Friday
Would you, could you be happy living the simple life. We are all so used to getting unsolicited information sent to us. In this instance I’m referring to a site I used to post a lot on. Over the years it has changed and progressed in its fashion, my time and interests have gone in a different direction, I still enjoy seeing some of the pictures posted by others .. in the themes I had enjoyed BUT with photoshop etc, I have noticed that many posts I’ve seen lately have been “changed” a beautiful landscape . scenic and enjoyed for its beauty alone … has been “redone” ..ie. a shot of a mountain top surrounded by awesome landscape has now got an old derelict building on its peak.. with the caption, could you live here,, ? The house once a beauty is aged and falling apart, Nature has reclaimed part of it. it is set so that if you walk off the veranda or down the stairs you are in “space”. All I could think at the time .. was… the art, the design was thought provoking yes, but, the original art, the picture of nature in its awesome natural state .. was now marred.. and if I hadn’t known that location would I have believed the view as it was presented to me in 2024.
So much ran through my mind, on one hand I appreciated that the artist had done a good job fitting the building on the peak, but on the other hand, I felt like what was real, was being reshaped, and the viewer was being misdirected. Then I realized that with technology today and Ai (artificial intelligence) the simple fact, in all cases … is not reality but what someone (others) want us to “believe” or “see”
Back to the caravan… yes if it had a bathroom and electricity I would like to spend “some” time enjoying the simplicity of the moment for a “short” time. Even the dreamer in me, needs a sink, loo, and electricity. Life eh!
On the Banana tea*, I was asked, did it work? I think so.. the first time.. I didn’t really know, but I tried it again, using two bananas and they were riper. This I enjoyed more, it was however “sweet”.. with 2 bananas the flavour was stronger, and the texture fuller. I slept well, ( *a few posts back)
A bit of a chop suey post today, it is Friday! Have a great start to the week-end,. this is the quote of the day.
Use things for what they are meant for. Everything has a purpose. Let’s use things to their fullest potential.

The nuthatch came for breakfast yesterday, I heard his little greeting and sat with him while he made several trips to the suet balls on the tree next to me. He did sneak over to the seed and sunflowers for a peck or two in that “tray”
