The Bell of 'status!'

Me living as always in my own far away planet of thoughts
and Teddy walking around the house barefoot and inaudible
i often end up jumping out of my skin with freight
every time i suddenly discoverer him standing behind me
or coming out of a room i am walking into.

                       

So he volunteered a while back to hang a cat collar with a bell
around his ankle so that i can always be aware of where he is.

Very cute and sexy and much like i have my own ...harem boy
about which we joke a lot, yet i know not many husbands
would do this thing no matter how caring.

No need to say of course that this is a rather special case
because getting scared causes adrenalin to rush into my body
which consequently results in to many days of bleeding.

Sunday while i was getting ready for the pool
he looked rather thoughtful and preoccupied.
I thought it was due to his upcoming trip interstate
but the last minute he surprised me with a decision
to accompany me there for a swim, again so very nice of him.

We arrived early as usual in order to get a good lane
and the pool was still closed with a few regulars
waiting outside already.

On Sundays there is a young lad, a squad swimmer,
who often comes to open the Pool and when he arrived
he walked past us and proceeded to unlock the door.

While he was doing so - and as we were standing behind him
both Teddy and I observed that he was wearing a yellow,
leather like anklet, with brown shapes around his right ankle,
much like a cat collar really because of its shape, width and colour.

It seems that Teddy must have been thinking pretty much
what i was thinking, except that he had noticed something i had not
or rather i had not thought about ...

......and he leaned close to my ear and whispered:

      " He is not married .... ... No Bell! ... "


                   

Who me?...

I received this message with an attachment from Teddy:

" I've been meaning to send you this photo for some time :)
Reminds me of your fruit drink
and I see it every month when driving to ... !"



Not that i would ever do such thing when enjoying my Fruity!...

Ok!... maybe!......and maybe i make the sounds that come with it too!

Who could possibly resist?

"Desper...ado!"

Avocados are rather rare during this time of year
but there is a guy at the Redcliffe markets who owns
800 trees and luckily for me he comes there
and i buy some at a rather high price currently.

On Sunday he was not there when we arrived
and the Banana guy told us that he would be
arriving later so we returned home, went swimming
and then back to the markets for avocados.

Going to the markets twice when once is bad enough
to ware both of our bodies and souls out
was because the avocados now constitute the main bone
of my current diet and are more important than even
the bananas or pawpaws.

On the way there i was thinking about
how i was a bit anxious, really hoping to find them
and feeling sort of... "Desperate for Avocados"
which of course made me a real ..."Desper...Ado!"

So now we know the origin of the word 'Desperado!'
-in case any one was wondering!


And that's what a real "Desper ado" looks like

....... after someone has bought a box of it! lol!

Chinese - - - Really??!!...

Something similar to a Bull and the red colour
happens to me pretty frequently at the markets
when i see...green!

I feel a blind urge to charge!

So last Sunday while wandering among the fruits
and veggies at the Redcliffe markets,
i happened to notice a "Chinese Vegetables" sign
in one of the stalls.

The colour of the bunches was that irresistible fresh green
just like the blood of a young plant
which aroused the fytodracula instinct in me
and i lost all sense of discipline and the strength
to resist either the price or the logic
that i had no idea what the taste might be
or the way they could be eaten.

I simply surrendered and charged!

When i brought them home, it took a while admiring
and salivating before i finally put them in the fridge
and then i seriously started to consider the fact that
i had no idea what the names were or whether they
are supposed to be eaten raw in salad or cooked etc.

Basically i prefer the 100% raw foods so that i get the
maximum benefit of all nutrients, but there are some
that cannot be eaten raw whether i like it or not
so i started a small try with raw in the salad topping
but because i had some small kidney irritation and
could not locate the reason i treated them as suspects
and decided to steam them very very lightly and see
what the result would be in the kidney area or at least
until the real culprit was found.

With the very first forkful my eyes jumped out of their
sockets with a surprised delight and immense pleasure
because the Chinese veggies when cooked turned out to be
no other than my very favourite and very very,
as far as i m concerned ...Greek Vleta!...

I always loved them back then in that other life
but they were only for my father as they were too dear
and even for me later on to ever buy them
in my own little family.

So the experience was absolutely exhilarating
and i intend to repeat it more frequently
until i find their specific name and properties
which of course together with the responses
of my kidneys may put an end on this pleasure too

         

But until then.....Viva la Greek-Chinese Vleta!!!

Re: Please don't laugh ...its Real!

I suppose after this time passed we can all laugh ...reluctantly.

As for the spellchecker i must remember
that some words are spelled similarly
and one misspelled may be another one correct
but the difference in meaning rather lethal, lol!

Talking about worms in the brain
oh that would be way more preferable today.
I have a blinding and nauseating lobotomy
so severe that it has employed diarrhea to its aid
to make its presence more punishing than ever...



I m on Panadol and it s the second day
and tomorrow it is a Very Important weekend!
so i can see me loading more of it just before bed time.

Hope to see you nice and bright!

Please don't laugh ...its Real!

Clearing my 'Sent' email folders recently
i discovered red faced and to my utter dismay
this precious gem that bypassed
both my attention as well as the spellchecker
