HEAVENLY HARBOUR

I'm addicted to Gerald's artwork. It resonates with me.

He paints such glorious pictures of the country and the sea.

I am no art critic; I hardly know a thing.

I only know that Gerald's art sometimes make my old heart sing.

I love these subtle colours! I love the reflections too.

I don't need rooves of shiny red or a sea of brillant blue!

I'm going to attempt to print it and put it in a frame!

But I'd like to say a word or two about from whence it came...........

Gerald has had a hard time. He's suffering 'chemo' now.

Sometimes his hand shakes these days (some of you will know just how).

But he has a store of paintings like the one I show above.

Visit Gerald's blog-site! You'll find many things to love!

CREDIT RATING

Of all the folk you meet today

Ninety percent will forget you.

They'll wander on their merry way

Not recalling that they've met you.

Which merely leaves you ten percent,

That's not an awful lot.

They hardly make the slightest dent;

They hardly hit the spot.

Now....

Half of ten percent, my dears,

Will find you overbearing;

Your chat will leave them close to tears

And they'll hate the clothes you're wearing.

If you tell a joke they'll move away

With that look that's called 'askance'

While your cheerful chirruping 'G'Day!'

Won't rate a second glance.

Now......

Half of ten is only five

Our numbers look quite slim.

Only five percent to like you!

The future's looking grim.

For of those five percent, I fear,

Half are luke-warm at best.

'Oh, she's O.K.' you'll often hear,

So what about the rest?

Well.......

It's only two-and-a-half percent

Will think you're really great.

With that you'll have to be content,

For that's how well you'll rate!

But those few will show affection,

And be close as a hand in glove,

So keep looking in their direction;

They bring a special brand of love.

However.....

Make sure you love yourself, my friends,

For there's noone just like you,

Treasure a love that never ends,

And stick to yourself like glue.

Every day try to savour

A love that has no end.

Be One Hundred Percent in favour

Of yourself, your one Best Friend.

P.S.

Winter did its worst yesterday!

Imagine this as very cold rain.....almost sleet....with a gale force wind blowing!

Never mind! We went to a talk about caricaturing by my friend, Peter. This is his view of our present Prime Minister, who is in election mode and not doing well in the polls.

There was a good attendance.

He drew this picture of a member of the audience, a keen surfer. I think it's very good.
