My Lodger Gina thinks things that would never cross my mind. Not even in a fit.
Today it was : Just as we create flexibility in our bodies by stretching physically, we can create limberness in our minds by stretching mentally. We can do this in small ways such as taking a different route home from work ..
Well I’m always on the qui vive for anything that slows down my inevitable slide into the hellish pit of mindless old age, so I thought I’d give it a try.
I walked a different way to the butcher shop, and found a whole new supermarket had sprung up overnight. With bolts of coloured cloth on the footpath, windows full of dead ducks and aisles and aisles of strange exotic vegetables. Not that I look at vegetables much, nor should you, they’re very over-rated.
For a moment I thought I had inhaled some secondary smoke from my Council Home Help Girl.
Just when I’ve learned to distinguish between cappuchino, capocollo and a kreatopita, I have to grapple with a congee and a chua. Quite enough mental stretching for one day.
I had to have a little sherry to recover.

I hang my toilet paper roll so it rolls to the back instead of the front and I feel mentally refreshed. Who needs weird fruits?

It wasn’t me. I just found it and posted it.
But given the opportunity, I can come up with some doozies.
Did I say thank you for putting me in your square? Shucks, I’m inspired to put you in my links!
Dad gum it, I think I will!

You don’t have to be shy about your maxims, witticisms and other pithy remarks … they resulted in my adventure to little Saigon
