FOTD 28th May 2023: AlliumEvery town probably has its own Chautauqua, although I must admit I had never heard of it. Our local town of Solothurn is quite well known for its literature days. They occur some time at the end of January and authors from all over Switzerland, also from the neighbouring countries. are invited to show their new works. During the week there are events for book translators and introductions of new authors and their work. Switzerland being a country of many languages, translators are an important part of our literature. I went along once to see how it was done, but almost impossible to get in as everything was fully booked. This photo is not from the literature days, but organised privately. Someone is reading and the others are listening. The reader changes now and again.
Yes, it’s arrived, my first rose of the Summer, with many more to come.
FOTD 27th May 2023: Rose FOTD 27th May 2023: RoseSwitzerland, where I live for the past 55 years, do not have an alliance with anyone really. Perhaps with the cows, but most of them are Swiss in any case. They are a bit suspicious of us, but we don’t really trust then either. Otherwise we do not participate in wars. I suppose we do not really have any friends in the world, although if anyone is have problems in their own country, they are welcome to try Switzerland. In a country with four national languages, it can get a little complicated sometimes. I feel quite a home, after all everyone speaks english, at last the Brits thing so.
FOWC with Fandango: AllianceBeing a Brit, you would think that tea was something special in my life. I really never bothered with it. Of course mum and dad were constant tea drinkers, with their milk and suger. I was more into coffee actually. I only really discovered tea in the last few years when I noticed that my digestive system was no longer happy with coffee. What could I do, I have to have some sort of drink to strt my day, so I decided to try tea. Milk and sugar was not my thing, and so I drink it pure. Just a cup of hot water with tea leaves. I soon discovered that tea bags were not my thing – tea leaves in a paper bag? No thankyou. What sort of tea? There are many types, but Ceylon was too weak for my taste. Eventually I discovered Darjeeling growing on the slopes of the Himalayas I had to find a supplier, and now I order it online. After all tea is not just tea.
RDP Saturday: TeaIt seemed to be time for the farmer to spray the field with fertiliser. You do not really have to see it, smelling it is enough.
RDP Friday. DrivenAnd now my Asian peonies are opening their buds. A bee is already making use of the new supermarket.

Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
