The World Health Organization has announced

Dogs can’t get Covid-19, and as there’s no doubt

All the quarantined dogs can now be released

So, let’s be perfectly clear, WHO let the dogs out

SELF ISOLATION HAS BECOME A NECESSITY

 

Self Isolation has become a necessity

As there’s a pandemic on the loose

Some people find isolation frightening

But not me because I’m a recluse

I HAVE JUST HEARD THE LATEST NEWS

 

I have just heard the latest news

About the Pandemic, on the BBC

And I was shocked, an epidemic

Of wandering Pandas terrify me

WE HAVE FOUND A GREEN SOLUTION

 

Since the panic buying caper

We have started using

Plant leaves as toilet paper

They're not our plants,

But they are very useful

And we returned the pots

I must say that to be truthful

To the neighbour's patio

Once the pots were full

A MESSAGE TO SNOWFLAKES

Your grandparents

And great grandparents

Were asked to go to war

You are being asked

To sit on your sofas

So not exactly a chore

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – TRUE GRIT (1969)

 

“True Grit” is a Western drama, screenplay written by Marguerite Roberts from the novel by Charles Portis and Directed by Henry Hathaway.

 

The story of a stubborn 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) who sets out to capture hired hand Tom Chaney (Jeff Corey), following the murder of her father.

After settling her father’s affairs, she enlists the help of tough, drunken, hard-nosed U.S. Marshal Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn (John Wayne) to track down her father's murderer in Indian Territory.

Despite his shortcomings Mattie identifies him as a man with “true grit,” and insists on accompanying Cogburn and they are joined by an arrogant self-important Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf (Glen Campbell) who also has a claim on Cheyney for murdering a Senator.

It becomes apparent that their fugitive has taken up with a gang of outlaws led by Lucky Ned Pepper (Robert Duvall) and the unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has their “grit” truly tested.

Jeremy Slate, Dennis Hopper, Alfred Ryder, John Fiedler and the wonderful Strother Martin among others make up a very able supporting cast.

BEST BEFORE 1980 # 2

 

I decided to Vacuum the house

But for some reason it wasn’t working

I was stumped, it was very frustrating 

Then I noticed that it wasn’t plugged in
