About Taking a break from packing by doing some long needed paper-work... Needed coffee, and by the time I returned found the herd had decided to head for the hills ~~GRIN~~...

One of my joys is collecting elephants... This herd had been rounded up for packing away in a cosy box... however, they obviously had other ideas on the operation... Macro, levels, sharpen...

Sorry so late with TY Jan, just doing a catch up... :)

Elephants have a wisdom, a certain humanity in the way they love, nurture, anger, play and mourn... Have loved them, I think, for most of my 57 years... and you are right...LOL... This lot sure is messy... :) can only imagine what state the box they are now packed in will be like... :)

Thanks kindly Sir... appreciated...:)

LOL - This is a cute shot and I am quite fond of these creatures. I used to collect them including jade elephants. Messy ones that you have though. Don't forget to pack them!
--Best to you, Jan

LOL Susie... I'd just washed them and sat down for a breather... and had a *grey matter moment* , imagination jumped in... My brain is slightly addled I'm sure... ~~GRIN~~...

I have a theory Susie... If you can see the desk top, well, you don't need a desk... LOL... That's my excuse anyway...:)

Something extra special about elephants and have always loved them... :)

Thanks for your lovely comment Susie, truly appreciated...:)))

LOL Robin... My mother used to say I sounded like a herd of elephants in the house... Noise means people are alive and enjoying life :) well, at least that's the way I like to think of home...:))) I had fun with this so, thanks Sweet Lady by the trunk full ;)))...

~~GRIN~~ March is a great month... 17th is also my best friend of 34 yrs... and her name is *Leonie* lol... My beautiful mother in law's was the 12th... So that is Meg, myself and then your B'Day... Nothing fishy about us, celebrations all round Robin... Here's cheers to life... )))

H HUGS E D...:)

I've been trying to leave a comment for two days now...something or someone always keeps me from finishing it...but not this time! Originally caught my eye because I too have elephants roaming my house...can be noisy from time to time! ;) Like the addition of text and footprints...cute image Onie.

Another dose of warm hugs...Robin

ps...through the forums I read your birthday is March 10th, mine is March 17th! Elephants, birthdays, medical issues...what else do we have in common??? :)

Hi Txules... Thanks kindly Sir...:)

At least these haven't been killed for ivory or umbrella stands... Some of these I bought at a church fete... African handicrafts promoting tribal cottage industry by women...:)

“put a smile on the dial before the knickers... “

I just love your humor, and I really must remember that one, I’m still giggling.

Yeh! Its funny how all the papers stem from the people we pay to deal with…..the papers!
*Makes mental note*,….must buy a hamster to recycle all the shredded paper as bedding. ~~Grin~~

LOL Doyle...... Wish our meter reader would get lost, whether it's at your place or ours doesn't really matter... :)

They have only just worked out that they overcharged us by several hundred dollars the last two quarterly readings... :) Only bonus was this bill almost negligible...LOL...

Glad you enjoyed the fun with this Doyle...:)

Thanks kindly Sir as always appreciated...:)

Your desk sounds beautiful Meg...:) Funnily enough, that is what the majority of the paperwork is on ours... Plus humungous amounts of medical information, Taxation etc... and we have a financial advisor LOL... (where half the p'work is from:))

Rather laugh any day Meg... Most important thing in the morning, put a smile on the dial before the knickers... ~~GRIN~~... If you can't change it, don't worry about it...

Thanks always for great fun... The smiles are reciprocated here also...:)

Hehehehee . . . great shot and now I don't feel so bad about MY clutter. Started at the desk I thin . . . :) Hmmmmmm . . . now it's spread so far they had to sound out a search party for the man that came to read the meters!!! LoL! Fun shot!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

At least you have an excuse for the clutter!

When I can see it mine is a beautiful solid mahogany hand crafted desk.
At the moment it's piled high with papers and files for our private pensions (John retires in June) I'll be happy when our finantial adviser has sorted it all out.

I love your bit of silliness, you always manage to make me smile... :^))

~~GRIN~~ Meg... You can't see much wood on the top of our desk either... It's stacked high, in a corner, surrounded by files at moment... You'd need a rope around your waste, a miners lamp, a big stick and a note from your mother just to approach... :)))

This is actually our dining table... A beautiful, old Tasmanian blackwood extension... with a crank-handle... Our temp desk 'til we move... :)

~~GRIN~~ Couldn't resist a play with the *crew*, som am pleased you enjoyed the bit of silliness Meg...:))

Ta muchly as always...:)

You’re making me ashamed Onie, I can’t see so much wood on the top of my desk.

I love the humor of this shot.
