An August beginning

On the last day of July - thus yesterday -, after lunch sitting on balcony enjoying a mug of coffee, a finger-rolled (sic) fag and a certain chapter in Pessoa's 'Book of Unrest', I got a tiny bit distracted by some flies and butterflies jetting around my head, as if drugged up to their eyeballs like the saying goes about certain US-Airforce-pilots. Thus, I went downstairs, soon got ...


 
to the bottom of the phenomenon and decided ...

to leave the cherries to Seanhenge's Air Force
but
allow myself ...

to start August with a plain pleasure.

  2. Somehow Fernando doesn't seem to belong in this lushy, rustling, buzzling, singing scenery. It will do him good...

    Santé à toute vie à Seanhenge!

  3. This remark, dear Susan,
    does not lack of accuracy. :)

    Claude,
    unrest and rest - the right mixture makes life interesting.
    I'd only open the Book of Unrest when (feeling) myself being in a state of relaxed serenety.

    PS: After enjoying the taste of one glass of Guinness I'd not jetting around Seanhenge like certain (butter-)flies.
    The 'plain pleasures' included the re-reading of some remarkable short-stories, watching the night-sky, listening to the silence, writing down some thoughts and ... enjoying the pain after another 60 push-ups adding nine to surrender ... only to laugh afterwards - "Aua aua aua, whereto has vanished my power. :-))))))))))

  4. Talking about push-ups, remember your promise, Popeye. Douce nuit, mon ami!
