And context

 There are only tow things these days I decry; but they seem to be even worse fatal pandemic than ever.

Firstly being quoted incorrectly - sounds a bit egotistical, but when no one can listen much it just takes a bit of listening, to get the actual sense, so as not to entirely discombobulate. And then there is 'context'  - well i do have rather a lot of that  - maybe good job, too. Context, do you really have to say prior to every joke in the UK these days "i am a lifetime pondering pros and cons and coming out pro pacifist ..." And all my context other i know is jolly fine.

The other is this simply fatal personal comments at everything. Even the Grasshopper. He said he had a big brain. "tone" even if they don't use such simple words, and cannot listen "you wish what you say you wish well it will be hard so no time at the mo for pleasantries....anyway we did that.... and if even the young counsellor is not going to reply to our heartfelt plea to co-mentor with not today sorry busy... well you better know there are only two sides here and its obvious who is on yours..and would read your digital outbound if you managed to answer just a  few serious questions."

But no. Is it that there is a connected consciousness of the universe and everyone is aware that the great majority wo state on profiles and the like and even face to face ohh how they love to be out in nature, are indeed speaking only for effect. Otherwise known as lying.

Indeed philosophical supposition can fairly be made that is sadly so - sad for them. If one spends at east a third  of the last 14 months minus a few midwniter down here it's not possible to be ranty. Cheeky sedition is my playful hobby at times.   But then also if  during midwinter and still now, one is the only one who brought together half a dozen tough no nonsense women who had never met and made something lovely work for their children one had also never met and before and love  there was lovely love all around including the bit of love where you have to get tough-love...and it all works so absurdly well...  i hardly think one has the fractious soul that they all accuse you of just cos you need to get to the point sometimes...

Perhaps if they actually spent their time 'in' nature too they may be less cynical and indeed even enjoy some of it even through a screen - this one for instance anyone can go to - whilst down a windy road its not even a long waddle for the chubbies. And yet no one ever i mean five different people at most over a whole 14 months. 

My internal setting, only comes from this. All day many a day.

yes that seditious lilt, can be turned off days on end, in fact i have no idea what 'works' because neither approach do. But all i do know have your strategies figured. It may be dead but it is a splendid time saving - those several wasted hours on yet another face to face Nature saviour who cannot write or even call when she asks that. Its only one minute in that bath when at least five in even the shower what with all that pesky floor cleaning after. 

And yes, waste not one second even going into the shade with your little (even more useless)  machine  - you figure if these photos can be seen as i cannot see a thing. I only want to watch every second of all those dragonflies and those very dark butterflies oo yes one on the lid edge now...

Now, time to open this out. One other persons image is worth retrieving from the archive. It could be said she is the only person who has indeed inspired. Well face to face. Just two weeks ago, and in fact i have to do as tribute to her what i said i would, n fact have been saying for some years. Art...dilettante word yes, but i have a rather good collection of poignant nature and connected themes art i have  worked on off and on for years. I did tell her she is worthy of seeing it. But that's another flippin load of screen stuff. ... we shall see.

But lest i forget in fact i forget which site i am in and what was said on which. That Bertrand equation. She alone seems to prove it. She pulls no punches tells it like it is and has genuine overheads and a reputation to need, or they go bust. Yet she clearly got to the proscribed age and  as i said "love ...you mean it and your smile is a real one too, lead chariot for you come the day.... no i shall not be handing out pitchforks but as long as figurative , good idea... you are example to them all though...just cos you're sixty something doesn't mean you have to die at 50..."
