And Then, It Is Done...

   And that would be the wallpapering of the bedroom.
   Further to the passage of time, once upon a time, papering was a task I enjoyed – well, almost – and the wonderous moment when you stood back** and saw you’d successfully papered round and into the window recess? Always cause for a wide happy smile.
**Safety Note: Do not attempt stepping back whilst still on the stepladder.
   With age against me? Job approached with dread, took a bunch of time – mostly lost climbing up and down the stepladder – and, sadly, the only moment of true enjoyment was putting the pasting table and steps back in the shed. For the last time?
   Oh how the mind changes as time flies by at the speed of the arrival of the day to recharge the pill poppin’ pods.
   On the plus side the televisual receiving device was ignored thus no news is good news and I’m quietly confident I’ve missed no good news.
   Okay, seems I was right and no good news was missed. Some war or other still going on with the leader of the country being attacked{?} taking time out for a tour of Europe and a devastating earthquake which dwarfs this countries crying about the cost of living ‘crisis’ into, like, total insignificance. Oh, has that quake been blamed on climate change yet?
   Anyhoo, by way of a task complete wind-down, lets have my go to favourite track of this genre of music to be found on the WWWY - that would be the Web Wot’s Watching You. Never mind, never gets old.
WARNING: As previously stated, Timidadians and those that find fun 0ffensive please be advised this clip features folk seemingly enjoying tobacco and alcohol, scantily clad young ladies and scenes of gratuitous violence.
Happy daze.

Thanks. Made me smile and then laugh. Something modern comedy has rarely done.

Ripper,
Try it, it can be surprisingly satisfying.
