Sung to the tune of ? Love is all around me ( as in film ? Love Actually)
Cockroaches
I see them in the pantry
I see them in the hall
they're crawling out of closets
and scaling kitchen walls....
But I'm like waiting for them
with bug spray in my hand
a swatter in the other
to hit them when they land..........
and so on and so on...you get the picture by now! It also explains my absence from this spot for the last few days. Surfing the net, reading and writing blogs is fun, catching up with emails too, but from time to time one has a rude reminder to take a break from virtual world, and get on with the daily mundane, like cleaning out pantries, cupboards, which with the sudden advent of some warm weather have suddenly sprouted legs, antennae and take some chasing I can tell you! All is well now, pantries have been cleaned, and bug zappers installed in strategic places.
(With apologies to the original writers of that tune!!)
Anyway, I am back in the saddle today, typing with 2 taped up fingers, trying extra hard not to make gaping typo errors. The fingers are taped as they are very sore -a touch of arthritis I think. Wonder if there's a song ripe for the writing about that subject - no, on second thoughts, maybe not.
As previously mentioned, a few days ago Dh and I were invited to the opening of an exhibition by the very talented Bec Juniper, whose art is displaying both at the Gomboc gallery in real time, and online as we speak. Link to the gallery is down below.
We had a tremendous time just walking around the gallery, both people, and canvas watching.
I met a fascination lady - Judith, an arts journalist,and here's a wave to you Judith if you happen to read this blog! It was lovely to meet you!
Next, we took a long, but pleasant drive into wine country, and it just so happens I has my digi cam with me ready to tantalise you all with my snaps! enjoy! And yes...the earth is remarkably red here.
Then it was onto the olive farm to get our regular supplies of garlic olives, sensational taste of summer!
as you can see from the next two photos it was a hot sunny day.
