Wanderlust #dream 221

I’m on a holiday walk with the girls. It’s late afternoon. We should be heading back to the apartment complex for evening showers ready for a night out. We’ve decided to climb a huge steep stone trail which is in the direction of our complex. We think it’s a shortcut as it feels that it’s in the right direction, but there could be a fence or locked gate that stops us from entering our property. The path is lined either side by a walled fence with vegetation growing on top. As we reach the peak of the hill, we literally have to pull ourselves up. At the top of the trail, there’s a bungalow on our left and the trail carries on to the right. The gates of the bungalow and a man in an electric wheelchair comes out. He’s wearing a hat at an angle which exposes part of his brain. He explains that the quickest way back to the apartment complex is to go back the way we came as there’s no throughfare to our apartment complex. We’re baffled as to how someone has managed to build a bungalow at this altitude.

Avoiding Medusa's Gaze #dream 220

I’ve come over to see a friend. I think I’ve been invited in but the rest of the family don’t seem to be very welcoming, though they’ve left the door unlocked because I’m expected. I’ve taken the initiative to make my own cup of tea, but this is solely because I’ve been there too many times before and have often ended up making drinks for the entire family while my friend has asked me to make her one. I headed upstairs with two mugs of tea and knocked on my friend’s door. I’m told to come inside, where her family surrounds her while she’s in bed. Her sister hands me a large brown envelope and tells me that it’s a draft copy of a court injunction. Apparently I’m not welcome here any more because I’m too intrusive. I just look at my friend for an explanation who refuses to meet my gaze.

Cake on your Lap

Cake on your lap,

Cake on your lap,

It’s bound to be a bit of a mishap.

Why is it there? It’s like you don’t care.

You’re too lazy to reach for the table over there.

And with a little wobble, your mind turns from gobble,

There’ll become a gap when the cake is no longer on your lap.

Cake on your lap,

Cake on your lap,

All it takes is one single tap

For the cake to be off-balance

And you’d do a nervous dance

So stop it from falling into your pants.

And because you had chocolate

You don’t need a doctorate

To work out you’re ging to ruin the romance.

Cake on your lap,

Cake on your lap,

It might feel like you’re under attack.

It could happen while you’re taking a nap.

When your legs start swaying, you’d better start praying

Or you might start a new saying

Of cake on your lap.

A Nice Niece

This little spark has been amazing. Despite not having the best start as a toddler, she’s always been happy and smiling in her demeanour. When younger, she’s always been winning to try new things to work out what she likes and dislikes. Now that she’s taller and a teenager, her tastes may have changed but she’s found a good circle of friends to look after her. She’s addicted to her phone and it becomes difficult to talk to her. The conversations are shorter. The biggest discussion we had was about dinosaurs and how other animals survived when they died so I might have to read up about those. Apparently she’s watched a documentary about it. When she does start a conversation, she’s very dominant and inquisitive. She still likes sport but runs to keep fit rather than to compete. She’s not sure of her future yet but who is nowadays?

We need your help! Get tagging

It’s a bit uncertain as to what the purpose of this promotion is. It’s great for the consumer, and if they share it, you’re going to get even more followers. The only way that they can use this information is that if they want to brew a sci-fi beer or add a decoration to their tap bar. This makes them more popular and they might want to brew a collaboration. Of course, they could always talk to people, but they might want to get their inspiration a bit quicker or they might need a written record of what was said. I wonder what other themes they’ve considered. And if you’re not a sci-fan, would you have to wait for a contest that you are interested in? It might be  bit of a wait. You always lie to enter the prize draw, but if you win, would you have to prove your knowledge?

Time to Sparkle

Seventy is a bit of a glam period nowadays. You’re retired but you’ve still got a bit of time to enjoy it. You’re young enough to be mobile to get about; that’s if you’re lucky enough to have taken care of yourself and you’ve got some dosh left to spend. A couple of decades ago you’d be considered lucky to have gotten this far, but nowadays it’s becoming more and more common. Hopefully you’ve raised a family to take care of you and entertain you and involves you in their lives without taking too much of their time and wishes. It’s a time to sparkle and shine while you still can before the lights go out. You may have amassed some wealth so that others can help do this for you. You’ve been blessed if you’ve managed to achieve both. Otherwise, you may be confined to what you have around you at the time.

“I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.”

 -Joel Osteen.

It sounds like a lot to do, but it’s actually quite simple advice to follow. If you’re literally seeing a man in a white beard opening up doors for you, you’ve got some true power. You can’t rely on everyone all of the time though. Sometimes you have to muck in and do your fair share, even if it seems that you’ve got to do more of it. But if you doubt it for one second, then the whole deal’s off. Sometimes it can be hard, but you just have to persist. Sometimes the right attitude turns you into a self-righteous maniac as you should be reacting to different things and try to change them rather than just blindly accepting them. It would also look a bit odd if you’re grateful for everything. You might always try and see the positive side, but others will disagree with you. You should never follow blindly.
