Farm labourers

By Jim Sheng
This land is now owned by a farmer called Lovely Earth, Wrong compost has been put on the land by the previous farmer , Now he has to clear up the white rubbish, cost millions worth. The environmental inspector will be here, so come on labourers! Four men and a girl in a rolls, with safety boots and gloves, and black bag. Two British, one Polish, one Chinese, and the black man from Congo. They bend down and pick up plastic bags, toothbrushes, and bottle caps. Walking down to the hedge and back like plantation slavery Negro. It's a nice day with bright sunshine and gentle breeze blowing on the face, The tranquil dale far from bustling city, a pleasant green land with tall trees,  Bird twittering, cows mooing, and lambs grazing on the far hill with grace, The labourers take the break eating their sandwiches and drinking teas. "Oh, my leg's killing me!" the Polish girls complains, Picking rubbish on a farm is boring an...

It's a Level 30 bear!

By
I usually tell Brenda a bed time story when we are in bed and just before falling sleep. I was tired the other day. When Brenda asked for a story, I said 'I've told so many stories to you, now it's your turn. Tell me something.' 'Okay, then', she thought for a while and told me a bear hunt story. It originated from the nursery rhyme: Going on a bear hunt. Going to catch a big one. I'm not afraid. Look, what's up ahead? Mud! Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Can't go around it. Gotta go through it. ... Going on a Bear Hunt Going to catch a big one. I'm not afraid Look, what's up ahead? Ohh it's a dark cave I can't see anything I can feel something I can hear something Oh it's a bear RUN! (Reverse all motions quickly to get home.) She made some interesting changes to the story. She was hunting bears with all her friends at the nursery. She fi...

Spider population seems decline this year

By Jim Sheng
Large spider webs were everywhere in my garden last summer, but I haven't seen any so far this year. Some tiny web or several strings hanging on the washing line. I remembered that my daughter wanted some pets, such as cute dog, or cuddly cat or even a pony. I suggest that she can have spider as pet, because she doesn't know how to clean up dog poo, or gives cat a bath; she can't take dog out for a walk alone, because it is very dangerous to cross the road to the park, and too expensive to keep a pony.  But I found many big spiders inside my house this year, one huge spider even crawled over my mouse and then moved to the table corner and  down along table leg, then went to hide somewhere. I wonder why spider population declines. Will it boom next year?

Yin and Yang of the intro theme of Eastenders

By Jim Sheng
The more I look at the intro theme of BBC soap Eastenders, the more perfect it seems that the shape and curve of the River Thames has been chosen and shot, and the millennium dome is just on the right place! I don't know if anybody have been ever aware that the shape of two side of riverbank implies intercourse of Yin and Yang? A male and a female or two males holding together? The first shot in 1985 used a miniature model of London and the River Thames, then we got a true to life birds'eye camera shot of the same sequence in 1993. With the flowing of music, the picture moves and turns, on one head the millennium dome, and on the other head are two adjacent parks, one big and the other small, or you may focus on just one side of the river, then you make out that one recess, and the other protrude. With the developing of the fighting for love plot between Syed and Christian, you may now confidently apply this intro scene to two man. I have never feel comfortable...
