Mango juice

Hi Natty!  How are you, my darling?  I hope you are healthy and enjoying yourself.  Just the usual here for me.  I like the social distancing, but I still have to go out despite it, which is a bummer.  Groceries, you know.  No, not for me.  I made mango juice today!  It's mango season!  I have a few ripe mangoes, so it's simpler to use them up by making juice.  It's like making a smoothie, I just peel the mangoes, dump the meat in the blender, add water and sugar, then whrrrrr!  Yeah these mangoes aren't that sweet, so I need to add sugar.  Very thick stuff, a mango smoothie!  Pour it into jugs, add more water, stir it up, now it's in the cooler chilling for a nice, thick and somewhat refreshing cold drink whenever.  Want some?

Qur'an 20200331

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

10.  And they say, "What!  When we lie hidden and lost in the earth, shall we indeed be in a creation renewed?"  No, they deny the meeting with their Lord!

11.  Say, "The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will take your souls then shall you be brought back to your Lord."

The Prostration 32:10-11

Not much going on

Hi Natty!  How are you doing?  Is it nice and peaceful over there?  There's not much going on here.  This social isolation actually suits me just fine, I even quite enjoy it.  I didn't have to go anywhere today, but my mother wanted some groceries.  I didn't bring a face mask, so I had to pull my shirt over my head.  They said it was the law to wear a face mask.  Oh really?  My mother gave me some fried rice for lunch.  I put it under a cover while I watered the plants, but today Floofy mastered the art of uncovering the cover.  Blessed be Allah that I was within earshot of her achievement, and was able to save my lunch.  I cut the grass in the evening.  Dinner was chicken, mushrooms, tofu and onions in a pita wrap.  I think it was a success, so alhamdulillah.  Next up is more fashion with Mary Unknown7.  Enjoy the country life, my dearest!

Congratulations

Hi Natty!  Congratulations on your first podcast!  I must say that you sound comfortable and confident, and that is the way it should be!  May you have many many successful years.  Are your buddies still in NYC?  I hope they're doing OK.  You should have told me you were going to do a podcast, I would have been the first to listen to it.  As it is, I'll bet jealous bullies beat me to it!  Well don't let them rattle you my dearest, you sound great.  Hey, do you folks want to hear my girl's sweet voice?  Here's the link!

Grumpy

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you are having a wonderful time in your beautiful environment.  Me, oh hot weather makes me grumpy.  I usually get through the days without saying anything about it.  But today I started swearing like a sailor when I kicked the cat water with my big feet after I just finished sweltering in the yard.  Sorry about that, kids.  Sorry you had to hear that, please forgive me.

I love ELO.  I grew up on ELO, so I asked Mary Unknown7 if she would sing another ELO song.  She said ELO isn't her style, how about another Shirley Bassey song instead?  I said OK, "Goldfinger".  So how about another ELO song?  She just shrugged, and turned away.  Sheesh!  How come her feelings are more important than mine?  I guess it's because she's the singer.  Chick singers are so troublesome.

So let's watch the cute little Jap kids instead.

Qur'an 20200328

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

25.  If you asked them Who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would certainly say, "Allah."  Say, "Praise be to Allah."  But most of them understand not.

Luqman 31:25

Act naturally

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are having a good time, and enjoying your own cooking.  Practice, practice, practice!  Practice with small portions!  Now don't you worry so much about them bullies who are jealous about your position.  I choose to marry you, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  So just relax and enjoy the country life.  Try some gardening!

I've been going about getting supplies, preparing for a stricter lockdown coming in April.  My fridge isn't that big, so I have to plan what with and when I can stuff my fridge.  I'm not too worried about the utility bills because they're government, but my Internet bill needs to be paid.  I have the money, but they're closed.  I sure hope they're not going to be stupid bastards about it, I hope I can find a way to pay them so it's a non-issue.  Otherwise, apart from my smuggling Mary in here for her vocal sessions, I'm just doing what comes naturally: being an isolated loner.

Cobra

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's puppy?  He reminds of a jacket you always used to wear.  I hope it's easy living for you both, and no worries whatsoever.  It rained again today, which means no yard work.  Hooray!  I'm so lazy!  Instead I cooked and ate my dinner slowly, while listening to the jukebox.  No yard work today means more yard work tomorrow, because grass and weeds grow fast around here.  Especially after the rain.  But I absolutely have to get back on Second Life and do more fashion.  I'm so hooked!  Fashion is SO addictive!

This virus is like a cobra that we have to go beat to death with a stick.  When we walk away, it gets back up so we have to go back and beat it down again.  Then we walk away again, and it gets up again so we have to go back again and beat it down.  It takes about 5 or 6 times before it stays down.  But it doesn't look dead...

Lavender

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's the country life suiting you?  Lots of time for meditation, huh?  You might think there's nothing to do, but that's not true at all.  It rained today, so I didn't have to do much yard work.  I did have time to rake up some dry leaves and set them ablaze right before the water came down.  This morning started off hot and humid, so much so that I thought I had a fever, but now it's so comfortable that I was able to nap right before sunset.  But after I post this, it's back to Second Life with more fashion fashion fashion with Mary Unknown7!  Work that I enjoy!

Mary's favorite color is lavender!
