It was one of my favourites as a child. Those who may never have heard of it he was a fella who lived at number 52 Festive road London who went visiting a fancy dress shop and the owner (a Fez wearing man with a moustache ) gave him a costume and then Mr Benn left the shop by a magic door at the rear to have an adventure based on the consume he was wearing. Of course each story carried its own moral - so all good stuff and made me the man I am today. Interesting if slightly controversial observation that somewhat explains my approach to such things... he never dressed up as a woman as I recall ?
Anyhow during our lockdown times I feel I have worn a few different costumes....
- Film director
- IT consultant
- Delivery driver
- Gardener
- Electrician
- Joiner
- Cleaner
- Cyclist
- Walker
- Motorcycle repair man
- Charity worker
- Children's entertainer
- Painter
- Photographer
- Mechanic
- Cook
- Landscape gardener
- Builder (chimney repair)
- Scaffolder (never took a tower scaffold down before)
- .... plus no doubt quite a few more to come yet !
So its good times despite the restrictions. Life is what you make of it.
If you have not made somebody's day happier, if you've
not appreciated something good that has happened to you and you have not felt thankful for being alive, then you have wasted that day of your life on earth.
