Stop Your Messing Around

“Stop your messing around
Better think of your future
Time to straighten right out
Creating problems in town
Rudi, a message to you
Rudi, a message to you” ( lyrics, The Specials )
……………
The Skating Monkey the Management of The Vintage Fairy Tales,
has a message to me,
Becky.
- Learn to breathe properly,
relax and lower your shoulders,
do not waste energy on those who do not appreciate you as much as I do,
and stay focused on the afternoon tea!
I think he may be right in everything he says.
Yes, sometimes I need guidance.
……………
Love/
Becky

Helen | August 26, 2010Good advice…but what about his friends? They look a little menacing!
Hugs and smooches…

Beautiful and whimsical photo Becky.

Helen | August 27, 2010He is right, I agree, wish I had a little pal like that to bring me back into focus…

Linda in New Mexico | August 27, 2010The Skating Monkey is always right. I wonder where he got to be so smart? Perhaps the circus was like finishing school. tee hee
People who do not appreciate you are certainly not only not worth your time but (snaps fingers) they also are not worth another thought. Because there are too many of us who loves you to pieces, cutie.
I have made some crazy mushrooms…red capped of course…and will be sending along a photo at days end. I had the most fun with these silly creations. Just to tease you…they are glass bowls, red with white polka dot fabric and have lights under the cap….oh too strange. But the house gnomes seem to like them as does the crazy little dog.
Much love and hugs, The Olde Bagg
Great advice from the Skating Monkey becky! Anyone who doesn't
Diane | August 27, 2010Great advice from the Skating Monkey becky! Anyone who doesn’t appreciate you doesn’t deserve your attention!
I love the superman monkey bringing the chairs – or doing a runner with them! But the skating monkey’s kind and gentle smile – and his guidance – win every time – wish I’d seen the whole exhibition – another fabulous photograph!

The Skating Monkey knows just what to do! Bring those
The other half of Martha and Jane | August 28, 2010The Skating Monkey knows just what to do! Bring those chairs…Quickly! One for the management to sit and the other to prop her tired feet! Bring hot tea and scones and clotted cream and fresh strawberry jam! Maybe a small glass of berry cordial as well.
You Two! Come now and dim the lights. It is time for candles only… glowing behind the Shadow Stage as we perform a show of magic and fantasy for our lady! The management will sit back and get swept into the enchantment while visions of Julie Arkell creatures and loving hearts from friends flutter about her. She will forget her disappointment and have a happy soul because she knows we appreciate her and love her more than we can say.
STOP THE SHOW!!! What? I what? Oh gee....a little
The other half of Martha and Jane | August 28, 2010STOP THE SHOW!!! What? I what?
Oh gee….a little Bird has flown in to tell me, that while I was getting carried away, I got the Management and the Administrator mixed up, confused, and turned around! I am sorry…I still don’t know all the correct information. But we are just trying, all of us, to make our lady feel better because it makes us sad to see her under stress from something or someone who does not treat her like we (And the Skating Monkey) would desire…so there! Sorry about that!
Haven't we ALL learned important life lessons from that dear
jone | August 28, 2010Haven’t we ALL learned important life lessons from that dear Skating Monkey?

Thanks for sharing his words with all of us…

Ha det gott!

He is right, I think I need the same advice!
cieldequimper | August 29, 2010He is right, I think I need the same advice! Have a great end of weekend and beginning of week!
I can't think of anything more lovely than afternoon tea
juliewhitmorepottery | August 30, 2010I can’t think of anything more lovely than afternoon tea with the Skating Monkey,
then afterwards? Why skating, of course!

Hej och tack för tipsen. Man vet, men gör inte.
marie | August 30, 2010Hej och tack för tipsen. Man vet, men gör inte. Kanske jag ska gå ner och sitta och titta på en kopp kaffe medan jag dricker den. Din bild är perfekt färg för mig nu. Jag är JUST där färgmässigt. Snällt och lugnt. Inget påfrestande eller uppmärksamhetspockande. God dag.
Så sant så sant! Skating monkey är en klok liten
