Tuk Tuks with abstract pics on…

I suppose the cosmetics on the tuk tuks are more random than abstract but I had to celebrate the day that Superdrug opened in Guernsey. I think it will have one of two effects on Boots. Either Boots will get its act together and get the lift which has been out of action for over a year repaired and the roof which was struck by lightening repaired. At the moment there is no access to the first floor so they are not selling any baby/children’s stuff and my GP based there has had to move out. But it also a complete mess resembling Steptoe’s yard not a so called top tier shop. I think the alternative is that they will close their Guernsey branch.
Interesting times..
And half an hour ago I dropped my completed voting form for the upcoming Guernsey election of Deputies into the post box. That’s my civil duty done for another 4 years.
Today’s saying is ‘pushing up the daisies’
The saying "pushing up the daisies" means to be dead and buried, and its origin is linked to the imagery of daisy flowers growing on graves. This figurative language first appeared around 1918, according to Dictionary.com, in a poem by Wilfred Owen about World War I. The phrase likely refers to the idea of flowers pushing their way up through the earth to grow on the graves of the deceased.
