It feels like time is travelling at an impossibly fast rate. The days seem to be sneakily getting shorter (and not just because it is Autumn either.) I am sure that some days are conspiring with each other and managing to just vanish.
Pfffffttt!!!! Gone in a blaze of almostness.
Like Hello, it is Tuesday already. What happened to Monday? I only just published my weekly winners a minute ago and now it is Tuesday?
Gah!!!! Something is going on but, mind you if I was a day of the week, I would probably try to vanish as well if I had to be a Monday.
I mean honestly what sort of a name is Monday? Munnday? At least Wednesday has tricky spelling to trip the unwary and Sunday has the promise of a good lie in even when it isn’t sunny..
Enough of that drivel. I need to get my internal dialogue under control. Thinking about that sort of stuff is probably why my days sneak off anyway. Now Monday has probably gone and gotten all huffy with me, just because I wanted to know what a Munn was?
You watch, next week it will be Thursday all of a sudden and then I will be really confused. *sigh*
Ceramics! Yay!
I had to type that in order to control myself and get back on track.
This year is all about Focus. Focus and Resolution.
But it is hard to focus on earthly things like housework and making pots, when I am so close to discovering where they keep the Zombies..
I am pretty sure there are Zombies at the Royal Hobart hospital. Mum and I have been traipsing all through the hospital lately. Up corridors and down elevators.There are lots of places in the hospital where you could stash a few Zombies and no-one would ever notice.
Ever.
Unless of course they escaped.
There are lots of closed off sections, with crumbling plaster ceilings and faded yellow tile walls, that look like they could have been used as a set for a Frances Farmer movie.
The last time that Veronica was with us we had to venture down into the dank depths of the hospital to make an appointment for a bone-scan. We had travelled deeper and deeper into the bowels of the hospital, passing locked rooms with innocent looking labels on the doors. Hmmm? Camera room? I wonder if that is where they filmed bits of Shawn of the dead?
We were getting further and further away from the modern section of the hospital. There wasn’t a pastel coloured wall in sight. Veronica and I were loudly discussing discreetly pondering the possibility of Zombies, when we suddenly came to an abrupt halt at a reception cubicle. The receptionist (who looked uncannily similar to Norman Bate’s Mother, btw) didn’t look pleased to see us at all. She was barely civil as she made Mum’s appointment and you could tell,that she knew, that we knew about the zombies. It was a good thing there were three of us,(and a baby) or we mightn’t have gotten out of there quite so easily…
I will try and get some photographic evidence next week when we go in for Mum’s chemo..
Ceramics Yay..
This year is going to be an exciting year in the Ceramic Studio.Very Exciting. But the zombies have exhausted my supply of words and I need to get off my bum and actually do some work..
Cheers Kim

Those zombies are tricky suckers………. trying to convince the world that they don’t exist so they can scurry about unsuspecting hospitals unnoticed……..

And I’m sure those wheelchairs we saw weren’t really wheelchairs. They had spiky things on them, ready to impale unsuspecting people.

The Most Ancient Hospital I trained at (which had the original Matron still at the helm) was like that.
Most newbies would go in pairs into the depths of its bowels due to the often-sighted ghosts and LOUD things that went CRASH, BANG and BUMP the moment the lights were turned off.
But then they’d get used to it and ignore it like the rest of us lol.

You’re going to try and get photographic evidence of zombies? Good luck with that. Most of them prefer to wander during the midnight hour. If some of the hospital corridors are gloomy enough they could be fooled. Do you have something to lure them with? I’ve heard they like brains.
@ River mmmm I wonder If I could trick them with some sheep’s brains.
Now Now you 2 offspring of mine, the poor receptionist was very nice to me when I went back on my own for the scan, and not one zombie in site.
I would like to know where MY days swift off to too?
That doesn’t sound right. Oh well. I’m sure you know what I mean!
Jientjes last blog post..Would you?
hahahaha. We went to our local leagues club one night for dinner. We wanted to try a different restaurant from the familiar Chinese. So off we went through the club in search of the other eateries we’d heard about. We looked at each other and wondered where the hell we were, walking through mysterious corridors that reminded us of being in a hospital. Next minute we looked into an open door and saw a bunch of ladies doing tai chi or yoga, cannot remember, they was exercisin’ anyway. We finally found our way back to our Chinese spot where we knew what to expect at least. It was funny, tho.
All the best for your mum’s chemo treatment next week. Lots of love to you and your family.

Monday is the Gibberish derived from “Mundane” meaning ‘common; ordinary; banal; unimaginative’.
And? The bowels of the hospital? Try carrying a very small child through said bowels as you take him to have his non-accidental injuries photographed by the official hospital-type photographer! Not a lot can be more depressing than cancer, but I’ll wager that beats all.
You found that old tin under the bed didn’t you…

How right you are – days are whizzing by! Wednesday today and I’ve only just seen your amazing Weekly Winners!!! .. amazingly beautiful photos! Wow – those sunsets! Our sunsets are all wishy-washy at the moment maybe because the evenings are getting cooler.

Hehe, strangely light-hearted even with all the zombie talk! As soon as I started reading I thought of Shaun of the Dead- one of if not THE favourite movie of mine….cornetto?
Can’t wait to see the ceramics and can’t help wondering if they’ll be inspired by zombie corridors ;D

You know, lead paint will do that to you. Have you lead paint on the walls at home? Or maybe in the glazes you’re using? Yeah. I’ll bet that’s it. It’s the glazes … Hmmmmm … chelate, baby, chelate.

You know that receptionist is a Zombie, right? Maybe everybody is right… if you take her some brains next time, she’ll be more civil.
I’m making a note that this year is about Focus and Resolution.
I once dated a serial killer with the last name Monday.
F’rillz.
And time is flying by quickly for us, now. It’s spring time here in Colorado, and I can hardly contain myself. GOOOODNESS I LOVE SPRING!!!!!

Maybe it’s the zombies who have been stealing our days?
Great photo of your mum – you’ve made it look like a Degas – with the colours – gorgeous!
But yes – the bowels of the royal are definitely zombie territory – or a bit like `The Kingdom’ – the original creepy Danish series – not the crappy American remake!
