Ad Hoc #5. Questo Sole Accende Sul Mio Volto

 

Song (1970): here.

Ad Hoc #4. O Fim da Tarde

E a alma é a terra de um morro
É luz antiga o fim da tarde
Essa saudade sem socorro
Nos salve do fim

P.S. Song 'Luz Antiga' is from Ana Cañas.

P.P.S. Enjoy your summer holiday.

Ad Hoc #3. Hut 8

Last week I was in Oxford and Bletchley Park for a "business trip". What a beautiful city is Oxford. And how inspiring is the Park where the Allieds broke the German cipher machines. 

Ad Hoc #2. Be Kinder

 

P.S. Painting is from Ellen Davidson, 'Hollandse Zomer' (2021).

Ad Hoc #1. Not Even a Little Bit

Yesterday evening I watched a movie instead of reading a book. The American teen romantic comedy '10 Things I Hate About You' (1999). The movie was a bit over the top for my taste but all in all: lovely.

I loved it when Kat read her poem:

P.S. Source of the poem: script TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU written by Karen McCullah Lutz & Kirsten Smith (Revision November 12, 1997) based on 'Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare: here.

P.P.S. Spring has arrived. The trees, bushes and hedges are slowly turning green again.

On New Beginnings

 Happy New Year, sweety. Be happy and have luck!

Today I'll fly away. I'll no longer write online blog-posts to and for you, right here. What started in July 2009 will end today in 2023. I want to fade away, read books, and write papers. I'll work and live life offline in my forest-garden. As you know, I don't believe in endings; every ending is a new begin. 

Take care and give your sons a hug.

... - you know.

Cool as Hell

  

"And she was cool as hell." Song: here.

With Only Dreams

  

P.S. This is the song 'What Will I Do?' (1924) from Irving Berlin in the movie 'The Best of Me' (2004). P.P.S. I cried and cried when I saw this movie last night. And all I wanted was cry in your arms.

Yet

 

 P.S. Picture is from Borka Bohus, 'Árpád bridge, Budapest' (2023) in  Minimilist Photography (Facebook).

P.P.S. Song is from Anna Hauss, Robert Wienroeder, and William Horberg, 'I Can't Remember Love' (2020): here.
