monkeys and sunshine

It's sunny! it's sunny! (today, Friday)The thing about house work, I find, is that when I have done it, I find the results delightful. Even wander around beaming slightly upon my efforts.
This happens rarely and usually adds another dimension to my procrastinatory abilities :)
I've just cleaned the computer desk. Wow! :)
:)
And while I was doing it, the heavens emptied a few more buckets of rain outside the window. It's supposed to be getting better by Saturday but I do wonder whether that's wishful thinking from the weatherpeople. (yesterday - Thursday)

It seems that extreme situations will always throw up extreme views. This, I am impressed with as an example of how faith (and a reluctance to apply reason to dogma) will make monkeys of the best of us. Well, the holiest anyway. Oh, alright, the supposedly holiest (where's charity, the best of virtues, in this)*

Believing in God is no excuse in my opinion for unbridled prejudice and lazy, self indulgent spouting. That's only my opinion though :)
It's still sunny! (today again :)

*I have no quarrel with the view that greed and carelessness may have brought judgement upon us, only with the idea that allowing homosexuality has too.

Narrowing the focus

We have an annual event next week. The Bardfest as it has come to be called. That is to say, a big gathering of the family at our house with camping and BBQ and lots of food.
This is a lot of fun and involves merriment, small children, often half naked, at least two, possibly three dogs, tents, more food, oh, a good deal of drink, more food, late night world sorting/silly conversations on the lawn, delightful, scatty, elderly ladies. It lasts from some time on Friday evening until some time on Monday and no doubt, causes the neighbours a certain amount of entertainment and/or annoyance :).
It also involves a good deal of advance cleaning and tidying of the Bardsley house. So it's possible, next week I may become somewhat obsessed with the minutiae of scrubbing, cobwebs, paintwork and floors. I may make lists. I may become so involved with the gargantuan task of getting this house in order that some of these lists and some descriptions of the things I encounter and the obstacles I overcome (or circumvent) will find their way onto this blog. If so, I hope you'll forgive me and be patient :) Some of this stuff may not be pretty!
What's more I am procrastinating. There may be blogging about how much I haven't done!
So here is something pretty to be going on with :)
