In case you need an antidote to something serious that is happening in your life, like tax returns, or a sore back (I have both, probably related) here is the Potato Song.
We often take so much for granted without even thinking - thank you for reminding me of the many ways I love potatoes. I shall call you Saint Kate, protector of the simple spud.
Yes "Er" indeed, never mind, I'm Saint Alden sometimes, master of the naff comment.
When I was a young fella growing up in Christchurch we used to have fires in the backyard (You could do this on the old style quarter acre sections) and bake spuds in the embers - wonderful. If you tried to do this today in suburbia the Fire Brigade, OSH and the Social Welfare Child Protection Unit would all arrive and you might end up in court!
Potatoes are certainly one of The Lord God's best inventions - along with Tetley's beer, underpants and soil. Was that potato playing the guitar your avatar Kate?
Love it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad someone did Louise.

I dunno what Naff means Alden. But I always enjoy your comments. I just don't feel very saintly at the moment, being behind on my tax return.

ReplyDeleteYes! It WAS me YP! Ypu are so insightful.
DeleteI love your priorities.
Don't know what I'd do without MY underpants either.
That is so awful it's brilliant. I challenge anyone not to smile when they watch it (even if deep down they feel they should grimace and cringe).
ReplyDeleteHa! Geeb. I try always to see beyond the terrible to the beauty beyond.
DeleteThis is just such crazy fun! You made me smile! Thank you !
ReplyDeleteIt is my pleasure Zippi. Pleased to make you smile. And may I welcome you to TLVD!
