I have a dream

Now that like many others Africa's Referee of the Year has also been barred from entering the land of the presidential sex offender and his cronies in military and ministries, a few words about the upcoming Football World Cup.

I have a dream: 46 nations will decline to participate. Then the convicted sex offender and the most honorable FIFA Peace Prize awardee can both get ready, and each lead their glorious nation into the final as captain. USA vs. Switzerland-Infantilo.

Win-win situation for all:
The other millionaires in shorts would finally have a summer break worthy of the name and also time to get two meaningful statements tattooed on both buttocks.

Fuck corruption! & Fuck Fascism!

Won't happen. I know. 
And no, I feel no sympathy for those who are stupid enough to throw their honestly earned money down the throats of criminal organisations.

Instead of a political rant

Hazel in April sun.
By now, there are more leaves. ;-)

Roses.

Sage galore.

Hydrangea petiolaris.

Voilà:
Future elderflower liqueur. ;-)

Lots of cherries this year?

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

For sad reason

Sometimes I wish I were but a humble gardener
with love for literature and poetry
who does not read the news.

Striking resemblance

According to my absolutely credible source*, the great-grandmother* of her informant* these days feels 'more and more reminded of an Austrian-born loudmouth whenever she has the displeasure of listening to the both moronic and perverse convicted sex offender, whose election to the White House reveals a great deal about character and intelligence quotient of both his admirers and brown-nosing sycophants'.

To which I replied: Your informant's great-grandmother compares the future ex-US president and first and only FIFA Peace Prize Winner to Adolf Hitler? 

To which my absolutely reliable source replied: ‘Moreover, amongst others she does also call him a megalomaniac war-criminal who shits on any law, the international inclusive.'

It is fragrant all around Seanhenge

On the lower balcony, the climbing hydrangea is fragrant,

while jasmine and ...

... elderflowers perfume the front.

And the roses ...

... are a delight to behold

Cold

On the road

It's become wintery again
