I love the little things.

Everything about them is amazing.
And even quite tragic if you consider how much of a slave they are to their ultra hyper metabolism.

Paddington?

I’ve seen this clip, and read about the filming.

It’s kind of amazing…

Queen Elizabeth offered to do it, at the age of 96, just two months before she passed away.

She even acted her part without the bear actually being there to talk to.

A member of her staff may or may not have sat in the other chair.

Much as I’d hoped that was really Paddington, he was added by CGI afterwards.

I love that the Queen could still be so whimsical, at 96, after 70 years on the throne.

Axel Hacke, I know him well… not personally, but he is a writer for”Sueddeutsche Zeitung” and “Sueddeutsche Zeitung Magazin”.

It’s a little dark to me for some reason.
I still like it.

So, I tried four times to post the answer, but for some crazy reason, the image wouldn’t materialize. This is the first time I’ve had that problem.

It’s an easy puzzle, though, so no one should have too much difficulty finding the goat.

Not a Mountain Goat in puzzle
What’s shown in the puzzle is a mountain “sheep” not a mountain goat. A mountain goats horns are almost vertical as in the picture below. A mountain sheep’s horns are curved and might curve outside the sides of its ears, like what’s in the puzzle.

First two are songs I grew up with. 9 to 5 came a bit later, but still a favorite.

As usual, the nearsighted lovers are a triumph.

I have been thinking about Catholic school. The penguin and the nun is an easy connection, but what to match with the girl in the plaid skirt? Or the naughty boys in ties and sports jackets?

Fine tunes today. I’ve said it before, either here or on GC, and it bears repeating. Dolly Parton is a very impressive lady. She can sing, act, write (words and music), and be funny. In the language of baseball, she’s a five-tool player.

And she’s very active otherwise, too.
In a good sense.

Those are bunny ears after all…

And if you manage to smuggle in some finely chopped Scotch bonnet peppers – go ahead.

Hot peppers with chocolate work well – it was just a thought.

Another great set of nearsighted lovers.

The elephant, of course, went on to record that well known ballad “Tanks For The Memories”.

The bunny prefers “I Only Have Ears For You”.

As for the worm…. it reminds me of something I shouldn’t admit to here.

But heck, it’s been so many years…

….

I want to preface this tale by saying this was before the word “hippies” existed, in a year of great change and experimentation.

I was what was considered a sort of “bohemian” college student.

By the time “hippies” arrived, I had already flunked “Drug Culture 101”, and never did pass.

I’d smoked weed a few times, but i wasn’t too impressed.

Psychedelics were brand new, and still legal.

The only one I’ve ever tried was LSD, and that one time was enough to put me off recreational drugs ever since.

So those of you who think I must “still” be a pot-smoking hippie are wrong. LOL

Anyway, I was temporarily staying with friends, while apartment hunting.

One had bought some of that newfangled acid, and we decided to take it at a party.

Baaad decision.

It was terrifying. That night lasted days in my mind.

In the morning, I thought I was fine.

My friends were sitting at the table eating leftover spaghetti for breakfast, and somebody handed me a plateful.

I saw a whole plate of wriggling white worms, and ran away crying.

It was months before I could look at spaghetti without thinking of it, and start eating it again.

End of my druggie life.

Can your daughter stick around for a while?

If not, I hope you can get other help.

Please don’t try to take on too much by yourself!

All the best to you both. Diagnoses like these are hard both on the person affected and on their loved ones/caretakers. Remember to care for yourself so that you’ll have the energy and bandwidth to care for him.

Hugs and good vibes.
