3 Good Things (Redux)

Desmond79

Since the thread, which began May 2021, seems to have vanished, I wish to create a new one. 

From Darkness to Light. Smiley

1. I paid for a condensed tumble dryer, which I reserved on Tuesday; for delivery, tomorrow. Also paid for a three-year warranty. (In cash) 

2. I made a poem, entitled 'Storm in a teacup', about the arrival of Agnes. (SEYMOUR!) 

3. Bought more Farm-Fresh milk today.

  • 1. I had an appointment, with my Key Worker, this afternoon.

    2. I got talking to my neighbour; when bringing stuff, for incineration at her fire.

    3. I scolded Hope, when heading to do #2, after she ran onto the road. Afterwards, she came back home after I offered wet food.

    I think Isperg speaks a lot of sense here.  Cats and dogs and rabbits and horses and goats all tend to communicate by posture and "looks."  Most of them will do some noises too, but I very rarely make noises when I'm chatting with animals....unless it is a really low, calm rumble of words in my chest....they seem to like that.  A pi55ed-off stare at most animals is worth 100 decibels of shouting, in my humble experience.....they understand the point you are making much more easily with your eyes.....that's my impression, anyway.

    You gave her a great name.  Trust your naming.

    I missed the opportunity for toilet humour... 

    Item 3: If she was rushing to do a #2, perhaps she forgot? ;c)

    And I would bet you a 1914 george head sovereign (sadly I can't as I'd need to specify a period of time longer than my life, to be sure of collecting) one day they will find out that your eyes transmit as well as receive information. 

    Apparenlty "Ninja assassin" training includes an injunction to never look directly at your taget whilst silently creeping up on them. 

    A more day to day experince that some of you may have experienced is those days when biology is being particualry annoying and making you super horny how often you suddenly find yourself making eye contract with strangers.

    That is a phenomenon like the amazon logo sybolism, easily missed but once you become aware, it does stand out...  (so to speak)
