You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

The first pic looks like a 6 legged horse with BSkyB fitted. Not at all like Rihanna's super catchy video.
Do horses see in Black and White?


*Heloooo Betty!!!!**

Zig said...

what else would a 6 legged horse with added satelite look like?

of course they see in colour this is the 21st century you know, they're particularly adept at spotting the grass is greener over the fence.

hellooooooo Betty!

I'm pleased to say you haven't deposited any song in my head, as I have no idea about what you are going on.

(I'm on some new drugs, by the way, thanks to your nagging yesterday.)

Apparently, Rihanna has publicly apologised for that song causing the apalling British summer.

Oh, and thanks :)

I would have thought this is Betty, Homo Escapeons, but then what would I know?

Why would a horse need an umbrella anyway? Whether it's named Betty, Ella or Freddy?

Neigh!

I'm going back to sleep now.

It must be an "English thing." Perhaps from some kiddies' tv show, like Blue Peter, or Magic Roundabout.
Creeps away to hide in the Geriatric Retreat...

Zig said...

The horse is Fern and she is learning not to be scared of umbrellas because she is but isn't anymore.

Hello to Betty because Betty has lost her ability to post on her blog and is waving (or waiving according to Murph) sadly from inside a glass cage.

I don't know what the English thing is to which Dynamo is referring, it must by an Oz thing - can you shed light on it Murph being the translator of things Oz?

Rog said...

She'll be right, mate!

I, Like The View said...

I havent a clue what anyone's going on about, but now I'm humming the tune to Vision On

:-)

(which happens to be one of my favourites, so that's all right)

have you invested in some massage oils yet, zig ?

;-)

Romeo Morningwood said...

Fern is scared of umbrellas? And this is a problem because the Mary Poppins Festival is being held in a nearby field?

We should all be afraid of umbrellas. I believe that it was Sir Winston Churchill who scolded psychopathic madman Josef Stalin at Yalta by uttering the now famous phrase,
"sure it's funny until someone loses an eye!"

dinahmow said...

I hate it when I have to explain OLD stuff...the umbrella song sounds like the sort of thing hosts used to sing on kiddy-tv, in the old days.
AT least ILTV has half an idea.I loved Vision-On!
And thankyou, Murph for translating.Bonza!

Zig said...

the problem with horses being scared of umbrellas (besides the MP festivals, which frankly are a nightmare round here) is that people tend to open them when it's raining and if you're riding by at such a time then you find yourself either on the ground sans horse or somewhere else in a hurry. Either outcome is not pleasant, better for horse to learn brolly won't bite.

Vision-On - I loved it too but now I can't think of the song, what I have going round in my head is the tune to Animal Magic! Didn't you love Jonnhy Morris mmmmmmmm I did!

Zig said...

how do you spell Johny Jonny Johnny

not like I just did!

And ILTV - can't wait for some all black attention ;o)

Ces Adorio said...

I have never heard of this song and so there is no tune stuck to my head BUT these photographs are lovely, especially the second one. I love looking at people who wear wellies.

Moominmama said...

i'm so confused...

I, Like The View said...

If I had words to make a day for you, I sing you a morning golden and new. I would make this day last for all time. Give you a night deep in moon shine.

dinahmow said...

Whoah, sisters! Should not the lady from their homeland be first in line for a massage? (I grew up with a few of the lads, y'know)
Let's form a Vision On fan club and ride our tricycles through wet paint!
Nah! let's get pummelled by the front row!

I, Like The View said...

hey zig

I've started on her feet*, why don't you work down from her head and we'll meet somewhere in the middle?

:-D

(*avoiding the poorly toe)

Zig said...

I think she wants to feel the front row not us!

Dave said...

Don't get oil on the wool of my new jumper.

Romeo Morningwood said...

Is Cherry there yet? You two are up to something big aren't you?

I will require some photographic evidence of your zany antics.OK?

I bet she'll bring her new Scouting For Girls CD.

Zig said...

so BIG you wouldn't believe it!

FirstNations said...

..yeah, crap...not a clue.

*hides in Geriatric Retreat with Dinahmow, takes up shuffleboard*

kj said...
