Hello campers!

Is there a Chinese year of the Dandelions? There should be. Dandelions are everywhere. Here's me stuffing a dandelion into Axle's nose. He wasn't very impressed with it. You can't eat it, or lick it, or smell it really.

"And stop blowing it into my face!" 

 "Sorry Axle, I thought it would be fun!"

"Where's the fun bit? They got stuck in my eyes and all over my nose!"

"Yes, on reflection, I can see that that wasn't really any fun for you, sorry Axle!"

It's just so tempting though, with all those fluffy dandelions everywhere. They are just now coming into their round puffy heads. Such fun to blow around. When Axle was a puppy, he used to chase things like that. I guess he's far too grown up for that sort of thing now.

Actually, talking of dandelions: I have what I call my 'Dandelion Test' for my camera. Dandelions, (apart from this year when there's zillions of them) are usually what I consider to be one of the dullest weeds around. So, I use them to test my cameras - since I've had a few over the years. Now, if my new camera can make dandelions look good, then I know it's fabulous. So, now you see why I call it the dandelion test. My new camera must be awesome, going by these pictures.

I need a trip to a hairdresser soon. Yet; dare I risk it again here. I went to get some highlights earlier and came back with grey highlights! I honestly looked like an old woman! I wouldn't have minded but my french is quite good now, too. So, it can't have been the language barrier. Then, I noticed looking around the shopping centers, that this is the colour of hair highlights all the women were wearing! That's a bit odd, isn't it? So, I'm left to my own devices again with my hair. I'm sure I have deviant hair. I like henna mostly, because it's natural; yet, sometimes it 'takes' on my hair, and other times it doesn't. Can hair have a mind of its own? I'm sure you ladies know just what I mean! Very odd behaviour for hair.

So, finish on a song. But you can't hear it, so it's wasted on you  

So, instead I'll finish on some fish. We found a lovely garden center the other day, with all these lovely fish. Nice big tanks, too. My husband was 'oooing' and 'aaaaing' since he's always wanted a tropical fish tank, with some fish of course. Of course, it was a little bit spoilt by being next to a sex shop! Now, that's just not 'British' is it? A sex shop! In your local high-street? Can you imagine it, next to your local supermarket like Tesco's or Sainsbury's?

"I'm just going off to buy some tea-bags and a peep-hole bra dear! "  That's Europe for you. Maybe I've led a far too sheltered life!

Might be getting my new car soon. If a few pigs are flying west in the sky. No, actually I really think I am getting a car. So if you see a youngish-woman with either grey hair or odd coloured hair driving on the wrong side of the road, that's probably ME! 

Enjoy your spring. www.moorethanart.com  www.boundlessgallery.com
