Those were the Days

Seven Fishermen.
Playboys of the Western World?
Perhaps Synge could tell.

Little Feet

Feet that soon will run
fast and faster . . . oh so fast.
How I love these feet.

Friday is Skyday

The frogs are croaking.
Refugees dying somewhere.
Beautiful sunset.

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




In 1975 Gwyn Thomas appeared on the Kane at Christmas programme. As these few brief excerpts show, it was a hilarious performance that is still fondly remembered by many to this day. Listen again to the great talker as he explains the dangers of Rugby, the funeral of Cliff Davies, the legend of the buried city of Kenfig, stolen false teeth,the problem with singing and the perils of adultery.

Friday is Skyday

No need to complain.
Slowly running out of time.
The sky will remain.

Strange Fruit

Partial(ly enjoyed) eclipse

My dad is teacher
master of experiments,
the joy of science.

The sun in my back
I slept better than ever.
And dreamed of . . .

But then I woke up.
Certainly more in South Spain
2026.

Monochrome Monday

Missed you. Where've you been?
There'd be a lot to tell.
Anyway, you're back.

Happy New Year

Same Procedure as Every Year

Snowball

You make the fire
and I'll show you something wonderful
a ball of snow

Du mach' Feuer,
und ich werd' Dir was Schönes zeigen:
einen Ball aus Schnee.

Matsuo Bashō

Merry Christmas

Frohe Weihnacht.
Und Frieden auf Erden.
Und den Menschen ein Wohlgefallen.
