Burrowing time

I don't know about you but I'm really taken with super cute things as well as plushies so what would happen if you mixed them?

Taking the rabbit theme your braids are in rabbits, your foot wear and your plushie as you sit licking your lollipop. I'd just love that!

While we await the reopening of more shops, people seem to be confusing terms like rules, guidance, legislation and law.

Laws set out by way of legislation what people may not do or may be permitted to do under certain circumstances and require legislation which itself is in accordance with the Constitution and comes from the State.

While setting out what it expects from people typically it allows for exemptions where it feels to have a blanket restriction would be unreasonable by adding phrases such as "where possible", "in exceptional circumstances..."  or "within reason".

Guidance within that suggests what exemptions may  be accepted so long as the general aims of the legislation are met and they exist because most things cannot be met by a "You can or you cannot" response and so require people to consider a situation and exercise judgement.

Acting against the legislation is actionable though legal action while going against guidance of itself is not so while a official may request face to face you comply so long as you do not breach that law or any other that is it. He can only fine, arrest or issue a summons so long as he has "The Power" under a specific act to do so.

Guidance is the simplified explanation of what it is a person is required or expected to do in most circumstances that derives from that and doesn't go into possible exemptions or it did, not into all the whys and wherefore of. 

In general you cannot be tried for breaches of any guidance only breaches of the actual legislation.

Rules as all of us who lived under them in boarding school might recall are the locally agreed conventions that may curtail things that are legal but of themselves rules are not enforceable in law by such means as court action provided another law hasn't been broken.

For instance not meeting a uniform requirement or if  not running own social media accounts is a condition of your contract being freely agreed and entered into then you could be said to be "in breach of contract" by not keeping to it.

If you don't like the rules of the Blogtown Tennis Club then you free to join or form another.

Thanks


Sometimes you end up looking at the past and with both this Covid-19 business an a few other issues on my mind  it's no that surprising I'd be looking at the comics I read as girl which as I wasn't well for a chunk of that time kept my spirits up.

 
Minnie The Minx as a favourite of mine in the era she'd be a minxing and Dennis really was the menace and like us they'd both pay for it in the end in this classic October 19th 1957 edition in a novel way.

It also references the popularity of Calypso music which was coming in after a decade of immigration from the West Indies to Great Britain.

Cartoon strips such as that I find have always helped lifting my spirits and also thanks for those who have send me their love recently.

VE Day reflections

A warmish bright morning here after the warm sunny VE Day weekend and I got another T Rex cd album to enjoy on headphones or stereo via my Fiio music player, I thought I'd get around to doing today.

There can be little arguing this pandemic is having an effect on relating patterns as people who are more used to being expected to make up their own minds are in in effect are just being told "this is what you will do".

For some of us that isn't a negative because we need and even crave that authority in order to do the right thing cos we can't rely on us doing it right straight off.

Personally I miss being able to be with the person who provides much of the stability and resistance to help me grow within my limits, who has me in uniform and who is prepared to dish out hard spankings to make sure I learn from my mistakes.

May Summer Musings

I can't speak for everybody but blowing on a Dandelion head and making wishes is something that I can recall from my actual childhood apart from making daisy chains during the summer months and actually that scene sat cross-legged on the school fields pulling them with the girls and making them has just come straight back into my mind this last rather sunny week over here.

I did get out a bit last week although I wasn't well this last weekend sadly, watching the wildlife about and the cows in the field apart from getting some sun and exercise in so I'm in the best shape to fight off an infections and that.

The clean air and quietness seems an odd bonus to me with this Covid-19 emergency but I'd like to keep some of that personally.
