My Top Ten Favourite Movies(Just so you know)

(In no particular order.)

The Shining ( brilliant acting, mad director and brilliant location)

The Great Escape ( brilliant acting, hots for Steve McQueen on the motorbike, tragic but momentous story of struggle against tyranny)

The Sting ( Paul Newman and Robert Redford, great together and excellent plot )

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ( Total romance of American West)

Threads ( a stark reminder of the potential aftermath of nuclear war)

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie ( Absolute Classic to watch as a teenage girl)

Life of Brian ( Monty Python and Classic Humour)

The Producers ( Well basically anything by Mel Brooks)

Watership Down ( Animated Film, will never forget the book or Fiver )

The War of the Roses(1989) (Genius , like a lot of Michael Douglas Films- nb. The Shining , he was the Producer)

There are lots more….. so not a definitive list.

Hope it gives you some good ideas and you can watch them sometime somewhere. Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Existentialism

What do you love about where you live?

Love and Living two very potent and significant words. I don’t believe they apply to any place, no matter if that place ticks the boxes of desirable,fashionable or even safe.

Where you are is where you are. What you can do with it is a variable that we all have responsibility for.

  2. Quite a nice day, blue sky and white fluffy clouds.
  3. Go for a walk
  4. Come back from walk
  5. Hoover and put washing on.
  6. Think about something nice for lunch.
  7. Have lunch
  8. Think about packing for holiday.
  9. Oh Omnipotent Being!

Say What You Want to Say How You Wanna Say It.

You have my support in communicating anything with whatever words that you choose.

They are words, they don’t bomb or kill people, they can be used incorrectly , but they can disappear into the ether just as easily and be forgotten in a whisper. They can be laughed at. Yes they can offend but only if you let them and they can express all kinds of emotions.

In other words, say it as you please.

La Tienda de Cosas

If you were going to open up a shop what would you sell?

I would see things(cosas), because things are what people want and there are plenty of them, so I would never be out of stock.

All sorts of things even thingmiajigs, which people would be unsure of but which they would be able to get advice about from friendly knowledgeable staff and sometimes the staff would offer coffee or tea and biscuits, just because it was a nice thing to do.

So much better than remote shopping.

Namaste and Thank you for reading may your omnipotent being go with you.🙏

My Magic Fly Swatter

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time.

It doesn’t kill anything and it’s magic, so it does whatever I want it to do. It does scare people and flies( and lots of other insects too) because they think it’s an ordinary fly swatter and they think I’m going to hit them with it. Obviously I don’t and anyway all it will do is energise them and make them magical.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.🙏 May your omnipotent being go with you.

Small Changes , Big World

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the World?

What does this image mean to you? It’s an AI generated image of Small Changes , Big World and it generates for me some interesting dilemmas. Why the packaging sculpture behind the desk? Why the very” in focus” plant pots ? Why the out of focus light and window?

Now I look closer it’s not a wooden desk , perhaps it’s a wooden box. I don’t like the laminate floor at all and the box has been put on a very nobbly carpet to presumably stop the laminate floor being scratched.

The object that most strikes me is the paper sculpture, what is it’s role? Is it supposed to look like a large piece of stone , or is it wrapping something that has an odd shape. Perhaps there are people hiding in it ready to jump out and populate the room.

The interesting thing is ,in this case , the image is AI generated from all it’s sources and in return it gives us something to think about. Perhaps it’s just nonsense, or perhaps it’ll help us follow through on our curiosity.

To me it’s helpful and perhaps going on a blog journey with other people who see the image and may think differently is what makes this all worthwhile.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏💗

Alternative Universe of my liking (Swimming with Bears)

Well I had to think of something alternative and better than anything in the universe that I know and it was indeed to swim with bears( without of course getting eaten) and for the bears to feel happy and relaxed that I am there.

Magic…..
