Laughing Lhursday*

Fortune favours fools,
or as a German saying goes,
"Die dümmsten Bauern
ernten die größten Kartoffeln."
/
"The dumbest farmers
harvest the biggest potatoes".

Once again I feel relieved. 

* [For first time visitors]: Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

    1. And I shall be smiling when in a minute I am to put my head on its pillow.

  2. Being a very poor farmer (I can't grow anything but crabgrass and weeds), I wonder if I'd get any potatoes at all.

    1. There grow even smaller ones in Seanhenge, dear Carme. ;-)
      Others would ignore them and throw away; I collect them, and at the end they give a nice meal:
      Sesame lightly roasted without fat, some butter added, the tiny potatoes tossed and served with herbed curd cheese and some freshly picked tomatoes and salad. Delicious.

    1. Ha ha, Paula. The book's title would then be:
      "Els viatges de Seaniver". ;-)
