“Breakfast tomorrow?”
“Yes.
“Our little weekend rituals
make me happy,
secure.
And prevent me from running
from the planet, screaming.”
OK, maybe I didn’t articulate that last line, hehe.

When life gives you lemons…
This week’s photo challenge theme is one I’ve participated in previously, so I’m giving it a miss. Instead, in response to this question from Elizabeth over at Mirth and Motivation, I’m posting my Mondegreen poem, which I wrote for Gabrielle Bryden’s Citrus Fiesta some time ago.
naughty lemon by bb
LeMondegreen
I thought it really quite absurd
(and way too weird) when I heard
the 70s band Hot Chocolate sing
about the very strangest thing –
wild lemony love in Cadillacs,
the joys of lemons in the sack!
One day it dawned it wasn’t ‘lemons‘
of which they sung, but rather ‘heaven’s‘
and so the song proved less obscene,
and my mishearing, a Mondegreen 😯
I’m taking a break from blogging for a while.
Happy blogging
😀
And hope to see you on the other side.
Weekly Photo Challenge: A Day in My Life
This was today – catching up on university stuff – which I enjoyed, but it doesn’t make for a terribly exciting photo subject.
Never mind – it’s nearly champagne o’clock Downunder, and tomorrow’s another holiday (and golf). 😀
For more inspired entries to this week’s photo challenge, see The Daily Post.
I particularly enjoyed these five:

Our quotidian rituals
bring discipline,
structure
and joy
to our hours;
they are the anchors
of our existence.

Not So Sweet…
Look, a little butcherbird!
He’s so tame.
Aww, isn’t he sweet?
mmmm…perhaps not…
You can listen to the grey butcherbird’s song at Birdlife Australia
and the pied butcherbird’s song at the Listening Earth Blog
Travelling Dog Extraordinaire
We went out on the Wisemans Ferry Road today and saw this fabulous chap when we stopped for coffee at Spencer
My name is Rogue
I'm a travelling dogue
Am I hot, or what
In my spike tinpot

Sultry African nights,
we’d drink Dutch,
play Chinese,
smoke American,
talk Japanese,
(the odd bit of French thrown in)
Brightly hungover days,
we’d work,
with throwback English stoicism
Weekly Photo Challenge: Up
Have been a bit snowed under this week, so haven’t written any poetry, nor read any blogs – have a lot of catching up to do this weekend…
In the meantime, here’s my contribution to this week’s photo challenge: different views looking up at the Sydney Opera House that I took a while ago with that archaic thing known as a film SLR 🙂
What a view there must be from up there
I’ve used the (damaged) photo below before for my poem Sometimes which I posted back in May but which fits in quite nicely with the ‘Up’ theme, too
Happy weekends, Fellow Bloggers 🙂
A slice of a Sydney weekend
Breakfast at Via Del Corso?
mmm, not quite breakfast
that’ll do the Man
fruit fit for bees
it’s a beautiful day for a boat show
to play tourist and reflect on the harbour
and the city
do some shopping
don’t forget to buy The Big Issue
(step away from the cupcakes!)
have lunch
spicy chicken laksa
and head off to friends to watch the rugby
