Let us ride together, Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Anonymous riding song.
English Rider...Well, not sure what color your hair is now but after a bad week I feel like doing something nutty and since the video had a character with spectacular fuchsia hair, I figured a Kool Aid hair dye job might be in the offing. I guess a drink would be a better idea. Maybe the Muppets can be hired out as bartenders for Happy Hour.
I really hated to laugh at your expense, but I couldn't help myself. However, you have my genuine sympathy for your wretched week. Maybe some of that stuff that tastes like dirt would help. Not too much, though.
My bad. I thought I would watch this video just before going to bed. It got my heart racing and now I am wide awake. Aaarrgg. Even hubby is talking double time now. We are laughing though. I am sorry to hear how harried your week has been. You are one of my favorite people and I really like reading your posts. Have an awesome and restful weekend.
I originally sought out the "Windmills of your mind" song for a different reason. I started with Dusty Springfield, then Sting. You know you're in trouble when the Muppets make the most sense:)
p.s. I rode. I am renewed. Thanks for all the good thoughts.
If I were a tree, I would be a London Plane. I am gregarious but enjoy solitude. I am English in my heart and soul, but still have room for other nations. I have lived in six countries and picked up a French husband along the way. We have a wonderful, kind, strong-minded daughter who has become a "Human of whom to be proud". I am a magnet for the lost. I foster collies (and collie cousins and the occasional, accidental, cat or crow). Those I have saved have saved me in return. I notice the world around me and often talk to strangers. Traveling alone is interesting, liberating and fulfilling. I am good at most things that I undertake but have few formal qualifications. I am able to have and treasure friends with whom I disagree about almost everything. My life is not over. Who knows where I am headed?
A ponyism is one of Life's Truths perceived from the perspective of an Effing Pony: - Life's a Bluff! - Those who aspire to make their mark on this world must expect to scrape some skin on the walls of experience. - The greatest value of money is as the currency of Hope.
- To be an Ass or an Asset, that is the question?
-Selective memory is but the first step on the path to magical thinking.
-Not all Baggage comes with wheels. -When your hero is a horse you are less likely to be disappointed than were he a human.
-Unfortunately, great wealth does not always equate with class.
-A dick, surrounded by puppies, remains a dick. -What better antidote to evil than kittens? -Any time you have something heavy, ready to drop, your cat will sit right below and look up at you.
I often have days like that. I just wish I could run that fast.
ReplyDeleteSteve, this week has burned me to a crisp.
ReplyDeleteDid you dye your hair fuchsia, too? I'm out of breath after watching that video...you must have had a hell of a week. Enjoy your weekend~!
ReplyDeleteThat was tiring just to watch!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hour, You like my hair?
ReplyDeleteDi, I'm glad the Muppets produced this. It says it all. I couldn't even muster any "Label" words.

ReplyDeleteThat's my week summed up too!
ReplyDelete5:15 pm riding lesson scheduled. Redemption is nigh!
ReplyDeleteor niegh or whinney or snort...Whatever happens, I'm going out with my boots on.
Haven't heard that song in years, and the video surely does put a different "spin" on it for me! *lol*
ReplyDeleteMy mind tends to windmill some nights when I am trying to go to sleep.
Bet the riding lesson conquers your Don Quixote before you "tilt." Hugs.

ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised?
ReplyDeleteI thought of your loud silence frequently today and wished you well from afar.
I hope that next week will be better.
Bises,
I originally sought out the "Windmills of your mind" song for a different reason. I started with Dusty Springfield, then Sting. You know you're in trouble when the Muppets make the most sense:)

Hilarious! You can't believe how many times I've thought that I'd like to post the original sometime at my blog...and now I'm sure to do it!
ReplyDeleteThe clip was "running" while I wrote the above and I finished to watch the ending when he ran into the windmill. Really cracked me up!
I think my brain has hair that matches.
ReplyDelete@eloh, nice to see you around again.
