her mouth dropped 

in disbelief

she waved back enthusiastically

popping a button

feigning delight

he looked a tad jagged around the edges 

caught red handed

she joined the dots together

that was not his cousin

that was his charismatic mistress

woe betide him if his wife finds out

she will take him down a peg or two

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Mouth" by Dana Roeser: mouth, delight, wave, back, button, dots, cousin, jagged, take, down, mistress, charismatic

cupboard love?

of course not

you are my most favourite human

in the world

 you  bringing in a tray

of smoked salmon canapes

is entirely irrelevant

 OUR AUSSIE BIRDS

 

 when you are

 tired of eating pine bark and gum nuts

why not try calamari rings

(cockatoos our larrikin birds )

these finches are on the suburban spectrum

colours that inspired fifties kitchens

grandma aprons and scone making

courtesy of the CWA

Country Womens Association

the little blue fairy wren

is everyone's favourite

so tiny so fragile so cute

* recent research suggests the males are doting fathers

they sing to their eggs and once  they hatch, the chicks

are able to recognise their parent's unique song.*

the flame robin

a fashion icon

comes in pink

as well as red

the rainbow lorikeet

is a modern mardi gras

kind of bird

having dust ups with

the  plain conservative drab pigeons

 

 

 

everyone has owned a budgie

at some time in their life

some guys even try to smuggle

them in their swimwear

budgie smugglers

 

but none of them have a patch 

on the male gang gang cockatoo

this crusader bird  is so smart

just by looking at it

you know it knows everything

incredible presence and personality

gorgeous

 she kept his love letters

in a bird cage

music to her ears

his jacket had been languishing

in his wardrobe for years

without mothballs

unwelcome

wedding surprise

she knew it was a mistake

how could anyone marry a man

with a moth plague in his jacket

too late now

what luck

he went out to buy smokes

and never returned

boo hoo

she was ecstatic

bought herself

boxes of chocolates

to celebrate

ended up busking

in the town square

somewhere

should have had

the jacket drycleaned

“Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.”

A Few Of My Favourite Things

 

friday might 

end of the working week

 feet up 

a drink with john coltrane

 bliss

 

 somehow

there's a spanish feeling

in my kitchen today 

ole !

 

friday  night

flowers

one of the things

that never fail

to bring me joy

the milky way

on a lonely road in south australia

no light pollution here

   

 friday night bubble bath time

not quite the same in a sink

sydney rents... sky rocketed

outrageous prices unaffordable

a bathroom with a bath?

don't like your chances

cheap housing

three shipping containers

on a block of land in the bush

guaranteed bubble bath time

two ordinary looking blokes

enjoying a cold beer and a simple meal

at a roadside cafe

looks deceive

love singles
not doubles
have a weak backhand
don't play many faults
never broken a racquet string
adore world matches
tense and thrilling
at the  final match point score
it's official
grunting is ok
not with me it's not

 sharing a bed

with a swan

is better than

sharing a bed with a pig

a situation a lot of women 

find themselves in unfortunately

as soon as dobbin found out

the cow had jumped over the moon

there was no stopping him

very competitive that horse

sorry my dear

you have failed the experiment section

of your science examination paper

these butterflies will never make you airborne

whereas

Fabrizio's  fartanesqua flatulent garlic bologneso pasta sauce

can cause (when in contact with flammable fabric)

fire  and airborn volcanic eruptions

 

 

 

(Sorry Fabrizio ...you know I love you and this is definitely not about you:) 

Put it down to alliteration.

Friday Writings # 66 Childhood Memories

lavender and lace
eau de cologne
afternoon tea and scones
cosy memories
of a gentler time

waiting for a tram
in the rain
we did not own a car

an only child

never lonely

with a little family

of her own

lots of fun in a little dinghy

inspired by Enid Blyton

creative and imaginative games

 

 

 church

every sunday

hats and gloves 

dress up occasion

no ensuite

in our abode

jugs and bowls

for a french wash

getting a typewriter

for my birthday

was very exciting and grown up

i loved mine

i wish i still had it

 

 how could i forget

dear tibby

actually tabby

but with thick accents

in the house

sounded like tibby

 

vinyl records

rock n roll

tan shoes and pink shoe laces

and a big panama with a purple hat band

happy memories
