Song Lyric Sunday: Human Connections.

It’s Sunday again and time for Jim Adam’s Song Lyric Sunday, today is October 17, 2021. The prompt this week is – Communication, Information, News, Telephone suggested by Di of pensitivity101. Brilliant choice Di.

I picked Telemiscommunications because it is about s couple trying to share news, information and to communicate on the phone….and due to the state of all our lives today failing!

“Telemiscommunications” is a song by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5 and English singer Imogen Heap. It was released on March 12, 2013 by Ultra Records as the fifth single from Deadmau5’s sixth studio album Album Title Goes Here and the seventh single from Imogen Heap’s fourth studio album Sparks. The song is an electropop ballad whose lyrics depict a dysfunctional phone conversation.

Work on “Telemiscommunications” began after Deadmau5 emailed Heap. According to Deadmau5, the two never met in person, and only sent two emails and made two phone calls to one another during the making of the song.

Below is the explanatory video of how the song and video were put together. I really think it so interesting.

“Telemiscommunications”
(with Imogen Heap)

Hey babe, how’s your day been?
No, you first..
Oh.. what? The delay’s quite bad
Yeah, sorry..
Where are you, I can’t really hear you
A taxi distracted..
Anyway you.. You were saying?
Wait, uh..
Now they’re waving me over
Can I call you back?
Yeah, everything’s fine
Why am I.. I don’t know why
I probably just need sleep
It’s been a busy week
Sorry, I’ve got to go
So, ok.. bye

This is just so unlike us
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus tele-miscommunications

Plan foiled
The sirens pass by
Kids screaming
The longest public announcement
Reach check-in, finally got through
Running for a flight, shoes off
You’re calling voicemail
In joke, group laughter
Closing scenes in a meeting
Angel (angel) why didn’t you tell me?
One second, someone needs directions
Can’t you see I’m on the phone?

This is just so unlike us
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus tele-miscommunications

So unlike us (unlike us)
Cut back to horizontalisms
If we could win just one small touch
Contact versus tele-miscommunications

Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
(kiss kiss)
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?
(kiss kiss)
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Did I tell you I loved you today?

Mary and Jo part 6

To day is the sixth day of Advent, leading up to Christmas. I would like to re-run my take on the Nativity story. I first wrote this in 2011, in the style of prosetry.

Mares finished her bath, she wrapped herself in the fluffy warm towel she looked at her bump remembering the angels words and she felt trapped.

Sitting down she started to cry wiping her eyes and thinking of those words it was really no surprise. It was rather scary to have your life mapped out. Feeling a sudden shiver, for Jo, shecalled out.
Rushing in and seeing Mares sitting on the floor he throws his arms around her and says “come on my love never worry we have each other and that is for sure.”
Out on the hills surrounding the town some shepherds were out in their four by fours doing the rounds, shepherds busy counting their sheep.
Suddenly shocked by a blinding light and huge blast of sound. None of them really knew what to do they were scared out of their wits when a beautiful woman floated into view!
She was a beauty, a stunner it’s true and she had a fabulous smile as she announced “I have a message for you.” They all of them knelt on the cold grass and marvelled as she hovered above them, each wondering how it all came to pass. A heavenly light filled the night a couple took photos, well it was an extraordinary sight. The beautiful angel asked if they has spotted the star that shone up in the sky over hotel Delph in the town near by.

The angel looked down at shepherds and saw only fear so she descended and asked them, gently, to come near. She told them that she had a message for them. The son of God was to be born in Bethlehem. It was to be a virgin birth and the child would save all of them. Not only them but all mankind too, they were all very excited but still at a lost as what to do.Be at peace gentle men you will be welcome to go and see the virgin and baby who will ultimately set you all free. This little child has left heaven and all it’s favour to come down to harsh evil world by way of a poor woman’s labour.
Once she was happy the shepherds had understood she blessed them and then to their despair she disappeared and left them for good. They all sat around discussing the sights of the night in fact they were still there at fist light.
Shall we go and see then, one of them enquired. Yes said the others it sounds like a visit and present is what’s required.
Back at the hotel Jo made sure Mares had cheered up and he had bought her favourite hot chocolate in a cup. Magi.com were still on their plane happy that they had given Herod.com the slip again.

Ruby’s Washing Machine.

Ruby sleeping happily

She has a pressie from us you see.

It’s a new washing machine

Too keep her towels and blankets clean.

A funny gift for a beloved dog?

Strange subject for my blog?

I can’t put her things in our machine

Our clothes would no longer be clean.

They would all be covered by blond hair

On my best dress, no that’s not fair.

Her old machine finally broke

So she has a new one, bespoke.

So now Ruby will smell rosey

And sleep on clean bed, with blankets and towels clean and cosy.

We have always had a separate washing machine for Ruby as she moults so much our machine in the kitchen would not last long.

Last week the old machine we keep in the garage for her stuff gave up the ghost. Now Ruby has a newer washing machine than us? How does that work. 💜 Greater love .

If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster

Do join in

Come on in it is nice to sit and have a chat after all the hustle and bustle of the past few days. I can still entertain you all with tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.

If we were having coffee : I would have to say what a sad week this has been in the music and entertaining world . Both David Bowie and Alan Rickman dying of cancer at the age of 69yrs with just a few days between them.

David Bowie was a huge influence and icon to me in my youth and still was up until his death. His music, clothes, lyrics are what have coloured many decades of my life. Enough has been said about him to fill several books so I shall let his music speak for him!

He was my hero.

Alan Rickman a wonderful actor who went from stage to screen, Shakespeare to the silver screen with ease. Truly,deeply, madly, Die Hard, Harry Potter, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to name but a few!

Truly he was a lovely man.

If we were having coffee : I would offer you another cuppa or a treat of some kind would you like something stronger maybe it is very cold here today we even woke up to snow and the temperature is a very chilly 2c/ 36 F so come on lets get nearer the fire.

What have you been up to this week . I have been very busy shopping and housework. I have been to the new class of Pilates again and this week my friend L came with me she found it very hard but also excellent so we shall both be doing the course together. As for my core class on Saturday …my that is so hard . I think the two months plus I was away from the gym is taking it’s toll. I am hoping for improvement soon!

If we were having coffee: Sadly I still have not got to see Star Wars yet! I don’t think there is much chance of me seeing it this week either. Monday the men are coming to refit one of our kitchen worktops ( they have made a holy mess of the long run under the window and put an abysmal joint by the sink! Right in eye line as you enter the kitchen). Also I have a scan at 11am and so the hubby will have to stay home and make sure all goes well in the kitchen. In the afternoon hubby has to take his mother for a hospital appointment so I shall be on workman supervision if they have not finished the task! Tuesday is a possible but Wednesday is Pilates in the morning and we have a funeral to attend in the afternoon. Thursday we have an upholsterer coming to fix one of our sofas. I am annoyed about this as we have not had these a year yet and the stitching is coming apart on a part of the sofa we hardly ever sit on!! Friday though I am looking forward to as hubby and I are going for a tour of Parliament !! WOOHOO ! a day in London.

So Star Wars has to wait and goodness only knows when I shall get to see The Danish Woman!

If we were having coffee: I would ask you how your blogging has been this week I have been very busy as it is still January and January means Just Jot It January. This is run by LindaGHill it is hard but I do enjoy a challenge!

If we were having Coffee: I would have to say we are all sill waiting patiently for our dear Paul Curran to rejoin us here at the coffee share but until he is well enough and up and running again we shall have to bide our time!

For now everyone Be well and happy!

If we were having Coffee: I would ask you what has been going on in your world this week, has anything deeply affected you, have you need a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on or just needed someone to make you laugh! If yes feel free to talk it out here with us. We will all help if we can.

Lets join everyone here and all the other “IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEES”

If we were having coffee: I would tell you just how much I would like to pretend that I have all the time in world this week but sadly my time is very clipped today. We have the mother in law over most Sundays…. for some reason neither of the husbands two siblings seem to see fit to have her over, so most Sundays, outings and Holidays ( as our American friends say, to me Christmas,Easter and bank holidays fall to us. ) Now we don’t mind but it does get a little stressful when there are other things on the cards that need to be organized!….. Enough I am not moaning just stating facts!

If we were having coffee: I would tell you it has been a strange week as I have been under the weather and spent two days in bed with stomach ache. So it has not been a normal week as I was unable to get out and do most of the usual things that make my week normal. I like normal it makes me feel safe anything else tends to upset my equilibrium!

Now I have found a very interesting new blog, on first sight it appears to be a cookery blog but as the posts started coming to my email I discovered that it is also about a very brave and courageous mother of nine children’s account of her life as a foreigner living and married to a man in Saudi, she has amazed and inspired me, also I love her recipes. Do pop over and check out at Lynz real cooking. here is one of her triumphs …go on let’s all have a piece!

If we were having coffee : I would ask what are the big things that affected you in the news this week. As I said I have been out of it most of the week but what has seeped through to me is that the Number of Muslim women who are taking off for Syria to join isis from this country,the UK , is growing . Well okay if these women feel they need to dessert the life they have grown up with over here and want to give up every last vestige of freedom then fine they make their own beds let them lie in them. But they are taking children with them, some very young children too. Apparently these women are doing this mad exodus without their husbands or families knowing ?

It started with young men being radicalized by youtube and social media, then it was young girls and now women with children are up and fleeing into what I can only see as the unknown. Well if young men , girls and women want to leave here and head out to join isis so be it. Now to my mind their actions do not come without consequences if they go they can never return. Let us face it how could they ever be trusted not to turn against us? That said it is not fair of them to take their children with them, what mother can willing take their children into a war zone, a place where women are treated a cheap chattels and worth less than cattle. It pains me to say this but it is wrong . Read here

Right If we were having coffee : Can I get you a top up or perhaps you would like something stronger.

Now the moment you all adore….. Garden time!!

If We Were Having Coffee – August 16/2015: Guest Post

The New Patient

Welcome to Willow’s weekly coffee and tea garden. My name is Paul; I’ll be your barista today. I’m happy to see you have come for a cuppa and a chat. Please come into the garden and make yourself comfortable. Willow fluffed the cushions on the chairs and set the tables in the garden so we can have a cuppa and chat as we soak up the sun and enjoy the beautiful plants. As usual, I’d be pleased to bring a pot of whatever beverage you prefer – we have a wide range of teas and coffees to satisfy our world-wide readership. Also available is a large selection of spirits for addition to your cuppa or in its place. We can relax amongst the flowers while we discuss the affairs of the week both personal and/or worldwide. How has your week been?

Raw home video of Tianjin Explosions (two explosions)

Things here have been relatively normal this week. The newspaper headlines are about political corruption, housing figures, Islamaphobia, oil prices, all topics that are ongoing and talked to death. Oh, there was the terrible explosion and fire in Tianjin, an industrial port city close to Beijing. So far 85 have been reported dead and hundreds injured. As terrible as it was, it seems from the reports that it was a simple case of illegally storing hazardous chemicals and poor communication that combined to turn a small incident into a disaster. Firefighters reported to a small blaze in a chemical storage facility and sprayed water on chemicals that explode in the presence of water. Things got progressively worse from there. Combine that with the fact the chemicals were stored close to homes – which is illegal in China, they are required by law to be no closer than 1 kilometer to residences – and you have a disaster. Like the other concerns of the week that I listed above, it was a matter of a few individuals trying to benefit personally at the expense others, an age old human behaviour. Nothing really worth discussing there.

Would you like a refill of your cuppa? Perhaps a sweet? So, I ran into a another new dialysis patient this week – Jackie. She is about my age and her husband passed away a few years ago. Para-Transpo has put together recently for our ride back home as she lives in a residence on the way back to my place. Jackie has diabetes as well as kidney failure – not an uncommon combination. She was pretty depressed the other day when I met her and had skipped a few dialysis treatments. As much as one gets upset and sometimes can’t face dialysis (and I have done the same) there is a price to pay. Too much fluid aboard and an overburden of blood waste products as well as an electrolyte imbalance, all add up to a miserable (if not dangerous) existence. That in turn makes you more depressed and less likely to do further treatments. Anyway she was dealing with an infection as well and was on pain killers. She had asked the doctor on call to up her pain prescription (dialysis often aggravates nerve pain) and he had refused. She didn’t elaborate – there could have been very good reasons for his refusal – but she was still upset by that as well.

When I saw her Wednesday night she was particularly down and had an operation scheduled for 6:30 am, the next morning to install a fistula in her arm for dialysis. She said she was too depressed to go. I convinced her that she should go anyway, that it was her depression talking. The anger and dollars it would cost if she didn’t show up when an operating room, a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, nurses, technicians, equipment, etc were all ready and waiting would cause serious repercussions. When I told her that the system cost would likely be greater than $10,000, she was taken aback – we never see cost for health care. Besides which the doctors would be angry and take her less seriously. They are professional and her care would be fine but they would not be as attentive and special requests like getting forms signed and such would be more difficult. She agreed to go. While we were talking outside emergency, the pick-up point, a Para Transpo bus came and the driver – Guy – and I greeted each other by name. Guy said that he wasn’t here for us and went inside to find his customer. Jackie and I both had 11:30 pm pick-up times and it was early – only about 10:50 pm. A few minutes later, as we were talking another Para bus pulled up. This one was driven by Caesar – a Hawaiian from Oahu – who is very outgoing. He walked over and shook hands and told us he was supposed to pick up two others and then come back for us at 11:30. I asked if we could go with him now and save him a trip back and he was fine with that. He loaded his other two customers – one was a wheel chair – as Jackie and I climbed aboard. I greeted the other two – Norm in the wheel chair and Cynthia on foot. I’ve been in dialysis for about 9 years and I’ve known, who is a bit younger than I am, since the beginning. He has gotten progressively worse since I’ve known him going from ambulatory to a walker to a wheel chair and then with one leg amputated and then before he could learn to walk on a prosthetic, the other leg amputated. He is sad these days and doesn’t speak much. He still lives on his own in an apartment that has been modified for his wheel chair.

Jackie was quite taken aback that I knew the drivers and the other patients and she asked if I knew everyone. Ha! I told her that 9 years of dialysis does that. We dropped off Norm and Cynthia while Jackie and I talked. She lives in a privately owned assisted living residence that has 4 persons per room and provides meals. The state pays the owners $1,600 per month for each resident. This is considerably more than I get on disability to live on my own.The residence is 3 stories high and has about 75 people living there. According to her the owner drives an expensive sports car and comes to visit occasionally. I would imagine that this is a profitable enterprise for the owners. As the population ages there are more and more demand for such assisted living facilities and they are being provided by private enterprise. I guess I can’t fault them for making a profit and yet they are charging about 25% more than I get to live on my own – and the tenants live 4 to a room. Jackie got off at her residence at 11:30 – early because we had travelled with the 11 pm customers. A few minutes later I was home and making a coffee while my computer started up.

Presland Residence

On that note, that’s about all we have room for this week, so it’s time to settle in with another cuppa and enjoy the garden. Sweets anyone? Please join me in thanking Willow for her invitation to tea. We are all honored that you dropped by today to visit. I hope you’ve enjoyed yourself and the conversation and please look around at Willow’s other posts while you’re here. Willow is over there serving her guests and chatting it up. Let’s go see how she is today. Have a great week. We look forward to seeing you back here for sweets and beverages of your choice again next week.

If we were having Coffee: Mothering Sunday.

It is If we were having Coffee time again how are you all and what have you been up to this week!

So come in it is lovely to see you all here again. The fires are lit the cushions are plumped up and we have the coffee and tea on the go and the cakes and sweets are all set out. We have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.

Join in !

If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster

If we were having Coffee: I would say I am not sure where to start this week! Today Sunday 15th March is Mothering Sunday. So we are having a family gathering , two of our lads are joining us and the mother in law (95yrs old and bright as a button) for a meal at a local pub. Our middle lad is working so he cannot make the meal. Our youngest is joining us though his wife and the Newbie will not be, they will be joining her mother and family. Still I shall get to see my son if not the Newbie. ………….

So Happy Mothering Sunday out there to all who celebrate it at this time of year.

If we were having Coffee : I would have to tell you that the husband has been very unwell this week with either food poisoning or a nasty bug. It all started Tuesday evening when he started to be sick every hour on the hour and that carried on until Wednesday, after that he has been left very queasy, tired and extremely weak . Not at all his busy bustling self. I have donned my nurses uniform again and made him lots of soup as he has not felt like eating much food…. another unusual thing for him!. Will the aliens who have stolen my husband please return him!

If we were having Coffee : I had my hair coloured this week, went from black to red!

I am always keeping the family guessing and changing my hair colour.

If we were having Coffee : I tell you that the living room is nearly finished we now have the furniture! We have waited nine weeks for it to arrive and as we knew of a someone who’s house had been flooded out and they need furniture and soft furnishings so we give them our old suite and some lamp shades and curtains.

We used our conservatory furniture which looks lovely but is not quite as comfy as a proper suite! Any way our new furniture is here and we love it!

Three years ago we bought a reclining chair for my back, we felt we should return the chair the hospital loaned to us . Now to our delight we find it is an extremely good match for the new furniture. The chair is not shown here but it is looking good.

We are delighted with the furniture and our decorations all done by the hubby and also done while he was under par from his operation back in December! OOPs! I am going on a bit sorry!

Would you like some more coffee or perhaps a cake ? If we were having Coffee: I ‘d say looking at the bigger picture our papers and TV news has been full of the story of the four 15 to 16yrs teenage girls who managed to leave the country and go out to Syria to join Isis. The first girl left in December Sarmeena Bagum read about her here . The other three girls traveled out to join Sarmeena Bagum last month read here.

It does concern me that the parents did not question these girls as to where they were going. They apparently told their parents that they were going to a wedding. Well I would of wanted to know more if my child was packing a suitcase and going off to a wedding at the age of 15. These girls were only 15yrs old one I know is sixteen even so I would of made inquiries. They got through airport security, they traveled to Turkey and were helped over the boarder to Syria .Read about it here.

The four girls all went to the same school and yet no one thought to question why these three girls went off together. Apparently the girls were all friends. They all seemed to love their teenage western life, shopping music, dancing . I am afraid there will be none of that out in Syria with Isis , I fear they have a rude awakening awaiting them.

If we were having Coffee: I’d say lets talk of happier things

My gym buddy is away in the Caribbean enjoying a holiday with her husband so I have been going to the gym on my own. It is much harder going on your own no one to egg you on. She has been sending me beautiful pictures of where she is staying … am I jealous ….. NO! well Yes well No.

Well I think I have gone on enough .

If we were having Coffee: I would say lets go and see how Paul and his crowd are doing . I am sure that they will have lots to tell us !

If we were having Coffee: DAY OUT, TEDDYS, LAMBS AND WINDSOR

Hello and welcome come in it is lovely to see you all here again. The fires are lit the cushions are plumped up and we have the coffee and tea on the go and the cakes and sweets are all set out. We have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free!

If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at, Part time monster and it is growing like Topsie!

If we were having coffee : I would tell that I had another day out with my friend L. We went to Windsor, yes where the Queen lives part of the time. We did not visit the Castle as we have both done that before over the years. No we we had a look around the shops and walked up and down Castle Hill before going in to what was the old Railway Station, a used by Queen Victoria.

It is completely revamped full of shops and cafes and of course people . We saw a party of French students enjoying the undercover market stalls and admiring the steam train.

Windsor & Eton Central station is one of two terminal stations serving the town of Windsor, Berkshire, England. Although a small part is still a railway station, most of the station building has been converted into a tourist-oriented shopping centre, called Windsor Royal Shopping.^[1] It is situated on the High Street, almost immediately opposite Castle Hill, the main public entrance to Windsor Castle.

Originally named simply Windsor, the station was renamed twice: first to Windsor & Eton on 1 June 1904; and then, followingnationalisation of the railways, to Windsor & Eton Central on 26 September 1949.^[2]

The station is the terminus of the Slough to Windsor & Eton line and is served by a shuttle service of trains from Slough operated byFirst Great Western. Windsor’s other station, Windsor and Eton Riverside, is the terminus for the South West Trains service fromLondon Waterloo. Read more here.

L and arrived around 11am to find the town itself quiet, we had had snow first thing so we assumed the weather had scared most people off. We were probably right because as the morning went on the place filled up! We had fun in and out of the stalls in the station and stopped off for coffee and scones well we were in Windsor.

We found a lovely stall selling Rare Teddy Bears which were all really beautiful. The temptation was too much and we both bough a beautiful Grund, Peekaboo Teddy , L bought one for an imminent

Newbie ( she already has four grandchildren) and I bought one for my only Newbie. L also bought a lamb that sings Nursary Rhyme!! We were delighted with our buys here are some photos.

If we were having Coffee: I would tell you that the husband is improving slowly and much against my advice has been plodding along slowly but surly revamping our livingroom. The walls and paintwork are mostly done and we have fitted ( with the help of a friend, as the husband cannot do any heavy lifting still. ) A new fireplace and put the TV up on the wall. Next week we are having new radiators and in March our new furniture will arrive! I am getting impatient but thre is no point as it it is being made and we cannot rush things!

If we were having Coffee : I would offer you some cakes and biscuits , all calorie free of course !

In world news I would offer my condolences to the familes and friends of those lost in the Trans Asia Airways Plane crash in Taipei. Read more here.

I must close now as it is getting late and the husband is wanting to get to sleep and I think my tapping away is annoying him! so before I go here is a photo of the fireplace and TV .

If we were having Coffee: would like to remind you about

A Thousand Voices Speak For Compassion

I heard about it first on TanGental’s page here and also on Gene’Os page here . The idea is to get 1000 bloggers on the same day to write posts about compassion, kindness, support, caring for others, non-judgement etc.? (Date to be decided.(it’s suggested 20th February 2015) We could call it 1000 Voices For Compassion.Who’s in? I really would like to be but I need to think really hard about what to write about but I am going to think about it and I am going to take part … If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful to hear them!
