How the war against Ukraine can immediately be ended.

With Putin, his North Korean mate, Lavrov, Medvedev, Xi and co. on the front line, the war against Ukraine would be over immediately. Because those miserable human beings would be scared for their miserable lives.

4. Oktober 1582

Ah, 4th October 2024! Exactly 442 years after in 1582 the Gregorian calendar of Pope Gregory XIII was introduced in Catholic countries, which is why the 4th was immediately followed by the 15th of October.
No 5th, no 14th of October.
13th of October? So when was I born?
Maybe I wasn't born at all?
Very interesting. ;-)

The Morning after the Deluge

The Morning after the Deluge
Moses Writing the Book of Genesis

Moses? Writing the Book of Genesis? The Morning after the deluge?
Ha!
Turner 181 years ago but anticipated a humble villager sitting in a world full of war & terror, severely emptied of love and empathy; a world of hatred, extreme stupidity, selfishness and I! I! I!
Knowing that he would not be able to change everything this humble villager would not write the Book of any Genesis but just write down a tiny dream:
All machos of planet Earth, including all Taliban and the King of Saudi Arabia, his complete entourage including judges and clergy being sent from the desert into devils' kitchen where they are getting preferential treatment: Heaviest swearboarding which would not end before these ... hm ... these "gentlemen" would promise with immediate effect to veil their faces up til infinity and silently walk four steps behind their wives whilst lugging the shopping bags.

A nice view

The vetches are a nice view these days
when looking up while turning a page. ;-)

Butterflies Dorado

These days one can see why summer lilac is also called butterfly bush.

Several peacock butterflies, swallowtails and others
are frequenting this one.

Typo in the title?
Nah. It's just that I would not
let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Feast for the eyes

Friday is Skyday

On a hot Friday afternoon
with a cup of coffee and a good book
sitting in the shade of apple and plum tree
I felt I am privileged.

Roof drama in Seanhenge.

 

After her tinopeners new roof  had been finished today,
Poesy obviously wanted to inspect
the whole thing from across the road
and suddenly found herself sitting on our roof.

Oh horror! And now how to get down again?

So daughter climbed into the attic, opened the hatch,
hung out a blanket ...

... and tongue snapping lured the cat to safety .
Phew! What excitement ;-)

Blimey!

17 years!

Smombies

Once upon a time, entering a pub one could meet people talking to eachother. Nowadays:

21:27
Lonesome elderly smombie

21:27
Four smombies,
three of them sitting "together",
whilst – hear hear! – a waitress listens to a customer.

21:38
Two more addicts.

21:42
How did people survive with but one ringtone?

 

Oh, and this goes, "of course", also for women ...

 

Today five years ago

Exactly 20:58.
Even five years later, my mouth is watering.

Friday is Skyday

. . .

On the road

Heading southwards ...

Happy New Year!

May the best in 2023 be the worst in 2024.
After all, it's okay to wish, eh?
