Anecdote Time (BEST OF 2016)

Posted in BEST OF 2016

“As we grow older, our bodies get shorter and our anecdotes longer” Robert Quillen

Anecdote Time

Never judge a book by its cover. A paperback can be just as entertaining as hardcover.

If you want to dwell in the past, buy yourself a time machine.

You have to learn how to walk before you can run. I found out that the hard way after my hip-surgery.

Looking into a mirror is like… Well, you obviously need to take a selfie!

Time, time, precious time, where have you gone? Don’t tell me, you lost your watch again?

In my youth, the grass was always greener, food tasted better and life was much happier… Then we woke up and put the dog out to pee.

Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes… Be damned sure they are the same size as your own ones!

Today, I woke up, the day was stormy, the skies were gray, my mind felt dull... Well, you can’t always expect to be in the tropics, now can you Dearie?

Don’t do as I do, do as I say! Apparently, you can get away with murder?

People who are smart, beautiful and talented… Really piss me off!

The Turn of the Year

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right”
Oprah Winfrey

The Turn of the Year

Colourful burst of light
Against the darkness
Of the night
The clocks are churning
The new year is turning
Time for a new hope
And a new future

Snow Day for Daily Photo (three)

Posted in Daily Photo: Photography, Poetry

“And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean

Snow Day 

Still growing strong
After a very long
Cold and hard winter
“Ha, you said you were going to be the splinter
But we won this sprint eih!”

“And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean

Snow Day 

The wind
But a whisper
In the winter’s shiver
When crossing
The frozen river

Snow Day for Daily Photo (two)

“And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,
and all the land will be mantled with snow”
Roy Bean

Snow Day 

Huddled together
Without a tether
In this freezing weather
They are still glued
To each other

Seat in the Shade for Seat Sunday

Posted in Seat Sunday: Photography and Poetry

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Seat in the Shade

The scorching sun
Leaves you burning
Like an overcooked bun
Hoping the sun to fade
Trying to find shade
From this seat
In the shade

New Beginnings

Posted in Holiday Celebration

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book,
waiting to be written.
We can help write that story by setting goals”
Melody Beattie

New Beginnings

Out with the old, in with the new
May all your dreams, hopes and wishes
For the year 2017 come true!

OK, no more time to stall
So wishing:
Happy New Beginnings to One and All!

Caturday: Continued Adventures of Mr Diesel and Ms Vänster

Nope, not a punter,
But,
A wanna be hunter
No time for banter
I have a plan here
I am going to be a mini vampire!

“I am the king of the hill
Come near me if you will
You may be in for a thrill
Because I got some skills
Yes, a feast I will cook
For you on the grill!”

“What did you think I meant?”

The three of us
Are resting our butts
On this nice couch
There is no fuss
Just trust
Between
The three of us
