Hopefully this is the Hill of Difficulty, and Mount Clear is not far away now.

And I'll show you a house with a very messy carpet."

Spike 2
Spiked again yesterday evening. Temp 38.6 this time, but soon brought under control with more antibiotics and temp normal this morning. Breakfast doesn't look too appetising though.
Hopefully this is the Hill of Difficulty, and Mount Clear is not far away now.
Meanwhile, here is one of Julia's favourites from a different Spike:
"Oh, give me a Home where the Buffalo roam,
And I'll show you a house with a very messy carpet."

ReplyDeleteAnd God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said he would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.
Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion.
Chopsticks are one of the reasons the Chinese never invented custard.
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky;
ReplyDeleteI left my shoes and socks there - I wonder if they're dry? SM again
Hope I didn't rev the woodburner up too high and transmit all that heat. Cool it.
Bazonka
ReplyDeleteSay Bazonka every day
That's what my grandma used to say
It keeps at bay the Asian Flu'
And both your elbows free from glue.
So say Bazonka every day
(That's what my grandma used to say)
Don't say it if your socks are dry!
Or when the sun is in your eye!
Never say it in the dark
(The word you see emits a spark)
Only say it in the day
(That's what my grandma used to say)
Young Tiny Tim took her advice
He said it once, he said it twice
he said it till the day he died
And even after that he tried
To say Bazonka! every day
Just like my grandma used to say.
Now folks around declare it's true
That every night at half past two
If you'll stand upon your head
And shout Bazonka! from your bed
You'll hear the word as clear as day
Just like my grandma used to say!
On the Spike theme, one of the great man’s favourite stories:
ReplyDeleteA man was wandering aimlessly across the outback with his faithful dog, Fido. They are lost and growing weak as they haven't eaten in weeks. Eventually the man has to make a tough decision. "I'm so sorry, Fido" he says, before killing his loyal pal and cooking him over a camp fire.
Later, having finished his meal, the man looks down at the remains and sadly shakes his head. "How sad," he says, "Fido would have loved those bones".
Another on a similar theme...
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other chap takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "I think my friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says: "Calm down, we can help. First, let's make sure he is dead."
There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard.
Back on the phone, the chap says: "OK, now what?"
Take care of dem bones
First of all Patrick - wonderful post on Friday -it was an amazing and moving piece, I felt blessed reading it - I logged on to respond at that time and no words felt worthy enough.
ReplyDeleteNow here is a SM poem...and a warning to you do not catch anything and please (apart from all our corny googling!) be spikeless...
Its called Contagion
Contagion
Elephants are contagious!
Be careful how you tread.
An Elephant that's been trodden on
Should be confined to bed!
Leopards are contagious too.
Be careful tiny tots.
They don't give you a temperature
But lots and lots - of spots.
The Herring is a lucky fish
From all disease inured.
Should he be ill when caught at sea;
Immediately - he's cured!
Spike Milligan
PS can you explain that last verse to me!! Is that fish thrown back into the sea coz he looks sick or does he get cooked like the dog??

ReplyDeleteCouple more Spike quotes:
ReplyDelete" Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?" and perhaps more topically "After 5 days in hospital, I took a turn for the nurse".
Really hope the sickness and tiredness signify an impending victory for the good new cells in the battle for your body
XXXX OOOO
