I hope that is not the case.
Oh well.
Reason
‘The vast majority of human beings are not interested in reason or satisfied with what it teaches’.
Aldous Huxley
Nihil est sine ratione. Nothing is without reason. There is no reason for everything. Nothing happens without a reason.
Gottfried Leibnez
Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those that dare not, are slaves.
Lord Byron
I miss typed posies too! Such nostalgia!
hi ciderM - did the fires affect you - we were all concerned!~
Byron
It is the hour
It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale’s high note is heard;
It is the hour – when lover’s vows
Seem sweet in every whisper’d word;
And gentle winds and waters near,
Make music to the lonely ear.
Each flower the dews have lightly wet,
And in the sky the stars are met,
And on the wave is deeper blue,
And on the leaf a browner hue,
And in the Heaven that clear obscure
So softly dark, and darkly pure,
That follows the decline of day
As twilight melts beneath the moon away.
I was browsing through a book of quotatioons .
Love this one .
“It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”
Dolly Parton, referring to herself.
Or this
“I like your opera. I think I will set it to music.”
Composer Ludwig van Beethoven, slapping another composer to the curb.
I haven’t snuffed it after all folks
Hello Young Robert, you have been really missed.
I have that book, here beside me.
I posted some quotes the other day.
Here is another for you.
‘To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it’
George Bernard Shaw
Never thought for a moment you did RJ, nobody gets out of scribbles that easy.;-)
Great to hear from you again mo chara.
The bit about the Pigs gathering straws into their mouths a few pages back reminded me of a friend of mine who worked in a big hotel here in Dublin in the 70’s.
Lee Marvin was staying in the hotel while they were filming a few scenes in town, Marvin was a devil for the drink so in order to keep him sober they had him stay in his room with the door locked until they needed him.
Marvin rang the desk and asked for my mate by name, he got him to bring up a bottle of Jack Daniels and a few straws, when he got to the door with the gargle Marvin supped half of the bottle through a straw inserted into the keyhole while my mate held the bottle to the door, when he had enough he pushed a fifty dollar bill back out to my waiter friend. When the crew called for Marvin he was in great form and the filming was completed without a hitch. True story.
Though he was born under a wandering Star, he couldn’t resist the lure of the jar.
“The prettiest Girl I ever saw, was sipping cider through a straw” wasn’t that a song?
Not sure yet…but may be popping back to Shetland for a while.
Seems the little ar~ewipes I have to call cousins have been attempting to break the law again. I really do NOT need this cr4p-they’re in charge of the estates,so why the HELL do they want more. Time to snap some bones,methinks…
Oh no not again!!!
Keep calm Pugsy.
I will email you. x
Yes,again.
I GAVE those greedy bars…ds managership of one estate each-but it seems that isn’t enough. The free house,free power,free rates,free vehicle that goes with their jobs isn’t,it seems,enough.
So SOD it…this time,they FACE me.
And I just might/likely will,sack the PAIR of them,Sweetie.
I’ve had enough of being the absent boss…so F*CK it,I’m heading back.
[I’ll email you later,hon]
You need to give them a couple of acres.
I would take it if you gave me the whole bloody island - now the lost Isle of St Kilda is more to my likin!
I tink we’ll likely make this the valentine tribute!
Just nipped in to see what is happening.
Valentine’s Day tomorrow here Gummy.
You get the best of both worlds. X
