Rose Hips for Daily Photo

Red and delicious
But also treacherous
Brew a pot of tea
Even use as a medicine
But try not to get them on your skin
Or you’ll be itching
From here to December!

“Your best teacher,
Is your last mistake”

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-09-20

For this week’s quote, a little reminder, that nothing is more important, than to push on:

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
Winston Churchill

Monday for Mundane Monday

“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think”
Jim Gaffigan

Metal, Wood, Clouds and Sky

metal-clouds-sky-sun

The four elements of nature,
Or as defined by us lowly creatures:

Metal: Heavy music, or durable material for construction
Wood: Good for building and nice for shade
Clouds: Fluffy and white, but sometimes grey
Sky: Blue, if you are lucky, grey if it rains

Precipice

If you want to jump in
Mind the glass
It’s a long way down
So, just remember
Not to land on you ass

Happy International Angela Lansbury Appreciation Day (18th of September)!

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury

Long Live Dame Angela!

She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more

Office Home and Away for Seat Sunday (Two)

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years”
Frank Lampard

Office Home and Away for Seat Sunday

A seat in the sun
Office life, filled with fun
But wouldn’t you rather
Dig around and discover
What secrets are hidden
Even though it may be forbidden
At least during office hours?

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years”
Frank Lampard

Office Home and Away for Seat Sunday

A home office seat
Far a way from the heat
A quaint little corner
Filled with four borders
A room filled with order
No place for the explorer
But hard work
By the wage earner

Half-Moon and Red Sky for Daily Photo

Lurking
Behind the red clouds

When you ask
“I am just working”
The moon man says smirking

And shines on
For yet another night

King of the mountain
King of the hill
Or in this case
King of this castle
Or at least this chair!

Yeah, it’s my face
Love it or don’t
But I know I’m really cute
And you cannot really
Resist me!
