World Wide Wednesday in Brazil
“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne
Enjoying the Solitude
A game of solitaire
In the fresh open air
Solitude and silence
This place, is priceless

World Wide Wednesday in Brazil
“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne
On the River Negro
On a slow boat
Down the moat…
(The needle on the record hops with a screeching sound)
“Sorry, wrong track!”
On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild
Fishes and dolphins
Jump up from the waters
The mermaids a calling
So lock up your fathers
No place for golfing
Only a trek for the trotters
On a slow little ship
Down the River Negro we slide
It’s just a short trip
Into the beyond and open wild

Storms in the Horizon
Looks like a storm is rising
With heavy hanging clouds in the horizon
“No worries, it’s just rain, not poison”
She said with an evil smile, quite surprising

Cloudy Skies
Cloudy skies with a chance of… meatballs?
Nope not here, just a little warm rain fall
So outside your respective derrières haul
And plays some Brazilian football…
It’s soccer, you sucker!

Day Break
The day is breaking
The world is waking
Window view, breathtaking
I can feel my whole body shaking
Now in the making
A few memories creating

Welcome to Manaus, Brazil
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
A glimpse of the dolphins
Can raise the endorphins

“If you’re going through hell, keep going” Winston Churchill
Quote a Week Tuesday dedication to Sir Winston Churchill
I have dedicated this week’s Quote a Week Tuesday to Sir Winston Churchill. The quotations chosen may help you through some tricky situations, as they have me!
My top ten list (in no particular order):
* “There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”
* “To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”
* “Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.”
* “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”
* “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
* “Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.”
* “You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
* “In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.”
* “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”
* “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”

Mundane Monday
“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge
Variations of a Theme
Same old song and dance
Oh, just give me a chance
I really like the view
It only shows for a few
Soon some snow will fall
And the pictures get more dull

Stairway Selfie
A familiar form
Maybe a little worn
From the window reflected
And in an image resurrected

Like the inside of a spleen
Or little figurines
