Khujarao Sculptures and she told me to look it up. Very dangerous thing that because I do pay attention you know! So above is just a sample of the sculptures and from what I've seen Mona was right!

City squirrels will eat just about anything, and often, it's the junk food that people offer them that they prefer, like Cracker Jack peanuts.

Jerk barbecue can be traced to the 1600s, when Jamaican runaway slaves preserved and cooked meat in dug-out pits and basted it with native herbs, spices, and chile peppers. The name "jerk" has uncertain origins. It is believed by some culinary experts to be derived from the Spanish word "charqui," which means dried meat, or from the French term "charcuterie." One legend suggests that the phrase "jerked pork" was coined because slabs of pork were literally jerked back and forth over a hot grill

Once in a while in Blogland you do something and get the distinct feeling that it might not work!Though it worked last time this is a slightly bigger project and doesn't involve ice cream at all!
I have a very new friend in blogland who isn't doing that well at the moment with one thing or another. Remember when the doctor used to say, "You need a bit of a tonic" instead of diagnosing through the pages of the internet and sending you for extensive tests or saying just take these and if they don't work just come back.
Well anyway I thought I'd make up a tonic for her, BUT I don't know her from Adam well yes I do, well Eve anyway ; she lives thousands of miles away, on a different continent in fact, has a totally different lifestyle to me, has radically different opinions and interests............
THE LIGHT BULB MOMENT...
Check out her profile, select some key words and send them to her, no better still post the results myself at least she will see it and she may even comment. Should only take 5 mins to get a few pics shouldn't it? 
That'll be a real tonic for her..
Favourite film, easy that it's one of mine too
She travels a lot and mentions Whitehorse, Yukonso she'll recognise that then, more than I do!
Favourite book, oh dear here we go let me introduce my co conspirator Google. There that wasn't too difficult.
Oh music that'll be a doddle.
Great Big Sea. What? Never heard of them! Couldn't be something like the Rolling Stones could it, that would be just right for a boring old fart Brit like me. Oh typical Canadian band, figures where's me friend gone. Here Google, google, google.
Ok! That's it then. Yeah I know a bit of googling but is it that personal, do I want it to be personal? No just a tonic. Remember the things you've bought for people and you've only bought them because you like the record or cd or whatever well this is the reverse!
I listened to Great Big Sea. I'm always saying this weirdwideworldwebbything is fantastic and it is. I even got the lyrics of Ordinary Day by Great Big Sea from the album Play released in 1997.
I’ve got a smile on my face, I’ve got four walls around me,
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I’ll win now but sometimes I’ll loseI’ve been battered,
but I’ll never bruise, it’s not so bad
Chorus
And I say way-hey-hey,
it’s just an ordinary dayand it’s all your state of mind
At the end of the day,
you’ve still got to say,it’s all right.
See that girl on the street, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won’t stop trying
She might stumble, if they push her ’round
She might fall, but she’ll never lie down
Chorus
It’s a beautiful day, but there’s always some sorrow
It’s a double edged knife, but there’s always tomorrow
It’s up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and your ship will come in.
The lyrics resued it from being really awful to be honest, though it started well and showed real promise but the chorus let it down.
So there it is Tonic for a Friend. No time to wonder whether she'll like it or not or even get to read it. Straight over to hers to let her know its here.
Now I get that feeling again that it'll all go wrong! If you read this far please leave a comment and if you're really good I could do it for you..........
A frog walks into a bank and asks the teller, "Who do I talk to about getting a loan?" The teller shows him to the office of the loans manager, Ms. Patricia Black.
"I would like a loan for $20.00 to buy a new lily pad," the frog tells her.
"Do you have any collateral?" asks Ms. Black.
The frog produces a small statuette of the Eiffel Tower with the inscription "Souvenir of Paris" engraved on the base. Unsure whether or not the object is worth the amount of the loan, she summons the bank manager.
The manager inspects the trinket, nods his head, and says, "It's a knick-knack, Patty Black - give the frog a loan."
'i would rather regret the things that i have done than the things that i have not.' - lucille ball.
THESE SIGNS ARE GREAT
