‘Mom was one of those unbelievably sly, influential drunks who could hook you in, all the while cutting you down. It was borderline sociopath, minus the murder.’

Quote Of The Week
‘My basic belief is that if you don’t profit from harm to anyone else, then you’re all right. You’re on the right track. When you perceive that your action is going to injure someone, you must avoid it. If harm does happen, you must try to mend it. If I can see harm coming to someone, then I won’t do or I won’t advocate it.’
The Smile
The smile
Can be many things
Cruel and sarcastic
Lopsided, elastic
Gently enigmatic
Dreamy and magic
Narcissistic, plastic
Absolutely fantastic
Sheepish, misted,
Wistful, twisted
Kissable
And kissed
Missable
And missed
Mean and grim
Smug little grin
A leer or a jeer
A curl, a snarl, a sneer
The smile can be over
Before it’s begun
A flash, a snapshot
See how they run
A painted on mask
Or sunny and sweet
The smile that lasts
Making crows feet
Not quite there
Or all over the face
As broad as a barn door
As warm as embrace
Someone can possess
The bubbly smile
Or one that makes you
Run a mile
Nasty and evil
Debauched and dire
Cool like an icicle
Melting a fire
The smile is like money
False or real
The smile can barter
Can give or steal
The smile to open up
Or to wear like a wall
The smile can be everything
Or nothing at all.
Do You Come Here Often?
Quote Of The Week
‘The dried up beds of old smiles.’
(Description of crow’s feet)
Killer Whites
Remember the killer whites? White flour/bread, sugar and salt?
Some people might say it’s a case of pareidolia but could my breakfast slice also be smiling while it kills?
Happy Birthday Gloria

Party time!
Coffee with Manilow
Just popped in for a coffee with Barry.
Happy Birthday Barry!
The Lighthouse
I’ll be the first thing on your mind
When you’re lost and cannot find
I’m not seen and often out of sight
You’ll only see me when there is no light
I will shine a beacon where there is none
To chase away the shadows ’til they’re all gone
I brighten darkest night for those at sea
Who will live to tell the tale
Because of me.
Quote Of The Week
‘Freedom was not in the mind or the imagination, but to be fought for, in the here and now.’
