Laundry Days Can Be Good Days!

Today is the last day that I will be home as the hubby's nurse, even though he is not healed and is still in a lot of pain I have only been able to have a week off to look after him and therefore... It's time to get ready for work again... I have a few things to get done around the house, but the one job that seems to be never ending is laundry... I have a mountain of laundry but it's one of those things you need a washing machine for, and since my washing machine had other ideas... 

The ball bearings are loose in my washing machine, luckily last month I had my holiday money and that means I have a little flexibility and only need to wait now for the delivery of my new washing machine. 
Until then I'm spending my evening in the local laundrette... There's no one here, it's too warm and most people around here have laundry facilities at home, so I'm here alone... I'm bored, and I think I'm going to be a little rebel and see just how good the vibrations of a drier can feel... 
The aftermath of the feeling is that it's the perfect time to ignore the signs and have a cheeky cigarette, I just hope it was as good for the machine as it was for me...

A Drink in the Moonlight

It is insanely hot here in the Netherlands and our homes are DEFINITELY meant to hold the heat rather than release it... It's one of the reasons that Summer and I do not get on LOL... This timeof year I find myself wishing I could be more of a night owl or perhaps a Vampire... I've been around the hospital too much lol wanting to be in the night and suddenly reminded of the smell of blood... 

I know that Vampires are often portrayed as the monsters, but in this day and age that should be altered in my mind. People are just as bad if not worse, and they come with a lot less grace... I love things that are Vamp based, Twilight aside because that was just silly nonsense I mean he sparkled and they gave birth to a demon-like baby... I'm still mourning the finale of What we do in the shadows, and love the glamour that often comes with a lady of the dark... 
I think now days we have enough blood banks, we should learn to share what extra we have with the Vamps and then leave them to dance through the shadows and the moonlight...

Protecting the Magic Eggs

Everything needs a little magic to make it seem like a better feeling... When days are as hot as this it feels like the sun has started blowing more heat our way like a dragon that's pissed off protecting his treasure from those that would try to steal it... The female dragons are too busy protecting their scared sanctums that guard their eggs... 

The Dragons eggs are collected by the Celtic Druidesses, and they are floated within the Wishing Fountain - backdrop by K&S - of the inner sanctum... It is a place of magic, protection, and safety... The ladies protect the eggs in the fountain while th dragonesses protect the celtic magic...

I ain't afraid of no Ghosts...

So yesterday I was thinking a lot about Wonderland, I cannot tell you really what sparked that thought pattern but last night to distract the hubby we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and tonight it's movie night again... I'm not that much of movie buff - Lord of the Rings excluded, I could talk about that all day - but there are times when the right movie can be a good thing... They set the mood, they like my blog can take me away to another place and they bring stories to life that many may never think of... 
Now I'm going to show my age here, I'm a child of the 80s and proud of it, but do you remember when 3D movies first became a thing?! It was an insane experience... 

The first time I saw a 3D movie it was a shock... I think the first time I saw a 3D movie was the Muppets 3d in Disneyland, and I can honestly say as much as the film was fun it set my motion sickness off something terrible and I was more than a little put off from seeing things in 3D again... 
It was crazy to me how a movie brought someone's imagination to life in moving pictures but also that those moving pictures could leave a screen and be right up in your face like they could touch you... It was a bizarre feeling, one that still makes me surprised to this day... Even though now days it's less abnormal andif you try and tell youngans about it they look at you iek you have two heads, with stories of different coloured glasses!!! 
Anyway it's movie time... HellBone plans to scare me a little with a few Ghostbusters...

Do you play Croquet?

Things are crazy in my household at the moment. My pain in the butt, whom I love muchly, hubby was operated on yesterday and though he's home he is in a lot of pain. I've been allowed to take a few days off so that I can look after him which so far has been fairly OK... He is a little high on the good kind of drugs, but it's me that seems to be stuck in my own tiring little Wonderland, I'm running around all over the place doing things for him... I finally managed to get a little time to rest and so I ended up finding a Wonderland that was a little less stressful... 

What to do while I'm here to relax? Anyone fancy a game of croquet? I always used to love the idea of the flamingo croquet that Alice played with the Queen of Hearts in the Disney version... I wanted to play with the croquet mallets so badly because they looked like heaps of fun... So in the gardens of Wonderland I'm going to ask, DO YOU PLAY CROQUET?!

A lot more Pride, a lot less Prejudice!

Love is love and that's all that matters, or at least it should be... With everything going on in the world right now, from wars that are on going or scarily close to starting, and wannabe kings holding parades that resemble celebrations held for monarchs of distant lands, and even closer to home with people striking for more money and causing masses of chaos for everyone else... It feels so much more important to celebrate love for those who have always faced stigmatism, because we should all be allowed to love, and it might make the world a better place... 

Pride in Amsterdam comes a little later in the year but right now other places are celebrating Pride... I'm always willing to celebrate love, and I KNOW that it's easier said than some people agree to but I want to send huge hugs to everyone... I guess these days I'd consider myself an Ally more than any other letter in the LGBTQ+ range, testing the water at university and my early 20s doesn't really count but I do firmly believe that love is love. It shouldn't be up to any one person to say who another can or cannot love - unless there is a lack of consent or confusion from an involved party and illegal things are happening of course... Like the sign says, I can't believe we're still protesting this shit... It's 2025, let people be who they want, let people live as they want... 
Pride at Home is happening, as are many other Pride events, right now and I want to take a moment to reach out. The world needs more Pride, less Prejudice, I mean isn't there enough crazy shit going on in the world that people also want to control who others love too?!

An Egyptian Goddess, Wadjet!

I woke up this morning feeling too hot and bothered, it was too early to get out of bed but I couldn't bare the thought of just laying there and stewing in my own headachy blahness... It lead to me being weirdly creative... 
It lead to my mind disappearing to a faraway land and a time long ago, and where the magic of the old gods could be felt within the desert sands walls... To a Bright and Magical Luxor Night... 

We know so much of the magic that went along with the stories of the Egyptian Gods but there are some that are more famous than others. Whilst on our trip together today, we have come across the beautiful goddess Wadjet - although this is more like my Monster High kinda version probably - who was revered as a protector of kings of the ower kingdom... She and her cobra head were seen as a symbol of protection and sovereignty, apparently...
Our Monster High styled version of Wadjet, seems a little more disgruntled at yet more statues of the senior gods, where the heck was the new one she'd been promised... She's a Naga Vaelric - a release from BeSpoke that can still be grabbed today at the Vintage Fair but it closes on the 16th so maybe you'll have to head to the mainstore - and she deserves to have EgyptianTales told...
