Women, women, women and women!

So Anna is angry at me for wanting to promote her Art work through my Twitter and Facebook accounts. I would normally drop one of her pictures in here but I will give it a miss this time. I don´t get it! Creative people who want to commercialise their work need publicity – yes? Continue reading “Women, women, women and women!”

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.

So there I was in Almaty! In love? Friends though she was quite a tease. We were each dating separately but occasionally went out together. Definitely in the friend zone with this beautiful young lady. Cést la vie! Oh yes we went to a French restaurant as she sometimes worked there; sometimes we ate there.Continue reading “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.”

Disappearing

Kazakhstan was a blast. Beautiful women, great friends, good bars, dancing all night.. then having to deal with idiots all day. Why do we promote the incompetent? Actually that´s not fair. I´ve worked with some great leaders and managers throughout my life. In schools, in industry, in the army. It seems to me that whenContinue reading “Disappearing”

Sunrise to Sunset – for Tasha

This year for the summer solstice I rose early to watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean from the beach at Peniscola. In the evening I sat on my balcony and watched it set. It took me back two years to 10th August 2014. I watched the sun rise as I flew from Astana to Almaty,Continue reading “Sunrise to Sunset – for Tasha”

Here we are being Crass in May.

Where are you? I went to Singapore; sorry I forgot to mention it! And who will teach your classes? That silly girl who has ignored you all! She will be promoted soon as she is vacuous; Just like the Boss and his cronies! Who will check on her? Who needs to? The Boss came downContinue reading “Here we are being Crass in May.”

My thanks go out to the lazy invertebrates

Thank God the sun refused to shine, Or I might have thought I was loving you! Walking into that same old trap, heading for the same old crap, Early mornings, afternoon nap, A woman who could really sap. Then out she came with the magic word, Something I’m glad I just heard, SomethingContinue reading “My thanks go out to the lazy invertebrates”

Friends

(On being friend-zoned) Teenage recollections. You never really know do you Al? Take a tip from someone who is blue now, it’s really easy. It was a very nice evening you spent together , said the wind. A final Kiss? Bliss? Miss? What exactly was that, Miss? You want more? Nil Satis (nisi optimum!) LaboreContinue reading “Friends”

Monsters from the Head

Last night I had a weird dream. I will recount what I can remember then interpret the meaning. So in this dream… I am in a suburban landscape moving carefully to avoid groups of marauding Zombies and Vampires. With the large number in this sweet suburbia it was impossible to move without detection and so IContinue reading “Monsters from the Head”

Eclectic catholic

What the feck have I been reading recently? War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells – old Physicists joke… where do you get mercury from? Hg wells… The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak – reminds me of my old friend Chris After Hitler by Michael Jones – Europe is still recovering The Middle EastContinue reading “Eclectic catholic”

Svetlana

When first I came to Kazakhstan, I never dreamt of Lana Scan. Or how on Earth it could ever be That I would see myself in effigy. Backstabbing cronies telling lies I want to stab them in the eyes, And ride roughshod upon their heads As I set fire to their feather beds. Continue reading “Svetlana”
