I have words to explain how much I love this clip
På begäran III
Today metaphorically looks like this. Last night the rain was pouring down but today it's very warm, bright and sunny. I see this as a good sign. Happy Tuesday to you all.

now we go outside
this season's colours
fellow walkers in the sponsored walk by Dogtrust
well padded boys all lined up
a fetching, fetching tree

Rumble in teh Jumble
Happy Monday to you ALL, I hope you've had a wonderful weekend.
Here's the pictorial evidence from Them Elks's trip to an excellent jumble sale. It was pretty full of hipster bargain-hunters but we still managed to find some fab. finds before retreating to a traditional Sunday coffee and cake ritual:
Bob for a mere pound & the scarf for free!
a small charming purse,
perfect for them embroidery needles & scissors

Thank you kindly for all the sweet well wishes of late!
The lurgy is now gone and I'm sure it's all thanks to you.
Let us now continue with some more lessons in the most beautiful tongue in the world:
here we practice phrases of politeness mixed with genuine concern
(and let us not forget the importance of a two handed handshake)

Circus Watch
The last couple of days I have been keeping a fairly horisontal profile due to a weird lurgy consisting of fever and a sense of total weakness. I'm feeling better today so I'm going to try blog a little before I need to lie down again...
Ladies and Gentlemen, hold on to your hats!
Here comes Them Elks thrilling tale the Circus has Turned up the Park!
It was dark, rainy & pretty miserable
but that didn't stop the Big Top being raised.
No lions, tigers nor bears but they seem to have a few very pretty horses
night time = show time!

Postal goodness that defied the postal strike
just look at these guys!
Yes, the everelasting postal strike is still on but one day last week the postman turned up with a big parcel stuffed with more packages inside. Blessed be the Generous Hillbilly -one swell guy if there ever was one!!

Them Elks goes Linguaphone (without the cassettes)
A few weeks ago, after a little procrastinating (read just under 10 years or so...), I decided to re-join my old church choir. One of the many good things about this is that we practice in the church hall where there is a giant of a bookshelf with all sorts of literature. In this giant one often finds great stuff and I'd thought you might like this gem. Mainly because I have a feeling you too long to expand your knowledges, yes? Well good, here is your chance to learn Swedish, as spoken in 1954, for free!
Our course book bearing the warm welcoming title Swedish for Foreigners. (Yes, ALL of the book is in Swedish but you're probably be smart enough you'll pick it up in no time)
by Gunnar Rosen
third edition
illustrator: Bertil Nilsson
we start out fairly easy
yes, yes, do click on the picture for larger images
please don't strain your eyes to read the small text
-it will make you frown and you might get wrinkles!
well surely that wasn't too hard? good!
now follows a small text explaining how easy the Swedish language is to learn:
Alrighty then, any questions, so far?

A Very Lovely Day Indeed
Hooray for the sweet Kerry & Paul who got married this weekend!
As you can see it was truly a charming and wonderful do:
By now they should be on the other side of the world.
Arm in arm, dressed in flower-garlands, soft sea breeze in the hair and have either a well made cocktail or a uke-le-le in their hands...Happy Honey Moon you two!
cute and happy,
happy and cute
the first dance - Lindy Hop to the Smiths
(also accompanied by spontaneous northern male choir ! )
twilight in the smoker's corner
and then it was CAKE time
boys moshing in their finery
...and finally, the technicolour petticoat!

Goodbye September, you were very sunny and, at least in parts, delightful. Anyhoo, I do have high hopes for October. I predict colour and clear crisp air. I predict GOOD news, tunes and plenty of swell opportunities. And yes, yes this prediction includes you too.
