It is estimated there are 7 Billion people alive on earth, I would like to think there is only one of me. Alas if only that were true. I think we are not unique and whilst we are products of our DNA, it does not make me the only one of me. For all my belief that I have something new and unique to say by blogging, I am not unique and my words are not new......they are just the random words mixed up in my head and then re-arranged into sentences posted on to this blog to make it sound like me.
....from the heat of the blue nile with their downtown lights we go to the cold of snow patrol and the brightness of 100 million suns....
I did once read that Snow Patrols - Chasing Cars was the most played sound track in movies/tv/adverts, not sure if that is correct but it certainly put Snow Patrol on the map.
Snow Patrol hit my radar with a late night niche TV program Nylon ~ New York/London. The usual rules.... you hear a song and wonder wow... but Nylon was before the days of Shazam....but after a little bit of research and low and behold I was hooked.
And so for my 46th birthday I was given a copy of 100 Million Suns and the following day 10th January 2009, I slipped the DvD into the car radio and on a long drive home after a fab night out...up popped this song.... it is in fact 3 songs wrapped into one....
...ach erm.... I mean strimming..... strimming can get quite messy.....
A cautionary tale if you please.......
When it comes to strimming the under growth, take my advice and check for land mines first..... when I say land mines, I don't mean land mines as in IED's but land mines as in, what has been left behind after a hearty meal unloaded by a .......fox/cat/rabbit/badger/dog/other creature {delete as appropriate}
There I was, strimming with gusto when suddenly .....what's that smell I wondered..... quite why I had to wonder is beyond me...... sh1t smells like sh1t what ever creature exuded it.....
The thing about strimmers is they act like a food blender on the undergrowth, but for some strange reason the designers of strimmers have them so the now blended under growth heads in the direction of the user.... that user being me..... who was covered head to foot in not just blended under growth, but the animal waste that came with it..... I was wearing protective head gear, with gauze face mask, so I at least managed to sieve most of it before I got a face full.....
