At my Age?

Prompt; What were your Parents doing at Your Age?

Feck, my parents were brilliant wonderful people, and what does age matter. Life takes it’s toll and my father never reached my age and my mother was heartbroken he was no longer by her side for the rest of her life. That influenced me a lot.

It’s life, and all I have is memories of both of them. They were hardworking and intelligent people who made the most of the choices life gave them.

I assume this post is aimed at younger people and that what their parents did when their parents were young is important.

I see it slightly differently , we all have a life to live and we can’t or should not follow in others footsteps, that was the lesson my parents taught me. They were individuals, they choose a path and they encouraged others. What they were doing at my age is irrelevant.

Back in your box, algorithm!

😉 Thank you for reading. Namaste and may your Sentient Being Be With You.

The Little House on The Prairie

Write about your dream home.

Well it has to be The Little House on The Prairie(An  American T.V. Drama Series from the 1970’s).

The story of the  rural comfort of a hardworking farming community in a sandy dry like dessert land  that nothing much grew in.

Everyone ,at least on T.V.  , played their part in feeding ,clothing and watering  themselves  and  their small holding .

There were rattlesnakes and  flu could kill you,but mama made the best apple pie and always looked nice in her worn out apron and her hair and make up.

Disaster came in the form of  big corporations and Bank Loans  that  forced them  to sell their land  to  big Corporations and move their  families  to the city to work in the newly expanding car factories.

  Their memories of that idyllic  rural life kept them going.

Such dreams can only be generated by American TV series of the 70’s.They were so influential and perhaps misleading They gave us our dreams though .

No,Hobbies are Fun and If I have the Time I will return to Them

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

As always ,hobbies are fun and not for outgrowing or losing interest in otherwise they would not be a hobbie or a passion.

Real life occasionally gets in the way.

I need a Break from Hysterical Headlines.

Do you need a break? From what?

News

News and the people in it can be hysterical,  unfortunately not in a funny way.

It is  provocative nonsense and is exhausting for anyone really trying to establish the truth.

So my first Executive Order if I was elected President of America would be to ban Hysterical Headlines

I thank Modern American Politics for heightening the role of The Presidential  Executive Order,without so many being issued I wouldn’t have known about them.

Namaste.Thank You for Reading.

Easy Peasy

The most important invention in your lifetime is…

Internet is the best invention and leveller ever.

It’s like a super insect that has the power to provide the most delectable nectar or to sting with the most vicious poison that will make the unwary sick in mind and body.

Internet Bee

It’s the genie that has already jumped out of the bottle and is running rings around the mediocre.

Idle Ideal Day

Prompt: Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

If only not to feel that all is lost and mediocre and that there is hope in the World for everyone.

To idle away hours contemplating the good and understanding and learning how to improve life as it is not how I’d like it to be.

Fou-Fou’s

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Ha,ha,when I think of what I do get done,how can I get upset about what I don’t tick off on a list?

So the things I don’t do on my imaginary  list are just Fou-Fou ‘s.

And this is a picture of a Fou-Fou.

Namaste and thank you for reading.

My Favorite Thing To Cook

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

Being practical in this modern world cooking can be a chore and not something we look forward to doing.

Where we have the time and resources to cook,then anything Mediterranean is my favorite,be it roasted vegetables in olive oil, baked feta cheese coated in sesame seeds and honey, aubergine dip and fresh mint with fresh tomatoes.

Ah if only, those flavours and textures could be every day
