    It’s a compliment though I guess? If you so choose, anyway…

    “if you look like your passport photo, it’s time to go home”

      Many years ago, The Sunday Times did a feature on the passport photos of top models including Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Christy Turlington. Even these ladies didn’t come over as well as I’m sure they would have liked in the resulting pictures!

        For the last three and the next seven years, my passport has sported and will continue to sport a photo in the timeless style known as Twins Just Arrived.

          'Very handsome' commented the young man who examined my bus pass. I did point out that the photo was taken in 2007, and appeared on my previous bus pass and the one before that.

              ...well I'm bloody well not!
              I"m not a dog lover, though I don't dislike all dogs. They are a wretched disruptive nuisance much of the time - and can be very expensive to look after. I don't really understand why people want to keep some of these animals, though some, such as guide dogs and assistance dogs can be very helpful to their keepers.

              One dog appears to love me - though mostly it just wants food. I don't wish it any harm, but it would be easier if it didn't visit us so often.

                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      many thanks for reminding me of this!

                      "Dominic Raab won’t approve but I did indeed go the opera last week (it cost me £62). Tom Eisner, a working-class lad from Buxton near where I grew up kindly invited me. He’s been playing violin at Glyndebourne for 36 years. Never let anyone tell you you’re not good enough..."

                            And whatever happened to the vegetables?
                            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
