MONA LISA IN SHOCK , BLOOD FLOWS

 

The enigmatic espression  on  Mona Lisa's face has been  interpreted in many ways . After   a hectic   day  in  which  nearly  all the   books  and  most of the bookshelves were  removed   from the  cluttered   Little Darwin den   by  a  dynamic  team from  the   Magnetic Island   Men's Shed , she  could be seen as    uttering   Gorblimey !, Holy moly ! ,even  Strewth ! in disbelief .

Our Mona cost a fortune at a garage sale. Why did we not   buy the unique  shell  mermaid  for  the  Shipping  Reporter ?

Like the deckchairs on the Titanic, the  filing cabinets  were  also   rearranged  so that the    den is now cavernous  , could  be  turned into  a  B and  B .

The  clearance , naturally  , was painful,  not only due to the   sight of  seeing all those beloved  books  go but  because droves of    blood -sucking    March Flies  which   attacked  , causing much  slapping .  This  decrepit  writer , on blood thinners , attracted   frequent  sucking , blood   flowed  .  Cans  of  repellant were   flown  in .
