Sunday should be a day of rest, but many find it the most strenuous!

A cat may have nine lives – but are they as exciting as ours?

Just think – by using just 26 letters you can write any word, however long, that you want to write.

WHERE ARE THE ROBINS?

When I was just a child of three -
I had a friend so dear to me -
He would visit every day -
Through wind and rain and skies so grey -
He sang his song; a happy note -
Better by far than others wrote -
And we would eat our lunch together -
Snow or hail – whichever weather.
That robin always came to me -
No matter time of day
And we would put the world to rights -
He would chirp and have his say!
But I grew up and went to school -
My feathered friend neglected -
And when I thought of him at all
It wasn’t as expected.
I hadn’t time to sit and chat -
Other friends came to my door -
And very soon my faithful friend -
He visited no more!

A smile first thing in the morning and last thing at night is all you need to have a good life.

Autumn is all about colours – while Winter is all about cold. Yet Spring is the start of new life and Summer sweet moments to hold.

SEA – SAND AND SUN

Golden sand – reflection of the sun
And the sea has a glint in its eye!
Like a thread of gold, it touches your heart-
And gives meaning to a sigh -
Lapping at your golden tan -
Like a lullaby -
Listen and you will know why.
Above each sound a seagull cry -
And when the day has spent its youth -
And time to rest once more -
Look back and soak the beauty in
From that golden sunny shore!

Those who have tolerance – have the greatest gift on earth.

SUNNY SALAD DAYS

No more stews and casseroles -
Piping hot and spicy ting -
The oven cools and out we bring -
The salad leaves and beetroot whole -
The dips –that flip – the crunchy dish -
That gives your thoughts a moment’s wish -
To savour taste – nothing to waste.
Enjoy it with both meat and fish -
And even radish has a trick
To repeat and then repeat -
And if you’re slow – not nippy quick -
The mustard cress will bite your feet -
Enjoy the muzzing and the buzzing -
Hazy, lazy days of fuzzing -
Strolling, rolling forever calling
To the green, green grass so sweet
That lives beneath your feet!

Plan a holiday well and it will turn out to be just that – a holiday.
