Episode 35 - Hardy Kruger - South African?

My wife is on the laptop in the kitchen - doing a forensic degree case.

I'm in the lounge, glugging my way through a bottle of Hardy's wine (I care not what type it is - Merlot? maybe...)

Anyhoo, hence the Hardy Kruger reference.

Strange - Hardy Kruger played a kaffir hating mercenary in Wild Geese (film) who died for a black man, eventually. Why am I mentioning this? Well, its a Hardy thing.

Judge the man (or woman) by his (her) deeds, not by anything else. Talking bollocks is easily done. The guy in Wild Geese did the right thing in the circumstances - see that? circumstances - "c" sounding like an "s" - sircumstances, hard becoming snake like in its "ssss". After all, you don't say sunt in the height of displeasure, do you?

No, you say c**t.

English is so strange, Here endeth the lesson.

G'night.

Interlude - Should you or shouldn't you?

I've just had an e-mail froma complete stranger, to which I responded.

No harm, I suppose but they could be mad? Chating can't harm, eh?

Just finished delivering human resource training in work. Am I the dullest man alive?

Possibly, but not as dull as the twats I've dealing with for the last three weeks.

Episode 34 - New Horizons?

Doing this blog has been interesting so far. Cathartic.

It has helped me express myself and it has helped me focus, too.

If anything the future has more in store for me on a creative level than it ever did. I'm not saying that I'm going to be the next this or that, but I am saying that I've rediscovered a bit of me that has laid dormant for too long.

Happiness is creativity. Its part of the human condition. We create and we are pleased with what we have done - hence happiness. We can't all be Rembrandt or Tchaikovsky, or Anthony Hopkins or Richard Burton, David Baily or Henry Moore. But in our own small ways we can reach out to others by our ability to create.

Yes, I'm waffling. But I see the way ahead is clear and I know what I must do.

And to top it off, I spent a pleasant day with my daughter - and I can't put a price on that. When my daughter and my three boys are with me I feel a sense of completeness.
