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.

Readers

Above the list with countries of the readers of my blog-post of the last 7 days. I have no idea who they are. I have no idea who reads my posts and what they read exactly. What they like exactly and what not.

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.

Don't Chase

Some pictures are confusing. Confusing for me :) 

Something else. Did I tell you that I have a plot of land of 10,000 m2? I am going to plant a forest garden on this. A piece of land where there is room for birds, insects, vegetables, fruit, nuts and people. In harmony with each other. The secret is not to chase partridges, but to take care of the forest garden so they'll come to you.

P.S. The picture is from Benjamin Wolf (EYE on November 13th 2023).

If You Close Your Eyes

"You're sipping on your coffee, fading away
I can give you some time if you promise that you'll stay
But I sit there saying nothing just watching your hands
I wish that I could hold them but I'm not sure I can
But you still are gold to me
Baby, piece of art to me"

P.S. Song 'By the time you've finished your coffee' (2017) from Korantemaa: song & lyrics.

And Please

 A room with books is all I really need.

And please, more spare time to read :) 

And please, with your eyes on me ;)
