G.O.Y Global!

lol I've not looked at my atlas for ages, it's well out of date by now as far as national names and boundaries go. But the relief maps are always worth looking at, and the SolSys and Galactic maps put us firmly in perspective.

i love those maps lulu! i can see where im going on holiday too!

have you labelled where everyone is?!! ferns are looking very pretty.

is your greenhouse ok after that wind?

I've seen a "scratch map", Sticki; it's covered in thin foil and you scratch off the countries you've been to. would be a nice bit of bragging for a well-travelled person to have on their wall!

oh thats a nice idea, i havent been very far so i wont be bragging!! but i/we could scratch off the places where we know someone from!!!

enjoyed the blog Lulu and maps seeing where we all live, the universe one is cool , whats the teeny planet next to earth? only one not named :o))

Glad you like the mountain ranges. That's me - half way along the northern coast of Spain on one of the mauve pointy bits. Hello!!!!!!! \o/ (double wave)

good thought, Sticki! if you search for "scratch map", as I just did, you'll find a few.

lol I'd need one for just UK, or even better, just London, to list my travels! both of which I also found

Would it be the moon San or are we on a colission course with a rogue asteroid........;0)

I love the universe one, so glad you showed it twice as I`d forgotten what it looked like.
I guess the pup is trying to see if its worth eating and you`ve just reminded me that I needed mayonaisse, darn it, lol....

I think it's the moon San!
Glad we can now see you properly Nariz!
I wanna scratch map...lots of them! Sounds fun!
Sticki, the tent/green house is still standing, unlike the bird table!

Hellmanns, the only unhealthy ness, lurking in our fridge (and a spare in the cupboard!)

yes i saw the poor bird table!
:-(

I now need a bigger map table!

and bird table

No, we have what was fondly named 'The Vulcher Table,' David made it 8 years ago!!

Look at you with your space age finger tips..

i hope no vultures land on it!!!

cool atlas..liking europe..put a pin in Berlin for me, although my little flat as only a window box hehe..

I just love maps Lou, you are really good at this, well done. Could you add Hildadorissen to Belgium?, she does not often come on here.

you are your own Ruler Lulu!!
Lulu Land !! ;-)))

nice one bampy!!! its a very happy land too

Cool Lulu

reminded me of Bowie Sticki

There is a happy land where only children live
They don't have the time to learn the ways Of you sir, Mr. Grownup
There's a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves
It's a secret place and adults aren't allowed there Mr. Grownup,
Go away sir
Charlie Brown got's half a crown, he's gonna buy a kite

Jimmy's I'll with chicken pox, and Tommy's learned to ride his bike
Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he's so small we don't notice him
He gets in the way but we always let him play with us

Mother calls, but we don't hear
There's lots more things to do
It's only 5 o'clock, and we're not tired yet
But we will be, very shortly
Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry

Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky

Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away

Tommy's mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray

There is a happy land where only children live
You've had your chance and now the doors are closed sir, Mr. Grownup
Go away sir

hmmm there are some likenesses!!

there is also the much older version:

'There is a happy land, far, far away,'

thankfully this one wasnt so far away!!!

Oh Pimp, one of my fave Bowie songs! I have the CD with all those.....come and buy my toys...some song about buttons and grave diggers...love it!

have to have that one out with the drums next time lulu!!

I love those relief maps. They're fascinating.

Is this the one Pimms/Lulu?

loving the maps especially Canada you are going to be a busy girl sticking all those pins in and I saw Banff right up there on the
Moray Firth coast so stick a pin in for me its clear in the picture of Scotland . Happy mapping :)))

lol Sticki, that song always reminds me of Arsenic and Old Lace, which I watched again last week.

I love the really old maps, the way the continents, or bits of them, are represented, and Jerusalem was put at the centre of them, as being the centre of the world. One of the King Louis said that he lost more land because of proper mapping than he ever lost through war!

Nice quote fran!
Not sure I have seen that film, I will have to look it up.

worth checkingo ut - it was criticised at the time for "bad taste" but since when has Cary Grant been guilty of that?

Lol, Hiya Lu :)))
Great job!

Lululand........ what a wonderful world.......:0)

early Bowie is my Fave stuff Lulu..."Love you till Tuesday" and "Maid of Bond Street" are the best.

This is going to be one BIG job!!

I'm going to look those up,thanks pimms. Are you putting music on for each member on lulu's map? That would be fun! Keep you busy!

That is the one Sticki...Just listened to maid of bond st ...great stuff. Gattina needs putting on the Map BTW

She must have brought this awful rain from italy! Fingers crossed it looks drier for tomorrow!

clever lyrics that maid of bond st ~ but im definitely not one of those!

Gales here at the mo

horrendous!!

I used to work near Bond St, used to sing it every morning!
Amazing sunshine this evening, well here anyway!!
Stud news.....David's going to buy 2 pygmy goats to keep a poorly mare company!! Looking forward to that!

aw pygmy goats that will be lovely!!

sunshine??? how fabulous, the rain is a bit less now! im hoping it will be better tomorrow

Hope so.
How's about mosaic making soon, Avebury far to wet at the mo! And also I feel rotten due to lurgy of some sort or ulcer (hope not that one again! That's how I went from 9 stone to nearly 7 a few years ago!)

oh lulu, that doesnt sound good, i hope you will be ok.

would love to do mosaics, cant do this week ~ maybe next??

Torrential icy rain all day......now the mist is coming down......but we,ve had a family party... With cake... and balloons......so really didn,t notice..........

it was on the news pam, how badly the midlands has been hit ~ floods, trees down and roofs off.

we're very glad that we live on the hill but lanes in the village have been flooded since thursday, no houses along there but makes getting out to the main road difficult as the smaller roads that cross the river are flooded leaving only a couple of directions.....a nusiance at the rush hour!
!

we live on the side of a hill too, there are trees down between us and a nearby village.

Oh dear Sticki, such a shame and it causes such disruption

We have a moat scenario after all this rain! I see there's more rain over the next few days, they are even talking about cancelling Badminton Horse Trials!!

the hereford mud run was cancelled on sunday because of trees down on the course and there are fears that tewkesbury could become an island again!!

has the ha ha filled up to a moat lulu?

Yep, Badminton cancelled. Which means, instead of guests half the week, only at the w/end!

Shame to cancel Badminton Lulu, I doubt it will be resceduled

lol isn't badminton usually played indoors???
