Don’t Panic! Update I

Hello Neighbours!

I thought you might like an update on work going on here at the LoL. It’s stressful. Not the construction – that’s coming along a pace. No, it the stuff that goes inside; there’s quite a lot of it and squirrelled away in all kinds of places. Most of it lovingly protected in a thick layer of … um… what’s the word …?

*Thank you Clicky.*

*That’s quite alright. We couldn’t have you running around bare legged now, could we?*

Scruffy, the chap in charge of the logistics on site, has been quite helpful in this regard. He suggested I consolidate all our fantabulous materials. Genius! It seems to be working so well for the build, I thought I’d give it a try. The only problem being was the lack of a shed …

*Yes, Click. Spectacular*

Eventually some space was found and the consolidating could begin …

Investigating treasures

*Alright! Just show the photos please, and do stop smirking, I’ll narrate.*

Really, it very green … recycled racking …

… even the walls were utilised … plenty of space …

IMG_1299

… we were even able to start putting recollections together …

IMG_1298

… ready to be installed when the Library is ready. Drip-fed of course, because there is just so darn much of it … lots of hidden treasures.  Which reminds me. You may have spotted the smoking notice I’ve put up. I was reminded to do so after rediscovering this neglected item…

Really, Scruffy has been most accommodating with his ideas. He even lent me a copy of his handbook … extraordinarily useful … I’ll must dip into it again …

*Thank you, Click! Now would you like some bacon?*

Let’s start at the very beginning …

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.

Cracked Up Pepper

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

Ahh …

Kit Bisto

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

Darth Kitler

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 …

pussy6

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 …

Gazing into the Abyss … An Occassional Series

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 …

 
 

Purple Growing Pains

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 …

How it should have ended.

Election Day today. This morning I voted for Purple in the General and for Bacon in the Local.  Support was given to the former because they don’t despise me as a tax paying smoker.  Hopes are not terribly high for a good outcome because of the electoral system. But in the success of the latter, I have more confidence entirely …

This evening, as the Exit Poll came in (expected seat wins for the Purples: 2), Assistant Librarian Monsieur Loopy Moostash approached …

… and asked me to consider a video clip for inclusion in the LoL. Upon reviewing I am happy to oblige …

Election results will be revealed tomorrow.  In the meantime, have a Song …

EPILOGUE … A NEW THORPE

Independent councillors are PURPLE in Southend. I should have know, two of them were standing outside the Scout Hut where I voted …

Ee By Gum … Enough Werble Dire Hearing? Part 2

Talk about a sync! After posting Part 1, Thoughtful Man decides to go food shopping for the week and asks “What do you fancy? Do you have any particular HANKering?”

hanker (v.) Look up hanker at Dictionary.comc. 1600, of unknown origin, probably from Flemish hankeren, related to Dutch hunkeren “to hanker,” of unknown origin; perhaps an intensive of Middle Dutch hangen “to hang” (see hang (v.)). If so, the notion is of “lingering about” with longing or craving. Related: Hankered; hankering.

Pure LoL from me at that synchronicity 😉

Anyhoo, what else was in the box of crap?

The one ring, hung from a chain …

At one end of the digestive tract is the BLUE NUTRITION UNIVERSE

and at the other the RED EXCRETION UNIVERSE, the one that can ‘bind them’ …

I see the middle as sort of …

Nope, not done yet *sigh* … might need some roughage … excuse me while I disappear for a bit more exploration … 😉

Ee By Gum … Enough Werble Dire Hearing? Part 1

This one is a big one … it should have been the first but it just wouldn’t come out. This is about the RED UNIVERSE and in the World of MRS REGN, the RED E stands for EXCRETION …

Excretion

is the process by which waste products of metabolism and other non-useful materials are eliminated from an organism.

Let’s start. like so many journeys down memory lane do, with a box of crap

Let’s sift through it a bit …excretion (n.)Look up excretion at Dictionary.comc. 1600, “action of excreting;” 1620s, “that which is excreted,” from French excrétion (16c.), from Latin excretionem (nominative excretio), noun of action from past participle stem of excernere “to sift out, separate” (see excrement).

But also listed on the same page of Etymology Online …

perspiration (n.) Look up perspiration at Dictionary.com1610s, from French perspiration (1560s), noun of action from perspirer “perspire,” from Latin perspirare “blow or breathe constantly,” from per- “through” (see per) + spirare “to breathe, blow” (see spirit (n.)). Applied to excretion of invisible moistures through the skin (1620s), hence used as a euphemism for “sweat” from 1725.

Since the end of 2012 I have been visiting my favourite RED UNIVERSE woods, having a sniff and leaving my mark. There’s a lot of stuff to sift through … this might take a while. Better take some reading material …

In the meanwhile, have a joke …

… and a rhythmic Song that you just can’t help moving to …

Throwing Curve Balls or F … Cough!

So on reviewing my last post, the Y’Ello! one, I can see that it’s packed with quite a lot information and could be viewed as being a bit dense (story of my life!).

Nevertheless, I would be more than happy to answer any questions left in comments and certainly would appreciate the input of those more knowledgeable than me, especially on math-type things 😉

Still, it’s up to me to have a look about … so I did and discovered a new take on the Golden Ratio … a recent one, too:

Inspired by the golden ratio, mathematician Edmund Harriss discovered a delightful fractal curve that no one had ever drawn before. But it’s not just a pretty picture, it contains some lovely theory – and brings the golden ratio into a family of perfect proportions.

I’m no expert but that looks like growth to me.  GROWTH is Purple and theG in MRS REGN and a whole different post …

As always, Scooby Snax are on offer, so in the meantime, have a Song …

And if you don’t like my offer …

Loins and Tiggers and Bares … Oh My!

“Excuse my ignorance, what’s Y’ello?”

A question received from my Twitter friend Mhehed Zherts …

Mhehed Zherting

Mhedhed Zherting complains that he’s ‘slow’ but posts the most beautiful music clips …

I will try to answer the question with as much satisfaction as he gives me 😉

To help me I will employ Fib-on-R-see numbers that I’ve been exploring with my other good friend, Blue Universe blogger and Twitter buddy, Leggy (whisky is the oil in his typing fingers 😉 ) …

Legiron

The Fibonacci  numbers are Nature’s numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind

The first 11 numbers in the sequence are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 21, 34, 55 and 89:
