Silly Socks on Friday

I saw this little weblink on the Walrus ' wallow and it set off a train of thought which is quite radical, so ignore it if you wish / at your peril, heh,heh!
It caught my interest & I immediately made to try it & then hesitated: .... Walrus is witty, clever, cosmopolitan, wise & has 100 friends; his blog is worth $12.00 ... I am naive, unpolished and only have 3 friends ... what will my blog be worth ...12 cents?

My train of thought went this way: this is how Satan works ... he senses vanity and pride and a desire for re-assurance and exploits it: you could just be wiser / more entertaining than you thought... don't be chicken....
It has been a recurring thought, last thunk when I saw, at first glance, an attractive woman of about 40. Closer examination revealed those tight bubble cheekbones that suggest botox treatment.   That's when I thought about vanity & how Satan sucks people in through vanity. Botox is definitely a vanity thing. I don't believe vanity is ever a good thing.

It's not easy though,is it - I still have a sneaky need  to know ...
Vade retro, Satanas

First of September is my Mum's birthday - she would have been 95 yesterday (today if you are north of Nairobi)
It is also celebrated as the start of Spring, south of that place - although the grass is riz & I know where the boidie is (on the branch of the tree above trilling &twittering its joy!)
We also received news of the birth of Luke who is the 20th grand child of my siblings (what is the collective for nephews & nieces?)
My sweetpeas are slow, but show promise, I cycled 15 kms yesterday and reduced my food intake, .... I intend to shed bulk and celebrate my arrival at closer to 60 than 50 in sleek & admired form.
The sun promises to shine, so we have been told in this little slowly decaying outpost in the South Pacific (get away, you depressing note)

There is a great deal to be thankful for - this applies to readers of this blathering blog.
Seize the day - paint your world in joyous colours, embrace your loved ones!!
