He could bonsai my bush any day


Meet Jakob, our new Under-Gardener

Been busy again in the extensive gardens - and on such a warm sunny day, who could blame us if our tops just fell off..? [Of course, Jakob with his top off looks infinitely better than my flabby carcass, needless to say.]

In fact, all this drooling pottering has been such a distraction, I almost forgot it was a Tacky Music Monday!

Let's make up for that, shall we, with a double-dose of - ahem - talented artistes whose speciality is the dance style known as ParaPara, that was all the rage in Japan for several years recently...

[NB I have discovered that the inscrutable gnomes behind each of these videos has removed the "play embedded" function, so you'll need to click through to YouTube to - ahem - enjoy them.]

Have a good week, dear reader.

  1. I’ve been planting, weeding etc, today too. Still more to do, but the weather is going to be good for a few days yet. Yay!

    1. I'd loan you our gardener, but I think he's a bit - ahem - bushed!

      It's been gorgeous today. We've found a garden centre that delivers compost and gravel, and we're in the process of redoing every single one of the pots (they didn't have any new compost this time last year, for obvious reasons, as lockdown #1 had barely started and not even garden centres were allowed to open).

      Can't wait for our second jabs and the end of all this bollocks so we can actually visit you and you can visit us, and we can "ooh" and "aah" at eachother's hard work! Jx

    1. I think your unruly bush might be too much for the poor thing. Jx

      PS So now the Devon mud will be turning to brick before you know it...

    2. It only plays on the Youtube webpage. Click the play button above and when you get the notice click the "Watch on Youtube" link, it will open a new tab for Youtube on your browser to watch it.

  6. I should do more Parapara throughout the day instead of sitting on my ass in front of the computer. I would be so much healthier!

    1. I think those ra-ra skirts are quite unbecoming. I shan't partake... Jx

    2. I would do the world a great service by not wearing the skirt. I don't think a woman of my age should wear such a thing, only Cher has that kind of magic to pull off such a feat!

    3. Cher is a triumph of art over nature... Jx

    1. Darling! On our garden-boy payroll there simply has to be a "head" and an "under" otherwise the formula just doesn't add up for good porn, I mean housekeeping!

      Hands off Eddie's chopper, bitch...
