I attended a lecture the other day. It wasn’t meant to be a lecture, just a drink with some mates, but whenever Brainbox Brian turns up he always attempts to impart his wisdom upon us.
He told us how living a monochrome life in a kaleidoscopic environment deprives us of the nectarous nature that’s there for the tasting. How we should leave the chill of a blinkered perspective and embrace the warmth that surrounds us.
Well, something like that!
So I bought a colouring book, some crayons and a bar of chocolate, then lit a log fire. Excellent suggestions Brian!

Profound advice from Brainbox Brian.
P.S. Isn’t there a game called “BrainBox” any relation to Brainbox Brian?
Brian and brain are anagrams. Brillint writing.

I do believe there is, but I doubt there’s a connection as his version would be very boring! As for the anagram, well spotted, I wondered if anyone would notice!

I think Brian should get the drinks in, then maybe you’ll stay. Does the pub empty as he arrives?
Great picture you’ve created, I am attracted to the chocolate.

I imagine it did, I had a customer at my pub who did just that! Thanks, James.

I think Brainbox Brian would make me want more than chocolate and a fire. Perhaps a dram of whiskey. Well done.

If you’re doing what you love, it’s not a monochrome existence and if coloring, chocolate and a warm fire is what you love, go for it!

Hello Mate, Cute huh? Anyway, did I tell you my grandpa was from London (on my father’s side) my maiden name is Chamberlin & do you know what a Chamberlin is? It’s the King’s butler that dresses him! hahaha- At least that’s what I was told! On mom’s side my grandparents came here from Sicily… & I bet you were there too weren’t ya? Hmmm Anyway, got to get to bed, getting late. Sorry I didn’t make it here Wednesday… I usually poke around on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays!!! Love Wordless Wednesdays over at Steve’s! Well, have a nice weekend! I’m waiting for my Children 4 & families to descend upon me & the kids run across the street to the park (I don’t see them much, but maybe it’ll be nice & I will be there too). HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
