JUST NONSENSE...

I just love this song from Dumbo, my sister and I had some Disney stories on records when we were kids. On one side was the song from the movie and on the other side was the story. We just loved this song and played it stukkend!! Check it out…
It's the song the Crow's sing before giving Dumbo a "magic" feather to help him fly. We would mime to the song and act it out and pee ourselves laughing!!


Crow 1: “Did you ever see an elephant fly?”

Crow 2: “Hee – well I seen a horse-fly….”

Crow 3: “I seen a dragon-fly…”

Crow 2: “I seen a house-fly….”

Crow 1: “Yea I seen all ‘at too. I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, I saw a needle that winked it's eye. But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly. “

Crow 3: “What you say boy?”

Crow 1: “I said when I see an elephant fly!!”

Crow 3: “I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring, I saw a polka-dot railroad tie. But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly."

Crow 2: “I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck, and they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck”

Crow 1: “I didn't see that, I only heard. But just to be sociable I'll take your word “

Crow 3: “I heard a fireside chat”

Crow 1: “I saw a baseball bat”

Crow 2: “And I just laughed till I thought I'd die!!”

All Crows: “But I'd be done see'n about everything when I see an elephant flyyyyyyyy. When I see an elephant FLY!!!!!"







Oh, brings back such memories!!!

WEEKEND TITBITS AND OTHER BITS TOO…

Not a bad weekend – aside from a difficult teenager who I was tempted to shove into a box and ship off the North-pole!!! I had a pleasant weekend - regardless.
I went and did a bit of shopping and bought a new duvet cover set – beautiful oranges and reds and of course – new curtains to match!! It looks stunning!!! – I will try to put pictures up to show you. I also got a new kettle, toaster and snack-which (spelling??) machine. What a bargain – all in one box for a really good price, and yes we did save cause we first checked the prices of the single items to see if we were being suckered.
Last night my sister came over for some pizza and some girly bonding – guys, if you are reading, this is where you should close off now. We did pedicures and manicures and hair!! It was really good fun too. Thanks for a lovely evening sis!! Love you.
I also went to church and spent a bit of time having tea with my folks and we giggled about old movies.
My hubby went fishing and promptly buggered off with my wallet!! So the boys and I had no cash available. I wanted to get us some KFC and a movie on Saturday night – but alas, no money!! We ended up eating popcorn and chips and other nibblies while watching a movie on TV – blegh!!


My parents have bought themselves a motorbike.


It’s to go traveling on – I swear there was some kind of mental telepathy there between Terri and them. Anyway I don’t know yet what kind of bike it is but as soon as I can I will put pictures up for you all to see. I know it is something my dad has always wanted to do.

And then this morning on *Morning Live – anyone watch that this morning?? They interviewed a guy named Tom Eaton (I think, if memory serves me well) and he has apparently written a very funny book called “The De Villiers Code” I think he is very clever and from what they discussed it sounds really good. I think I would like to read this one. It contains murder, mystery, and all that, but laced with all the South African lingo and humour too. This is his first book to be published and I think he will do very well.

Oh and on Friday I took these pictures form my office window, it was cold on Friday, today is warmer - and we are promised 3 days of warmer temperatures.





















So, that’s about all from my weekend, Hope you all had a god weekend too.
Have a good Monday!!

* Morning Live - a morning breakfast show containing news, weather and various interveiws or coverage of other events in South Africa.

SOME SHOTS FOR THE WEEKEND...

This is my guitar....

I can't play yet - I haven't been practicing much lately, but it makes for a good subject to photograph don't you think?

I will learn to play - I want to learn to play, and play well!! I just need to get some lessons is all.

Ok last one.....

Anyhoo - you all have a super weekend!! I will be back on Monday!!!

BYE...

TELEPHOPS

I used to do reception and switchboard here at work - when I started here 8 years ago. And because of this I am often asked to help out on the switchboard. Sometimes if the receptionist just needs to go to the bathroom quickly, or make coffee she diverts all calls to me and I can answer the switchboard from my office.
Now most of you know that I find it very funny when someone says something and you hear something completely different, and it doesn't make any sense. Like if I say "Red Means?" and you hear "Red Beans?" - it can be quite puzzling hey?

Ok, so here's what happened:

The receptionist, Sonika (thats her name), put the switchboard on divert to my office so she could go and make coffee quickly. Another man who is a manager here phoned reception and naturally came through to me, realising the switchboard was diverted he said:
"It sounds like your in the toilet or something"
I giggled and said "Pardon?"
So he repeated his statement, and I giggled again - trying very hard not to laugh out loud, and said "no?". He then said, "Ok..... well ask her to phone me when she gets back." And suddenly I clicked! He had been asking "Is Sonika in the toilet or something?" and there I am laughing at him and making no sense what so ever. When he hung up the phone I really laughed! I felt so silly, later I went to him and explained what I had heard and he said that he also then understood why I was laughing when he asked me something so simple. We both laughed about it and then there was an awkward silence - so I went back to my office.

Maybe it will teach him to speak clearly and not mumble so much....
