitions of familiar people

No courtesies for showing 'em

No knowing 'em!

No mail--no post

No news from any foreign coast

No park--no ring--no afternoon gentility

No company--no nobility

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,

No comfortable feel in any member

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,

November!
