Update with Bullets

  • Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate it!
  • Being English, I do not celebrate the day we lost the Colonies!
  • If the British had won, you would now all have lovely accents like me.
  • Fred just got up, wished me a happy Fourth of July and said, "Ha Ha, we won!"
  • It looks like a cool and sunny day outside. Yesterday, it rained all day.
  • It rained because I had watered my flowers and the landlord’s garden the day before.
  • There is a green tomato on my tomato-in-a-pot. There are several little tomatoes on the landlord’s tomato-in-a-pot
  • Before I got this new printer, I was constantly finding things I HAD to print. Where have all those things gone?
  • Today I must tie up the tomato-in-a-pot to the stake. I wanted a cage but there wasn’t one to be found in the garden shops. Next year, I will cage-shop early.
  • Amazon sucks money out of my account and spits back lots of lovely Kindle books.
  • The book I am reading now for the book club meeting this month is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and someone else. Actually, the someone else wrote the book and Mortensen gave him the info. It is nonfiction and I recommend it. It is, again, a book I never would have read except for the book club.
  • I am doing a lot of looking– the first step before buying–at Wacom pads. I actually have a very old one plugged in right now {have I mentioned that this Apple keyboard has two USB ports on it?} and mostly use it for playing Bookworm. The Wacom site shows a lovely new model called the Bamboo which could probably seduce me back to computer art…
  • The topsy-turvey tomato is still alive and growing albeit very slowly. I don’t expect tomatoes from the poor little thing… This is an old picture before it started curling up towards the light.
  • It is such a lovely day outside, I may well go for a leisurely walk.
  • I haven’t yet called for an appointment with the doctor who put the new hip in. I will.

I would like to have a lovely accent like you, instead of the one I have. So I wouldn’t mind if we were still a colony! A BIG colony! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

Just talked to a Brit in AU and told her the same thing! Not sure that is the best thing to do right now, as GB might have been better off if George was ONLY a king, and not president! hahahaha I am watching the tomato thing, as I have mine in pots this year and will bring in in fall and try to keep thru fall, at least. be well…dan

You’re having the other hip done? I didn’t know that.

My parents have an accent and I was born in England. Being raised in Canada erased all trace of being British to the public eye. I am sure the printer will come in use. I wish I had tomato plants!

Kindle books…can you pass them on or share them with other people? Just curious. I have a pile of books I need to pass on.

The folks who taught the illustration class I took used a Bamboo. They liked it! I’m still loving my Intuos and it’s four years old! They’ve changed up the design a bit, though. Tablets are fabulous. 😀

Rule, Britannia!….NOT!

July 4, 2008

When Britain first at Heav’n’s command Arose from out the azure main; Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main; This was the charter, the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain: Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves! Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves! Oh, yeah?

I just wished a fellow from the UK who lives in this country and noted the irony of it. He informed me he was going to spend the day going from bush to bush, hiding from the neighbors’ musket fire.

So um…the 4th of July is a kind of significant day in somewhere that’s not England is it? 😉

You’re quite right not celebrating 4th July!!
