What book could you read over and over again?

I can’t be alone in always getting more out of a book by reading it more than once.

So there are many books I would reread.

And it is one of the great pleasures of life to revisit a book,just like an old friend.

Namaste and Thank you for reading.

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

I would want to be Andras Bonhime ,

A jaunty hero of another time

A feisty  character of charm and wit,

 Who  first appeared in a book called “Pit”

Later  turned into a film “Drift”

The book’s  title  no one understood at all,

But the rights were bought by Lucille  Ball,

She said it had legs just like her

And thought it would make Desi a big movie star,

Andreas fought  his way through every page,

And after four chapters never seemed to age,

From fair lady to foul and back again,

He swash buckled his way through thick and

thin,

The director tried but Desi’s age showed,

To a younger actor Desi bowed,

The  action was light,but the film took flight

Andras Bonhime won every fight,

It was a story of love and passion and grit,

With no mention of the dreaded “Pit”.

“Drift ” became a household favourite,

With fans of Andreas being most forthright

Soon Lucille’s coffers began to earn,

She had tonnes of money ,enough to burn,

Andras certainly was a spot

The box office takings were very hot,

As with everything good and true,

The film never made it to sequel two,

But Andras remains a character of gold,

Appearing  in one of the best stories ever told.

What animals make the best/worst pets?

I don’t have a pet,

I have a companion,

Just a dog,but I’m his minion,

There’s things he knows,

Places he goes,

That I have forgotten long  about

For that he  sighs and  cares but  nout,

I provide him shelter ,warmth and better food,

And for that he promises to be good,

In his little heart though he’s a part of the wild

Even though I treat him like a little child.

He plays his part and does his duty

And rolls on his tummy when I call him cutey,

His friends long past would laugh to see,

Their D.N.A expressed in such frivolity,

There is no such thing as an animal pet,

They are companions and we owe them  such a

debt,

They give us love and trust and care

But their history is wild and we must be aware,

And give them space to think and do,

And live a life just like you.

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

The Athletics Triple Jump always sparks my interest.A hop,skip and a jump by any other name.Not at all easy I imagine.

How would you improve your community?

If it existed, I would make an Anti-Selfish Behaviour drink   available  from a kiosk in a local park for everyone to imbibe while they go about their daily lives.

The kiosk would be manned by cheery volunteers and there would be tables available for those who wanted to chat.

If the weather was bad,then the kiosk would be set up inside a local library and the drink would be available to anyone who wanted it, in the form of tea,coffee or juice at no cost.

Might work

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Elvis Presley’s singing “Suspicious Minds” comes to mind when I think of the COVID -19 Pandemic.

I hope we’ll concentrate our suspicious minds on the nonsense that was forced upon us by manipulative politicians and public hysteria.

Yes,there is a possibility of a disease or virus that could spread globally,or indeed a catastrophic event that could affect our established way of life.

However, we have avoided it so far and as every Country in this World knows ,a happy population is a productive population.  Politicians want to keep us sweet and worry free, so we elect them again. To be honest death camps do not work.

Just like the great British public lost their “egg” when that diva of British Politics, Edwina Currie  famously announced that every hen in the U.K. was infected with salmonella and caused the egg production  industry  to crash.We must take everything we are told with a pinch of salt.

Corporate Politics does not work.We need reason and the will to do the right thing.

I’m off to boil my egg for breakfast

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

On the first hour of my favourite days,my routine once I’ve done my ablutions is to walk the dog.

This involves locating his harness and collar and lead and going through the motions of

“I’m a big boy,I don’t need those now,I won’t run away.”

This walk can take one to two hours,so it’s definitely my favourite ritual in the morning.I love getting the dog ready for his walk and actually walking him and seeing him experience the outside world.It’s a joy.

Namaste Thank You for Reading.

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

You neek!What a daft question.

Anybody or anything is unique due to time and place of origin.Nothing can inhabit the same space or time at the moment of conception, creation,dividing or parturition.

So despite societal or hierarchial divisions created in order to standardize society, there is no  homologue , every thing has a potential; that we waste at our peril.

Think it’s a good idea to destroy what may be to our future benefit? Only ignorance does that,sadly even that makes a person unique.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

In the terms of  Universe, naming something after me or anyone seems pretty pointless.

What language,what alphabet,what  reason to have lived at a particular location in time would be beyond the comprehension of the beings that may come across our scorched remnants in the very far off future.

Let’s face it ,archeological facts and history are open to interpretation,so what’s in a name?

Having felt the loam of the soil run through my fingers and dead leaves mulch into compost to give life to other things,I know life turns into something else,so I’m not worried about having something named after me for the hell of it

However, to answer a silly question and address the present I would like to have a maple syrup,pecan and cinnamon flavoured dairy ice cream named after me.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading
