Of course, I could imagine one of his eyes twinkling when reading my dear friend James' (*) comment on last week's 'Wordy Wednesday'.
* Is it too much to call 'a' blogger your friend? - This, readers, is worth a post of itself, would you agree? :)
As this *idea* came - as most of my ideas - spontaneously - it would not be suprising, had you to remind me of this; in case you are interested in my thoughts/convictions. :)
Anyway, here's Wordy Wednesday IV. And again I do hope you will enjoy; and again I do ask you to leave comments on those posts you like (or dislike), 'cause (your) comments are the salt in the soup of any post. :)
Prodicus can be sure that I shall pinch this very post, but before doing so it's my pleasure linking to his site.
No, I do not agree to every detail he is posting about, but he's what I do call 'unique'.
In order to preparing you for what you are going to read:
I read the first part to Mrs. J, then stopped as if it were the end.
Her one word-comment: 'Impressive.'
Then I added the rest.
Mrs J: 'Sean, it's good to know you have an alibi. This would have been very embarrassing for me and the whole family.'
I, myself: Laughing and laughing and laughing.
Now you know a little more about my sense of humour, let's get a bit serious:
The Old Brit about a man I once (around 1990) tended to 'admire', until I started to learn that he has his personal Blairney stone (not to mix up with the Blarney Stone): Tony Blair.
Call me lazy: But here is another one by the Old Brit.
Ah, Ben Hur, ah Soylent Green; and despite I could go on praising the actor: here is the title I call the best of this week, made by Colin Campbell your host at the Adelaide Green Porridge Cafe. :)
No poem today? No. But a painting - by Fabian Perez**. Which one? Ah, difficult to decide. Actually, I should like to show you four. But as a copy of Dali's 'Girl in the window' (the fifth painting when you are scrolling) is hanging in our front building - I chose this one:
** Hat tip Sandra Singh at Internation Musings.
Remains a question to myself, tonight: Am I playing with Death, or is Death playing with me?
The Peace of the Night.
Dear Sean,
ReplyDeleteShall I make a comment in lovely highschule Deutsch..))
Prodicus is one of the best.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Wednesday, Sean. You are getting right into the swing of it. I loved the works of Fabian Perez.
ReplyDeleteNow the peace of the night to me.
Glad to know that you like the 'Old Brit'.
ReplyDeleteI visit the 'Old Brit' and 'Postman Patel' regularly.
Like you Sean, I once thought that Tony Blair was admirable, but not any more.
Someone once made a comparison ... that nominating Tony Blair as a Peace Broker to the Middle East is like nominating a mosquito to find a cure for malaria.
Hans,
ReplyDeleteMark van Bommel hat schon wieder Rot gesehen. :)))
James,
this deserves a litotes: You are not wrong there. :)
jmb,
you are very kind. :)
Glad you liked Fabian's gallery.
Oh well, and your last sentence gave me a big smile. :)
Ardent,
interesting to learn you are also visiting these two. :)
A mosquito would definitively be not amused being compared to Tony Blair. :)
the artist reminds me of jack vettriano
ReplyDeleteSean, thanks for putting me on to some great new blogs (new to me that is...)
ReplyDeleteGood hint, Chris. Thanks. Would you pay 86.000 for a Vettriano? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this feedback, Jams. I wonder who's 'a new great blog' for you?
Perez is a fabulous painter - love his works a great deal.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your picks and usually end up 6 or 7 blogs deep before sighing and logging off :)
Lady Janice,
ReplyDeleteI 'knew' you'd like the painting(s). And, although I perhaps should, I am not unhappy my picks are able to keep you from your work. :)
Thanks a lot, and an inspiring week to you.
