FFO And Smiles

 

Yah, sorry bunny-dude.... let us simply stop being angry and join Nicole´s FFO!

Something to smile about for Annie´s:


And here is more!!


Some funnies now?









The series
 
"Typical habits of the 60s that would be unimaginable today
 

 Unsupervised children
 
When women began working instead of staying home, children were often left to fend for themselves, as both parents were busy with their work throughout the day."
 
My parents had their own shop, I was partially "shop-kid" and the rest... nobody knew where I was and nobody cared and sometimes I had my little Brother with me.
These days...
I don´t know what is better? You?
 
Henry 🦁 
 
 
Plan today anyways: Go see the dinos! Or... take the tram? At least not many people there, likely. Hey, Spring, where are you?

There is something called No-Mow-May, where people purposely don't mow their lawn in May to give the bees flowers to feed on and get stronger after the winter.
I love the password and the kid's menu. (I would probably choose I'm Not Hungry).
I have a watch but I don't have TikTok.
Yes, we used to have a lot of freedom. My younger sister and I played and roamed in the whole neighborhood. We had to come home when the streetlights came on. We also used the tram unaccompanied. And cycled to school unaccompanied (12 km) but often met friends on the way. I was born in 51, those were innocent years.
I love Henry's pose (with his legs crossed).
Enjoy your weekend,
Lisca

No-Mow-May sounds clever!! And if I wasn´t hungry... ;-)
There were some people from Australia, Ingo told me about: Get home when the streetlights...
Australia: 8 p.m. here... LOL.
Yes, innocent!!! These days media destroys a lot, I think, giving people bad ideas.
To enjoying, no matter the weather!

We mow part of the lawn but leave a big patch full of bluebells and other wild flowers, it's Alfie's favourite spot too. Your bunny doesn't look too happy, maybe he didn't get his chocolate egg. That's an interesting way to work the password too. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx

Ha-ha. A hot cross bunny (do you have ht cross buns where you are, or arethey an English tradition?).
I love thepart mowed lawn and I am sure the bees do too. Have a good week. Kate x

Iris Flavia said...

No bees, no life! And yay for Alfie, too. To a great weekend xXx

Iris Flavia said...

English tradition!!! Though atm I have a Vegemite sandwich!

River said...

I do love Supernatural and I love the rectangle of flowers left for the bees and I love pancakes which I had for breakfast, my son-in-law was the cook and we all enjoyed them.
I was unsupervised from the age of seven, dad was at work all day, mum had left us, but everyone in town knew who I was so if there was ever any trouble (there wasn't) they all knew to get my dad.

Iris Flavia said...

To Supernatural! And to bees. I still need to make pancakes (have a recipe by Jamie) - any advice on top?
Yes, I think I was 7, too, but no one ever knew where I was and I did dumb things (skateboard, roller-skates, bike.... bloody knees...)
But we´re all "here"! It was good times, hope you are fine, too!

Tom said...

...at first I thought that was Muskrat Rabbit with its chainsaw.

Annie said...

I laughed at the hot cross bunny…we love those. Your funnies made me smile so thank you.
Hugs,
Annie x

Also in Denmark we had the come home when the street lamps. Those were the days. I try to give my kids spme of th same freedom, but parental pressuer is a bother. Sending a daughter alone by train to Copenhagen, met with stares and harsh words. She was 9, dad picked her up at the station, she knew the way, it was 6 pm. A couple of months later we went to a city nigths in a nearby town. I went with my children (9 and 5) and met a lot of her classmates - unaccompanied! It was 10 pm, the fair had alcohol boots, and served "tasters" fore everybody, drugdealers are always at the station ... Since then I mostly followed my own advice.

I need to make a menu like that for my Mother. I would have to add "What do you want?" and make it something I can eat frequently. Ha ha.
I loved those unsupervised days where I could be gone for hours as long as I was home in time for meals.

My name is Erika. said...

I like the menu too, but it is sad we have to supervise children all the time now. I don't think people have gotten worse,but for some reason there's more bold or even stupid people out there. When I visited Japan you would see little children out along walking to school or elsewhere because it was sage and no one thought to take children. Have a super rest of your Friday and start to your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika

I just LOVE your Killer Easter Bunny!

Christine said...

Cute art and love the dandelion garden

Jeanie said...

Your bunny dud is perfect!

DVArtist said...

Poor bunny, but he is too cute. Love the funnies but I really like that you were a shop kid. There were six kids in my family, I'm the oldest we would leave the house in the morning and we just had to be back for dinner. This was summer time. No one worried where we were. It is so different now. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a nice weekend.

Iris Flavia said...

I´d rather call him Grumpy!

Iris Flavia said...

Who´s not cross at times? Hugs x

Iris Flavia said...

Your own advice is the best! One reason I have no kids...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, cool idea, huh?

Iris Flavia said...

I think media give people real bad ideas... Glad we are not like that, hugs and to a great time!

Iris Flavia said...

He says thank you! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

I saw a garden like that here today!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, bunny is happy now and yes, those were the SUMMERS!!! To a nice weekend, if kinda "cold"...

Bill said...

Love the bunny from hell. :)

Amypie71 said...

I do'nt think I've ever seen the supernatural series, I think my daughter watched it once when she was young but that's about it. Hope you've had a nice easter, it was very quiet for us.

RedPat said...

All the kids in our neighbourhood were out & about all day doing lots of things that kids these days aren't allowed to do. And we survived!

Iris Flavia said...

He says thank you, love ya back!

Iris Flavia said...

You should give Supernatural a go. And yes, quiet here, also!

Iris Flavia said...

So YES!!! But these days media help mad people to all kinds of ideas... scary.
