'Elephant Walk'

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

We gratefully slept in; even our Blue! Until a long distance phone call came in at 9:00 am. We groggily let the 'alarm clock' run its course. When we did check for a message; it was a survey; and it was noon their time. Methinks if someone is going to telephone early on a Saturday am, they should leave a message. It was almost as if the person was afraid to utter a sound, save for my ears hearing background noises and voices of telemarketers. Alan had 'pre made' the coffee last night; just push the button, and presto, my morning elixir! We are emmeshed in a thick fog; as per the weather forecast for the next few days; so the cups of coffee are extra appreciated at this hour! LOL!

Last night, from our comfy bed, we watched 'Elephant Walk' with Elzabeth Taylor, Dana Andrews, and Peter Finch; and wow! Awesome breathtaking Ceylon scenery (You can refer to my post of yesterday, if you wish). I totally enjoyed the movie; beautiful lush countryside, colourful flowers everywhere; and the 'bungalow' was none too shabby either! ie. A classic style, all befitting to a gracious grand old home!

Elizabeth Taylor is one of my favourite actresses and she was ideal for the role; loved the simple elegance of her dresses! (Have been complimented by many, that I look very similar to her; or she like me! Perhaps in earlier years! LOL! When I 'donned' on a dark wig; there was / is a strong resemblance, particularly with the eyes! Have to also share that as a child, I was very fair, a 'natural blonde', with the dark eyebrows. However, in my late teens, the blonde hair grew into a natural dark 'brunette' shade. No knocks on 'brunettes' (was one myself! LOL!); however, I reverted back to the 'original' colour! LOL!). How is that for a tid of trivia! And they say, 'Only your hairdresser knows for sure!'

The 'Elephant Walk' is an appropriate name for the story; as the old Governor (deceased) had built the huge house, which blocked the 'water walk' or direct route of the elephants, in their vital quest for water! There were walls to keep out the poor elephants; and the bull elephant, whose mate had been shot and killed by the old Governor, was constantly 'stirring things up.' As it is said, 'An elephant never forgets'. The son of the old governor had a 'tough act to follow'; it was as if his father was still 'alive', and everyone was paying homage to his memory etc. It depends in which tidbitz way you look at it, but to me, the ending was justified; and yet, with a positive outcome. Better still, if you see the movie for yourselves, to appreciate the 'whole 9 yards'.

Tidbit - As they say, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Appreciate and take daily delight in the simple and little things; helps keep you upbeat!

Bittid - He Created the Universe in six days! WOW! 'Praise Him In ALL Things'. ie. The magnificent scenery from 'Elephant Walk!'

We have some bit errands to do; may be back in a bittidz. Should add too, that I love elephants!

Peace and God Bless.
