To say nothing of the dog!

I've just read "Three Men In A Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome. I wasn't expecting so much fun. It is a totally entertaining book. The jokes hit you suddenly, even though they develop gently and clearly in time. You know he is going to make a joke, but eventually you laugh like a child. Some common sense wisdom is strewn between the funny fragments. Maybe it is not a highly philosophical book but it certainly suggests a healthy philosophy of life. Nature is also described in an inspired manner. Over all it delighted me and I'm sure it has done so and it will continue to do so to many other people. I also listened to it using the recordings made by librivox . The most important idea I took from the book is that in any voyage, including the voyage through life, you have to take with you only things, people, ideas you cannot live without.

Parrot Style

I'm wearing a yellow roll neck jersey top, a green vest, a pair of hearts print pijama pants, green and white socks and red slippers. I'm also wearing a very unprofessional updo arranged with some brown hair clips, a golden ring, small earrings, silver eye glasses and a fresh lemon perfume.

Wink, wink! Nudge, nudge! Say No More!

Yes, I like sports. I like swimming. This is a physical activity that I practice anytime the opportunity arises. I love swimming in nature. I like the rivers, the flowing waters, but I also like the sea. I also like hiking, trekking and backpacking. But because I live in a town with no mountains near, I also enjoy table tennis. As a little girl I practiced rhythmic gymnastics. I learned to coordinate my body, I learned about equilibrium and rhythm. I especially loved playing with ribbons and ropes. I tolerate athletics, basketball and volleyball. So it was not such an ice breaker anyway!
