Jane at Levant: For ABC Wednesday

For ABC Wednesday - B is for Bus

B is for Bus for ABC Wednesday - lets turn the wheels once again - we can have classic old buses - double decker and single decker buses- open top buses - tour buses - and what about the school bus and the walking bus maybe - can we include that one I wonder? there are work buses and of course the playbus - it is endless - buses are a reliable source of transport both in the big cities and the countryside - they are pretty much reliable for time - well hmm!! maybe - what is that saying - one bus will come along followed closely behind by another one - well that's life and you take it on the chin and on to go - this blog is a bit of a ramble of thoughts of past and present.

Does anyone remember the series in the clip below I wonder - it brings back many a memory for me and I still laugh at all the corny jokes and the characters in the films

Eeek! I must dash - I have a bus to catch!!

Sorry, nothing to do with buses, but..
Your "Elegant Mushroom" picture is of a 'Parasol' mushroom. They are edible and I have enjoyed many. I found one on my walk here so time back:-

I don't remember that show but I do enjoy the British sitcoms and murder mysteries nowadays.

Thanks for On the the Buses. It's a reminder that not too long ago there was a conductor as well as a driver on the buses. And an inspector: "I hate you Butler!"

I have never ride a double decker bus and I would love to ride on it. When I came here in the US I asked hubby immediately where can I find a bus. And he said we don't have a bus here you should learn first how to drive lol!!

FAIRY -LED

The fairy people flouted me,
Mocked me ,shouted me
They chased me down the dreamy hill and beat me with a wand
Within the wood they found me ,put spells on me and bound me
And left me at the edge of day in John the miller's pond
Beneath the eerie starlight;
Their hair shone curd -white
Their bodies were all twisted like a lichened apple tree
Feather -light and swift they moved,
And never one they loved,
For all were full of dreams and dark designs on me.

With noise of leafy singing
And white wands swinging
They marched away amid the grass that swayed to let them through.
Between the the yellow tansies
Their eyes,like purple pansies,
Peered back on me before they passed all trackless in the dew.

Mary Webb - from the Spring of Joy

Three softly curved white sepals veined with light,

Three green-lined petals,guarding frugal gold,

And all so strong to fold or to unfold!

Snow thunders from the bending pines.How slight

This frail,sheathed stem! Yet all unbent it springs,

So swift in stoopings and recoverings.

In the pale sunshine,with frail wings unfurled,

Comes to the bending snowdrop the first bee.

She gives her winter honey prudently;

And faint with travel in a bitter world,

The bee makes music, tentative and low,

And spring awakes and laughs across the snow.

Mary Webb

Short Jokes of the day

Dress Code.

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Found on the web !! Part 2

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
