Beauty of Friendship

The beauty of
the
old,
longstanding,
true
friendships

is
that

one
does
not
have
to do
the spiel
of
re-acquaintaining

at
all –
but

get straight
to
the
point
where

continue
from
there
even
further
on!

THANK
YOU
MY
DEAR
FRIENDS !!

FINNISH LANGUAGE:
Finnish language belongs to a family of languages, the Finno-Ugric Group of languages with Estonian, Hungarian and [...]

Go Spare & Other Irishisms

“COMEDY IS ABUNDANCE OF LIFE.”
Patrick Kavanagh said the above and also this: “To write lively verse or prose, to be involved with comedy, requires enormous physical and mental power. The more energy is in a poem or prose work, the more comic it is.” (Collected Prose*)
As you may know, the Irish are brilliant at making [...]

On The Pink Sofa – Let’s Talk: Books

I made this collage to go with the theme I have in mind, which is to sit down on the sofas like I would do with a friend at home, a cuppa in the hand and we would just nat away. Yep, typical for the female of the species. Mind you, when the men [...]
