A Banging Reception #dreamdiary 228

I’ve been invited to a colleague’s wedding. She’s only joined our site this year, but she’s been with the company for a long time, and I don’t know how long she’s been engaged for. The date that she’s given me is November 5. I don’t want to say no to that date, but it’s ringing a bell for some reason. Someone else may have an event on that date that I’ve already committed to. I’m assuming that other colleagues will be invited as well as those from her previous site. It’ll be a great evening as fireworks will be set off everywhere. I’ve got no idea if they’ll have their own display at the reception or if they’ll get a good view of someone else’s display. I don’t even know where the ceremony and reception are taking place. It might not have even been booked yet. But it’ll be rude to say no to the invitation.

'It's Anarchy'. Shops looted and police cars attacked as 1.2k arrested in French protests

Give the people what they want. That’s the key thing that politicians should be doing and people are getting annoyed with them when they’re not. Obviously some policies will conflict with others but when people unite and see where their money is going and what it’s being wasted on is cause enough for them to get angry. And it’s leading them to a breaking point. I wonder if we’ll see a similar situation in our towns and cities soon. But in the meantime, you can watch the violence on the news or when you’re out and about in hospitality venues. It’s probably not great footage to show as you might be giving people ideas but you might not care about that so long as you get your viewings. Some people will try to take advantage of it for their own purposes. But in the long run, it’s going to cost society to fix this so at some point more cuts will have to be made or even more prices will have to be increased.

Just In #habberley 47

And here we have the latest in our premium sack collection. On the right is our glam product. It’s guaranteed to shine in all the places that you want them to. It’s got comfortable tubes for you to insert your legs and offers a slight warmth that captures the sun and gives your lower half a mermaid look. On the left we have the holster. This allows your legs to be hooked and hung around anything at any angle. The only limit is gravity. In the middle Is a scoop which allows anything to be placed between your legs. And at the top getting ready to slide is the ghost. It’s light and can hide your whole body if you’re a certain height. There’s also the reversible version to guarantee that you’re seen while also offering zero protection for all who are under four feet. You won’t even know it’s there.

The Aristocats

This was a classic film that I’d never seen before. It was probably revolutionary in its day. The voice talent must have been sensational, and I recognised O’Malley’s voice in other productions straight away. But I found it difficult to focus on the action when the characters seemed to burst into song. I loved the eccentric lawyer and his care-free ways. Maybe it was because how much he was able to sponge off Madame. The kittens are as cute as anything and it was good to see them act out of their social settings and adapt at such an early age. Some of the repetitive songs are very annoying. While some scenes seem unrealistic, they still seem to subscribe to the same attitudes of the Disney family. But maybe it was written for a specific market to get musicians, singers and animators to come together for a niche bit of music.

The Sack #habberley 46

I don’t know what his role is but he’s not doing a very good job. Perhaps he’s opening each sack to test them to make sure that other people can fit inside them easily. He might be selling them to fools who walk past and pay him to get to the top of the steps. This could be his last one. Or maybe he’s just looking for a place to sit and he doesn’t want to sit on the grass. I suppose he could be on his lunch break. He could have his snap stored down there. He could be curious and just wants to be by himself before committing to inserting himself. He could be making the sacks with a new kind of cotton that he converts from grass. He might be a gardener employed to do a bit of weeding and he’s pulling them up to let the good grass flourish.

Park Life

He’s a short timid man with short black hair and oval glasses with a hardened face. He hasn’t got the friendliest of expressions, which perhaps explains why his hospitality business hasn’t gone according to plan. He saves it only for his favourite customers. Everyone else gets a scorn as they haven’t been coming in as often as they should have. He’s got long and thin fingers as if they’re inevitably ready to dart out to clasp your cash to clench deep within his fists before placing them into the till. He always dresses himself in black as if he’s camouflaging himself behind the scenes or if he’s about to pop outside to complete a deep cover black ops mission. He doesn’t recognise the value of customer service and is happy to keep his customers waiting until he finishes his connection with someone else once he’s got your cash. There’s little small talk unless he can discover your intentions.

The Release #habberley 45

How did she get out? She was never meant to escape. She doesn’t look particularly happy to be out either. Maybe she had a good life inside, but she’s got to face the outside world now alongside all of her problems. So she must have been released by someone and she’s been forced to walk through. Maybe she got pushed into the exit tunnel. She might have been grateful to receive her coat again but regretted it when she realised she wouldn’t have the opportunity to wear it inside. The cold fresh air and the wind against her cheek is beginning to remind her that it’s going to be difficult for her to fins her way back again to the same prison. She’ll have to learn a new routine with a different crew. Change is never easy but sometimes we have to do it to maker ourselves better. Sometimes it’s forced on us and we must rise to the challenge.
