RDP Monday: Stable

Posted in Ragtag Daily Prompt by

I almost live next door to the stables at the nearby farm. They haave their own horses, but also take in other horses.

There is also a pony which is used for children’s rides.

My favourite horse was this one. The owner of the stables told ne they bought him from Ireland, one of the old types of horse with the lovely fur on the feet. This was a few years ago, and he was then quite old for a horse. Unfortunately he is no longer, but I have some photos to remember him,

There is always something to see at the stables. I cannot ride, although once had a lesson. My problem was getting on and off the horse. They are quite high. Also the warmth from their body disturbed me a little, they were a living animal.

“Mr. Sun do you have something golden for me?”

“How’s that, is that golden enough?”

“It definitely is, couldn’t be better.

“And what about us What the sun can do, we can as well.”

“Yes we know sunflowers, but without my shining help in the sky, you would stay under the earth.”

“And do not forget me. My name is golden rod.”

“OK everyone I am off now. I have an appointment with a cloud.”

RDP Monday. Golden

RDP Monday: Radiate

Just a ten minute train journey from our town, in the village of Gösgen, there is enough rwadiation for all to see, at the side of the railway lines. Yes it i one of our Swiss nuclear power plants. Of course we are assured that this is just steam and nothing radio active or dangerous, so like all others we believe them. A few of our power plants have been switched off, but not this one. After all it is a good subject for a few photos when passing. I used to visit my family in England annually in the past years, and yes, you can see the stem ascending through the clouds from the plane. It is still radiating today.

RDP Monday: Junction

It all began when our chicken saw a road and decided to cross it, as all chickens do. There was no junction or other roads just a plain straight way. There was no triffic, just a few other chickens hanging around, but this chicken decided to cross the road.

And so she embarked on the adventure of a life time – a short life for a chicken, but you have to take the opportunities when they arise. She lifted one foot carefully after the other taking care not to fall.

And then it happened, She paused and looked back to where she came from. “No” she thought, “this cannot be right. One foot stopped and the other was raised to go on further, but where? No, the thought in her head was the only thought that a chicken could have in such a situation. “Why am I crossing this road.”

Not really chuckle, but today I was bappy. I made for the first time my own tomato soup, with real tomatoes. I had never done it before. I did write this week I was thinking about making soup, but the fancy soup maker was just a little bit too expensive and making soup is not the most difficult thing in the world. First of all I put the tomatoes in hot water to peel them. I really did not want to have to swallow pieces of skin. After peeling them I chopped them into small pieces. I sliced an echalot (an onion would do it just as well, but I happened to have an echalot and a clove of garlic) and fried it all in butter with the tomato pieces, added water enough for one person and left it to cook for 25 minutes. In the meanwhile I carried on with a bit of housework. Afterwards I pureed it with my kitchen appliance. I had some parsley so chopped it as a garnish and I must say I really enjoyed it. It s really so much better than from a paket. This is the beginning of my soup experiments. I have so many possibilities with my vegetables.

RDP Monday: Fizzy

I just drunk the stuff, as long as its fizzy It’s OK with ne. My son prefers his Pepsi, but I gave up on that some time ago, and now it is just mineral water, but it has to have fizz. The photo is neither Pepsi or Mineral, but a lamp. It was one of those lamps that have some sort of liquid bubbles rising and falling and this is the result of a photo. That is why it has so many reflections.
