a violinist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Dorset back country.

As I was not familiar with the country lanes, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guys had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt bad and apologised to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.

I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my violin and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Uh, aren't there about 100 Smurfs in that Smurf village? Why do they have what seems to be way more than 100 newspapers? 🤔

Note to self: Smurfs apparently aren't into sustainability.

Oh nice. BlueBrixx will have their own minifigs next year! Designs look alright, and it's got a bit more functionality than the standard LEGO minifigs.

Cute, Gargamel is wearing red pyjamas with a Smurf heads pattern on it. 😄

@knuppelbeer Die van de jaren 80 kende ik ook wel, geinig maar een beetje suf. De stripboeken kon ik ook wel waarderen, lezen op m'n eigen tempo. Maar de 2021 versie verraste me aangenaam.

Normaal is 3D-animated nooit zo'n grote verbetering ten opzichte van origineel 2D getekende versies.. maar in dit geval is het een hele vooruitgang.

Y'know, I think those Smurfs are actually drug addicts. They can't go a day without sarsaparilla.

Mmm, cool! Lenovo might have Legion Go in the pipeline to join the ranks of the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. It has detachable controllers just like the Nintendo Switch, and it looks like one of those controllers has a trackpad on it too. Curious how this will turn out!

Omfg, I'm so in love with this Smurfs episode (from the 2021 3D animated series). 😂 

Hefty and Scaredy accidentally broke Papa Smurf's telescope and went into hiding. Papa Smurf is obviously upset and sets up a search party. Omfg, how can they keep hiding.. oh yeah! Let's dress up as girls! They won't suspect a thing!

Except Papa Smurf saw through their disguise immediately, but instead of exposing them he played along with the act and even let Smurfette know about this. So they all have set up an elaborate scheme, making those 2 dig deeper and deeper into their 'hiding' act.. and just.. I just cannot... lol. 🤣

I love this series.

Uh.. wow. I won't be buying this brand of yoghurt anytime soon. Got this one for free from a supermarket scratch card, so decided to try this for dessert. This is even worse than the nacho meal. 😬

Oh gods, I should eat something tasty now to prevent my taste buds from doing seppuku.

Post uit de toekomst?

Misschien viel het je wel eens op: sommige post heeft een dagtekening die nog een aantal dagen in de toekomst ligt. Waarom is dit?

Het gaat soms over enorme aantallen brieven, dus we willen de printers wat ontzien en vooral ook die arme postbode.

Omdat iedereen genoeg tijd moet hebben om te reageren (die termijnen liggen ook vast in de wet) versturen we de post in batches, waarbij de laatste batch uiterlijk óp de datum van de dagtekening wordt bezorgd.

Bwoah, it is pretty difficult to prune the butterfly bushes when they're twice as tall as you. 😬

Grabbed Lemuroid on the phone and managed to get me a Skip-bo rom somewhere. I've never owned an NDS, but my bro and sis both did, and I used to play Skip-bo on theirs.

Played a few sessions just then. Ahhhh, nice. 😁

The nacho meal was actually a bit disappointing. There is enough for 2 days, so tomorrow again. I'll have to add something to the meal, because my taste buds are craving more than this meal can give. Definitely won't be buying this sachet again.

Nachos are in the oven. My first time making a nacho meal, with premade stuff from a large sachet. Let's hope it'll be tasty.
