Here is another of those amazing pictures. How many horses do you count? This time I really don’t know how many. I get a different number every time! Some people cannot even see any at first.

Another tip (maybe)
Look at the legs and follow it up.
There is at least one foal.


More luck this time? I’m still stumped. As I said, a different number every time!

Look at this amazing picture. How many faces can you see? I can find none! Although I like to sketch with a pen or a pencil, I wish I had the gift to produce sketches of this kind. I think too’ flat’.

A tip. Forget that there is a tree. Look for faces!



I have been in possession of this pic for many years and only recently I discovered another face that I had missed all along.

Do you think you got them all?

Is the place in America called Area 51 or area 52,
is it a real place/places, has any one seen them ?

And now the joke.

A tiny dyslexic alien lands, Goes out and about on his mission of exploration.
upon returning he notices a large crowd have discovered and gathered around his landing site. Unable to see over the tall human shoulders.
He approaches one bystander and says;
"take me to your Ladder"

I know, I know !
Its a bad joke

I recently came across a Best Books list, and thought it would be interesting to see what people thought of it, and if they had read many of them (No, watching the film doesn’t count )
‘Best’ is subjective, and this list is probably Western-centric, but it does cover a lot of genres.

I can never remember not reading, from earliest childhood to the present day. Reading has always been an important part of my life. It is how I discover new words; new styles; new ideas and new worlds.

As kids we used to trot down to the local library on a Saturday morning to gleefully choose our books for the week. I didn’t read many classics as a kid, I was more into Enid Blyton or other adventure books.
It was only as a teenager I started reading deeper books, but I still enjoy a good mystery/murder novel.

I prefer to watch Shakespeare plays being performed rather than reading them, and I, to my shame, have never got to love James Joyce. I never really liked romantic novels either, especially chick-lit.

I love travel books. I get totally engrossed in the journey and the adventure. Dervla Murphy was my favourite travel writer growing up. She was so independent; fearless; bohemian and different to the people I knew in real life that I loved her, and followed her travels with glee.

Apart from all Oscar Wilde books (he is my favourite author, being witty and irreverent), a few books stand out in my mind as being memorable:

The Alchemist by Paulo Cuehlo
Sarum by Edward Rutherford
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Lorca
A Place Apart – Dervla Murphy
Gulliver's Travels - Dean Swift
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre

of anyone on this site being done for s3xual harassment,
You can't even type the word

I call it ummm..."eye-hand coordination".

Sometimes being here is fun, but sometimes it isn't.

Sometimes it's:

Never blogged here before but thought I would give it a try.
Or to be honest, I'm bored and have nothing else to do.

The future will happen tomorrow, no matter what you do today,
So live and enjoy the moment, your choice to make it what you may,
Like a Lotus flower, that starts life deep in the murky swampy pond,
For life it strives to the surface, reaching for the sky and then beyond.

When finally it reaches sunlight, it spreads its leaves around its bud,
Then blossoms to a thing of beauty, different from its origins of mud,
Delicate soft petals abound, colours unimaginable for eyes to behold,
Its beauty is wondrous, pleasure to all whether they are young or old.

Like the Lotus flower blooming, your beauty enchants me from so far,
It is what is within that is important, if your heart is burning like a star,
You see what you want to see, so you must look deep into the heart,
And if you see what I can see, then our lives will be together never apart.

Have fun.
