This day, April 28 in history, 1789

"As the first rays of a fiery dawn transverse the deck Bligh is brought up in his nightshirt with his hands tightly bound. Most of the crew are content to stand by and watch the interaction between the protagonists. Christian shouts, "Hold your tongue sir, or you are dead this instant." These next few moments will determine the course of the rest of their lives and the realisation makes some unsure, some bold, but causes the alarmed majority to huddle in groups so far away from the action as to appear separate - but still within earshot. A vacant space in the center of the panel is there as a reminder of the gulf that had developed in the relationship between Bligh and Christian. The painting is in the neo-classical style of an operatic tableau with the main actors positioned for maximum effect."

So good to hear from you Gayle. I know you have a lot to do in your garden, but I also know about your shoulder problems, so I wanted to be sure that you are ok. It's hard work watering all the new plants, so I understand that you are exhausted every evening. I don't know your age, but I feel the age too, 77, and often gets annoyed, not being able to do what I could before.
We are having drought in Denmark too. I haven't seen a drop of rain for about a month and a half. There are now restrictions at many places, no open fire, no charbroil, and no smoking outdoors. On Saturday I had to call the police, someone used fireworks😱
You don't have to post if you'r not fit for it, just give us a short Hi, from time to time.
Sending you a lot of hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗

thank goodness everything is going as well as can be expected. i had visions of you on the surgery table and then shuttled off to some re-hab somewhere!
we have had low water problem here as well, but finally some rain today. hopefully
you'll get more rain, also.
thanks Nev for keeping me in the loop

albertwinestein

Gayle, thanks so much for the report. I do hope you can get your shoulder back to the way it was, and that your life can return to normal once again.
Mike was very concerned about you too, and I said that I'd let him know if I hear anything. So I'll tag him to here, so that he can read your report too.
@onefootonepeel
I do hope the physical therapy helps your shoulder, and that you get more rain to lessen your work around the home.
Thinking of you. ♥♥♥
@olando has been worried about you too.

Bommom

Vips, Nev, and Mike, it's so kind of you to be concerned. I'm sorry I've been so remiss about tending to my jigidi duties. We haven't had rain since early May until finally yesterday we had a meaningful dump—maybe almost an inch of refreshing rain. So, all that time it seems I've passed the days repositioning hoses and carrying jugs of water to distant small trees that I've planted and hate to see dry up (two white pines, two Dawn Redwoods, and one silver maple) plus a slew of other plants and shrubs that were thirsty as can be. By the end of the day, which is often about 9 p.m. I'm all tuckered out.

Forgive me for being such a dud. Just before the rain came, I spread about a pound and a half of wildflower seeds on two large areas that weren't quite ready for the seeds but I figured it was now or never. If we have passed the dry spell, which I highly doubt, I might have a photo or two a couple of months from now.

My shoulder is being the royal pain in the posterior that shoulders sometimes can be. I've started physical therapy two times a week and am hoping it will conquer the discomfort. It makes for fitful sleep during the night so my days often leave me feeling dead tired. I guess that's what getting old is all about. :-/

A few times I've snuck on jigidi just to push a few puzzle pieces around on the screen before grabbing a nap, but haven't found the time or enthusiasm to try to find artwork or descriptions in order to post puzzles. Perhaps any day now the tables will turn and I'll feel a bit more like getting back in the posting groove.

Thanks so much for checking in.

albertwinestein

Gayle, both Mike (onefootonepeel) and I are becoming quite worried about you. Do let us know that you are O.K. ♥♥♥

@Bommom
Hi Gayle. How are you doing? Is it getting better with your shoulder? I do hope so, and hopefully the reason why you haven't been here for long, is gardening, and not pain.
Please send a few words. Hugs Vips

olando

@Bommom
Hope you are feeling better Gayle. Sending you a big hug🤗

Bommom

Robb White's book is lots of fun. He built many small boats over the years for various clients. The center of the book has a photo of a beautiful woman carrying one of the boats he built and the caption below the photo just says something to the effect, "Prince Charles is carrying the oars."

If you can ever get your hands on a copy (your nearby library might be the best place), you'll have lots of laughs.

olando

@Bommom
Thanks Gayle, I could hardly stop laughing when I read about Rob White😂😂😂

well, plastic can be warm....

Bommom

Thanks, Mike. I found a 30-minute Eldoa class on youtube. Perhaps I'll give it a try.

John, you've painted the perfect picture. Vips and I will be standing on the dock waiting for you to haul yourself out of the cold water, speedo, and all, covered in flotsam. In fact, Mike can even join us in your welcome. Don't give us a bear hug with that rancid butter slathered all over you. A good belly laugh is good for one's health.

Your Commando comment reminds me of Robb White's book, 'How to Build a Tin Canoe.' He tells of a time he was working on a tugboat in the Mississippi River and decided one night that he'd like to visit the King Tut exhibit at a museum in New Orleans. It was near Mardi Gras time. He knotted his money in a sock and held it between his teeth. He took off all his clothes, put them in a plastic bucket, and eased into the mighty, muddy Mississippi, swimming toward the shore. He kept his bucket floating ahead of him.

That is, until the wake of a passing barge stole his bucket right out from under his nose. When he reached the shore, naked as a jaybird, he dug around in the dark in all the rubbish washed up on the bank. As luck would have it, he found a plastic shower curtain, wrapped it around his shivering self, and headed down the busy road—thumb out looking for a ride.

As cars whizzed past, lots honked their horns without stopping. People leaned out windows, cheering him on. It was a long time before a car finally stopped. As he climbed in, at last, he saw that he had hidden his buck-naked ass in a crystal-clear curtain.

Glad to hear you are on the mend, Gayle. I was worried as well, that you hadn't posted in a bit, and was scared something happened to you! Thanks for the update all!

@Bommom @olando
Hey Ladies Gayle n Vips
Thanks for keeping me informed
Got a bit concerned, Glad it's not overly serious
Hope its's not to painful!
Long time since I was a Commando
But
Formal sailor's evening dress!
Life jacket, Sail Tie, n flip-flops,
Oh + speedo's n googles
(could be embracing getting out of the cold water otherwise)
Slap on a couple of pounds of rancid butter
Catch the Westerly setting tide out of the Solent and
Should be with you in time for the sun over the yard arm and Up Grog.
Keep smiling
Best wishes John
ps Vips, it's wicked laughing at a man getting out of the cold water ;}}

Gayle, another thing you might look into are Eldoa Exercises. my sister swears by them, she goes twice a week. she is 73 (but don't tell her i said so!) her teacher is almost as old as she is

Bommom

Pat, I'm glad to hear that your trees have bounced back after being hit by a severe freeze at the wrong time. I was so disheartened but now you have given me hope. A huge redbud tree really had the life knocked out of it, it'll be a welcome sign to see it and the other trees pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Mike, thanks for that suggestion. I've ordered a pulley cord from Amazon for $11. It'll be here Monday. My arm will be working like a charm by Tuesday or by Christmas or who knows when.

Vips, it's always more fun to look at life through rose-colored glasses so I try to keep a sense of humor to keep me going. It's neat to hear you're enjoying your garden. If the weather would cooperate the way we normally expect, we'd be able to enjoy watching the various plants go through their stages without Mother Nature messing it up.

Have you ever grown Lungwort or Pulmonaria? Today I was just enjoying the flowers on some clumps by my mailbox and marveling that they've been blooming for more than six weeks now. They love partial shade and over time will spread nicely but are not invasive.

@Bommom

So glad to hear from you Gayle. Well, I,m not glad to hear about the shoulder problems, hope the doctor will find the reason, and can do something about it without an op. Hope the xrays will give the answer. A positive thing is, you haven't lost your sense of humor, I can imagine John climbing ashore in New York😅

Sorry to hear that you have also had frost, it is a big problem for the plants, and the animals. I do hope the night frost will stop now, seems that we don't get spring anymore. The weather has been fine the last two days, so I've been in the garden too. My garden is very small, but I love it.

Sending you warm thoughts and hugs🤗

Gayle, i had some pains in my shoulders. i couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders. my brother gave me a pulley with a cord strung thru it. hook the pulley from some [point on the ceiling or other high place. with an end in each hand, pull down with your right hand and your left hand goes over your head. reverse. passive exercise will stretch those tendons, and hopefully relieve your pain

As you might imagine, where I am, further north, that late, killing frost occasionally happens. So, too, does an occasionally very bad outburst of canker worms, which may eat up all the new leaves of a tree. It's definitely stressful for the tree, but usually--if the tree is well-established and doesn't have a recent history of other stressors as well--ours manage to send out new leaves just as you're sadly sure it just isn't going to happen... (I think they're a little like humans that way!) Hope that rejuvenation happens for you, Gayle!...And for your shoulder too...

Bommom

Thank you, John and Vips for your caring concern. I really didn't mean to abandon you. I've been trying to take advantage of some pleasant spring weather and get some outside work done. By the time I finally sit down in my chair, I'm generally too beat to muster puzzles together to post.

Curiously, I've developed shoulder pain in my right shoulder and arm. If I try to solve a puzzle, the pain will crank up and get rather nasty. Because of that, I've also been avoiding jigidi. I end up having sleepless nights and find myself catching a couple of long catnaps in the chair during the day.

Went to the doctor on Wednesday and he thinks it might be a problem with my spine/neck since the pain will go from my shoulder to my thumb and sometimes up to my ear. He thinks it's not a muscle problem. Had xrays taken today and am planning to set up some physical therapy sessions to see if something can be done without going under the knife.

Our weather has been strange here, too. The night before last our temperature went down to 20 ºF or -6.667 ºC. The poor trees had just sent out their new leaves for the year and a couple of English oaks, a white oak, and a pin oak look like they might not bounce back. I also think a butter-yellow magnolia tree is too far gone. It will be interesting to see if they send out new leaves again or if I just chalk it up to a lost cause.

John, if you no longer have boats for your transportation, you can always swim the Atlantic from Southampton to the dock in New York City and then hitchhike west about 120 miles or 193.121 kilometers. By then your clothes should be dry. I'll put you to work when you get here. You can help me plant new trees to replace the ones that the late frost got.

Actually, your and Vips' well wishes have been more than enough to cheer me on. Thanks! ;-))

NononcenceJohn

Hey Orlando
Thanks! Would appreciate it! Will reciprocate!
Surprised about your weather!
Been led to believe that everything in Denmark is always
Fedt! ;}
Stay Happy
John

@NononcenceJohn
Hi John. I hope we'll hear from Gayle soon. If I hear anything, I'll tag you.
Thank you for your concern, I'm fine in spite of the cold spring in Denmark😉 Hope you are fine too.

NononcenceJohn

Hey Gale
Hope all's well for you
and letting you know we're thinking of you
Echoing Orlando's thoughts and hope to hear from you soon
If there's anything I can do,
but difficult to get over, can't find a bus or train to you from Southampton UK ;}
Love & Best wishes John

@olando
Noticed your message to Gayle
A bit concerned myself
If you hear anything from her I'd appreciate knowing
Many thanks and stay well yourself

olando

@Bommom

Hi Gayle. I miss you, hope you are ok🤗

NononcenceJohn

In it's defence I would say, given the limitations, it is as good as could be constructed and set on a stage
It would have a great effect at setting the scene for the play
The audience would be given a great ambiance
Increasing the drama and romance of the performance
(that most believe exists on a sailing ship)
Which is what the painting is really portraying
So Congratulations Gayle & the Artist
and Thank You for the posting and further information
Best wishes John

It does look an awful lot more like a stage than a ship, doesn't it? Even has a classic proscenium arch!

NononcenceJohn

Well posted Gayle!
Possibly the only occasion that
"Artistic licence" (In the Extreme)
Is acceptable to an old Salt ;}}
But there again wouldn't suffer from
La "Mal de mare"
Best wishes John

Bommom

Thanks, all, for enjoying Mutiny on the HMS Bounty. I found myself going down the rabbit hole when I put together this puzzle. Even read all about the replica Bounty that was lost at sea during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Interesting links, articles and tip-off to Luis Marden...Thanks!!

these guys look really young

albertwinestein

Is The Wreck of the Bounty still visible?

In 1957, photographer and explorer Luis Marden made the extraordinary discovery of the remains of the Bounty, still visible in shallow water off the shores of Pitcairn, more or less undisturbed for a century and a half. (F...book.com)

Thanks, Gayle.

olando

Very dramatic. Thanks Gayle.

Read the book, seen the film…but these colours are truly stunning. And another time in history bites the dust. Amazing, thank you for sharing. 🥰🇬🇧
