Hugo just posted this on MEROVEE. It’s the trailer for one of next summer’s blockbusters: X-Men: Apocalypse. 

“Sophie Turn ner Gene Grey”

Oh, come on Clicky. I started a thread at Sync Miss For Him. And I just turned this sight grey. I’d better take a time check: 17:37. 5.37. Great!

Mum died at the start of September. I have some of her ashes. The rest we went to scatter today… around a tree that looked a bit like a squirrel…

Early this week, my friend Cynarea StMary posted about her recent birthday celebrations on UBU. She included 5 randomly selected songs from her personal playlist. I don’t have one of those; I have a Thoughtful Man who has an extensive music collection though, generally, I don’t to hear more than an intro, or start of a chorus, because he’s likes to skip to the next. He was the same with the TV remote control when we used to watch telly 😉

Today, on the way to Squirrel Tree, he played 5 songs all the way through from a mix-CD he’d made to listen to at work. So, these are the songs randomly selected by Thoughtful Man, and that we listened to right through to the last note.

I got told off for asking if this was ‘Kylie’. I don’t know – Stock Aitken and Waterman’s all songs sound the same to me…

“Who’s this then?” he asked, selecting the next song. Apparently ‘Busted’ is an incorrect answer…

“I went through a country phase” was offered like an excuse with the next song…

“Clever woman, Kim Wilde, writing a song with ‘America’ in it. Yanks love that” was the insight offered with the next song. I just sang along…

Some pix from our time with The Squirrel Tree, then…

The 5th song, then, played as we left through the main gate…

Actually, there was a complete 6th song listened to. But that just followed on from the last and wasn’t randomly selected at all 😉

Click the Family Song…

Arrived at last!*

Hello! I’m Roobeedoo … Drat! I can see I’ve already arrived … Never mind, I’m here now, but more importantly I’ve got the Logistics Plan with me for this new build Library.

I warn you, all construction projects have peaks and troughs in the programme, but having a good Logistics Plan works wonders to smooth them out and keep down costs.

They are also very Green … ensuring less waste and better productivity when materials arrive exactly when needed … much safer all round. Quite frankly all Project Managers should have one.

Visitors are welcome whilst work is on going, there is PPE enough for everyone who signs in. Whilst you’re doing that, have a Song …

* An unfortunate side-effect of hopping between universes is a tendency for shambolic timing … the past is the future and the future past. A good attitude toward being seen as unfashionable is essential.

I’d like to introduce another Assistant Librarian at the LoL … Kit Bisto

Ahh …

… ain’t he sweet. I keep a close eye on him though because … well the wrong influence could potentially turn him into …

… Darth Kitten. Believe me, no universe would be safe as the young man absolutely refuses to lose an argument.

We can spend days discussing storylines and character merits from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.  Tonight, however, he asked me to consider the following (longish, I warn you) video for inclusion in the Library.  I’ve agreed because … well, in my day job I am referred to as Pepper Potts by a dashing ex-RAF Wing Commander.  I’m rather flattered by that even though, if I’m brutally honest, I’m probably more like Miss Funny-Fanny …

Anyhoo … presenting Kit Bisto’s Library clip … ‘Iron Man VS Lex Luthor DEATH BATTLE!’ … It’s most amusing and informative. For instance, I hadn’t realised that Tony Stark was actually adopted …

If you’ve sat through that, you probably deserve a Song, so please do have one …

Whoa! That looks like an ugly purple growth!

According to A Void *obligatory selfie* …

Red Universe A Void is bloody marvellous

Not sure if you folks will agree, but GROWTH is not always healthy or desirable, no matter what the politicians say …

Sometimes the best kinda growth is GREEN …

But here, again, be careful there is not too much of a liberal lashing …

Jealousy: Mad about you – A symptom of neurotic insecurity?

If you want to find out more, you need to employ a ‘Click’ or two. I have a super one, moved in a while ago … I have no idea where he came from …

And whilst Click is working, please do have a Song …

The Red Team lost BIG at yesterday’s General Election. Not only did they fail to beat the ‘Baby Eating’ Blue Team (‘the Horror!’), but their leader then vacated, found themselves flushed out of Scotland and, most unexpectedly, received an almighty kick to a very special area *wince*.

Until a new leader can be found, Harriet Harman will take the reins of the Red Team.  Good luck with that!

Love the purple cardie – gotta get me one of those … 😉

Seriously, if you do find you have a purple growth – Go see your Doctor.  If, however, you’re just feeling dizzy and nauseated ‘cos your team didn’t win yesterday, can I suggest you … have a Song …
