I found the father of my candle flame sitting here on top of the laurel bush. He said it took him 8 minutes and 19 seconds to get there. Very straight talking chap and very honest about things too. Even when he asked me to Google him, it wasn’t boastful, just very direct and to the point. His point being that we need his energy now more than ever before. The solar power of now!

    I can never get the circles to appear when I take photos like this. What’s your secret ?

    They are kind of like big red photosynthesized smarties…

    oh Elissa, don’t. I’ve got a cold and I’m ravenous. Craving all the wrong stuff.
    Sniff.

    Oh no Helen that’s no good! Colds are best company in bed. I hope that’s where you are right now and not at work! Where’s those boys of yours? I’d say they should have made you tea in bed but….. hehe ;) How about strawberry Quik instead??

    Urghhh x2 !

    Work – needs must :)

    Here you go Helen…

    Replace tea with honey and lemon in hot water…

    What the heck is mucus thinner??!?!?!

  8. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 12:08 pm permalink

    Oh my ! Mucus is right up there with bananas and milk for making me cockly.

    Honey and lemon in hot water I can cope with – only I don’t have any honey. Maybe I could eat a Crunchie with it ? :)

  9. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 12:11 pm permalink

    Why he is a Norwegian TV Host – Marcus Finner – funny guy

    Mucus Thinner – that sounds a good cure

    Get better HB !!

  10. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 12:15 pm permalink

    Dime Bar( Buttersnap) with Blackcurrant all the way Helen

    Crunchie is a nice alternate though

    Ohh Mint Cracknel – remember those ??!!

  11. Elissa on 8th March 2010 at 12:24 pm permalink

    Oh Dime bars! My Danish boyfriend got me hooked on those years and years ago! Yum! If you like Crunchie Helen you would love Violet Crumble! Have you had one of those?

  12. Elissa on 8th March 2010 at 12:25 pm permalink

    Oh and haha re the Norweigan TV host Andrew! ;) Chocolate and mucus are related I’m sure….

  13. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 12:41 pm permalink

    I’m afraid I can’t be thinking about mucus whilst I’m eating my vegetable broth :)

  14. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 12:41 pm permalink

    Cadbury Phlegm Bar …..Ewwwwwwwwww.

    I will now draw a line under all this

    HB – I have dodgy sinuses as well and have to avoid certain foods……..

  15. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 12:52 pm permalink

    Helen – music to enjoy a Veg Broth

    Feel better

  16. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 1:11 pm permalink

    Marvellous stuff Andrew.
    Eating mango now. Might be my blocked nose but it tastes remarkably like Tizer.

    Lunch break over :)

  17. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 1:19 pm permalink

    Arrh Cointreau and Tizer -

    Imagine getting up and the sun wasn’t out. It would be rather freaky. Although perhaps everyone could have a lie in.

    reminds me of one I took yesterday… arent cameras wonderful… hold a second in time for as long as you want to look at it… Magical

    John Williams loves a steady sunrise, obviously devours cereal boxes full of whatever Vivian Ellis had for breakfast -with spoonfuls of Maurice Jarre on the side…

    The unbelievably bright shine of Mitzi Gaynor -and that pink dress!

    Some interesting food combinations here. Mint Cracknel, cripes Andrew, that’s something I’d long forgotten about:) How about Golden Cup and Toffos? And Cherry Ripes from Down Under.

  23. Elissa on 8th March 2010 at 9:31 pm permalink

    It is the most beautiful morning here….the sun is back! Not a cloud in the sky.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGRdaRujDKg&feature=related

    How are you feeling this evening Helen? A little better I hope. :)

  24. Elissa on 8th March 2010 at 9:45 pm permalink

    Wow, that was amazing that clip Nick. How clever.

  25. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 9:58 pm permalink

    That was an odd clip I thought. Liked the visuals and the words but the music put me off slightly. In a Kissing with Confidence sort of way.

    Bit better thank you Elissa. Have fallen asleep a few times today though.

  26. Andrew on 8th March 2010 at 10:18 pm permalink

    HB – Kissing with Confidence – SPOT ON ..

    Falling asleep eh .. what potion is it tonight ?

    Tahitian Lady with a swizzle or hot lemon and honey…….??

    Rest well

  27. Elissa on 8th March 2010 at 10:20 pm permalink

    That’s good to hear Helen. I’m picturing you at your desk suddenly falling asleep like you have Narcolepsy…hehe! Feeling a bit tired myself today. I have a really important meeting this morning too so hope I don’t nod off! :D :D

  28. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 10:29 pm permalink

    Ha !!

    I waited till I was home to sleep – though it was touch and go about 3pm…

    Saw some great sun setting photo opportunities on the way home but alas didn’t have my camera. Plus I was driving. Not the best idea. :)

  29. Juliewoo on 8th March 2010 at 10:38 pm permalink

    question. why do humans have the ability to cry and the ability to laugh? what purpose does that serve in the big scheme of it all….

    :-)

    just a random thought that bobs through my little brain from time to time..

  30. Nick on 8th March 2010 at 11:27 pm permalink

    Found the clip here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/jarviscocker/
    Great live performance.
    Great guitar sounds.
    Great beard…

  31. Helen on 8th March 2010 at 11:32 pm permalink

    Aha… I’m fond of a bit of Jarvis. Funny guy and great pop songs. Babies is a favourite.

    Something which struck me moments ago as I was about to switch off – the symbol next to your name on the website. It is a leaf or a bird ?

    May have to read your answer in the morning. Sleep is beckoning .:)

    Night.

    Night again…

  33. Juliewoo on 8th March 2010 at 11:40 pm permalink

    sorting through some of my pics and found this, reminds me of Liquorish Allsorts, nature is truly amazing!

  34. Nick on 8th March 2010 at 11:46 pm permalink

    It’s a bird, a leaf or a fish…

  35. Tex on 8th March 2010 at 11:52 pm permalink

    …Could also be a jalapeno.

  36. thelonehydrangea on 9th March 2010 at 5:56 am permalink

    Pam, you’ve reminded me that I haven’t one of those for years. Maybe it’s time. We do have very good junk food here. It’s too good. Very good food in general. Just ask my thighs.

    Thinking of chocolate bars has also reminded me of that perfectly dreadful email that is going around about the merged chocolate bars, if anyone has seen that one. Wicked but amusing. Clever.

  37. thelonehydrangea on 9th March 2010 at 6:20 am permalink

    Have just been reading the news and have been cured of wanting to go to the loo ever again. Thought I’d leave something nice here for you lot to wake up to ;)

  38. Helen on 9th March 2010 at 7:43 am permalink

    Thank you. :)

  39. Juliewoo on 9th March 2010 at 8:49 am permalink

    Nick, have I done something wrong on here as my comments are suddenly all awaiting moderation? Please let me know if I have said/done something inappropriate?

    Thanks!

  40. zbd on 9th March 2010 at 11:43 am permalink

    its a planleaffishbird…
    today I am looking through the ROUND window..

  41. Nick on 9th March 2010 at 1:07 pm permalink

    Not at all, Julie. Don’t know what was happening there. And don’t worry, if you had said anything inappropriate I would just leave it as your inappropriate post for us to see if it was inappropriate. If it was really awful I might delete it. If it was negative and ego based it wouldn’t read it anyway…

    happy face windows :-)

  42. Helen on 9th March 2010 at 1:19 pm permalink

    What sometimes happens is – if you spell your name or email incorrectly it won’t pick up that you are who you are. That’s happened to me before :)

  43. Juliewoo on 9th March 2010 at 1:21 pm permalink

    phew! thank you! :-)

  44. zbd on 9th March 2010 at 1:39 pm permalink

    Im surrounded by egos at the moment.. such fun watching them bump into each other and try and shine brighter..Me Me Me…. Loook at me… doesnt my bum look big?

    Happy smiling face windows :D

  45. Helen on 9th March 2010 at 1:46 pm permalink

    You always bring a smiley face to my window Deborah !
    :)

  46. gary on 9th March 2010 at 1:48 pm permalink

    is it true that the eyes are the window to the soul ??

  47. Juliewoo on 9th March 2010 at 1:58 pm permalink

    Ego’s when they get out of hand..

    While at sail a Captain of a steamship hears a distress call. Captain, Captain you must alter your course by 10 degrees, you are in danger of collision. To which the Captain replies, I am a mighty steamship sound and sturdy, I say to you, if my path indangers you, you should alter your course, I will not. The voice once again cries out captain captain you must take heed and change your course by twenty degress, you are in danger of collision. The crusty ol capatin replies, I am at sail and will not change. I am a might and fierce steam ship. The voice replies, yes you are a steamship, but I am a lighthouse

    there is a moral in there me thinks!
