RDP Tuesday: Sinecure

Posted in Ragtag Daily Prompt by

Visiting Mr. Swiss in his golden oldie home this afternoon it was pleasant weather and we sat outside in the pavilion. It was a good opportunity to see what the animals were doing. I noticed the turtles were all lined up securing their place for taking a swim. One after the other they slid into the water and made the most of it.

RDP Tuesday: Bucket List

Posted in Ragtag Daily Prompt by
Taking a walk through town some time ago I discovered that they were collecting buckets. I had a look inside, but found no lists and they were all empty, just like my own bucket list. I am glad to be alive, although one day that will pass. I am not immortal and no exception to the rule. In the meanwhile I have no bucket list, nothing I have not done that I want to do. Perhaps win a million in the lotto, but we all have then somewhere on a bucket list.

RDP Thursday: Nothing

There is nothing happening in our front garden but it was time to put out my ornaments and the table and chairs. Another job done for the summer, now we can relax and enjoy the view. I was busy with my various models of fantastic birds and other bits and pieces, whilst my No. 1 son put out the chairs and table. I discovered even with nothing there is something.I am glad that the Winter days have disappeared until the end of the year. Writing about nothing is also something. I must have bee completing this daily blogs since at least ten years, or perhaps even more.

RDP Tuesday: Fractal

Most of my fractal photos are based on tricks that the light plays, shadows. Here is the back of a chair with its pattern from the light.

Anc a simple bridge construction with its reflections in the glass.

The light through the curtain stripes at home.

The stairs to our national Swiss Circus when it was in town.

I could show many such photos, but now I must stop. They can be very fascinating.

RDP Tuesday: Imprecation

If you want to find some words out of place, then take a trip on a train. It seems that we are talking about words that we should avoid if possible. Of course I have my moments when such expressions help to relieve the stress. My advantage is that I can do it in English, French, German and Swiss German. Swiss German has the widest vocablulary I know for such expressions. Being a country with four official languages it often happens that the natives tend to mix the languages together in such siuations. A little bit of French, a little bit of Swiss German and it relieves the problem. My husband was a good teacher, although if I happened to copy his expressions, he told me not to use such words – typical man. Naturally my cockndy origins gave me enough food for thought in that direction. So I leave this discussion with corblimy, Gottfried Stutz and merde. I will not translate.

And here a video, Kiosk, about Gottfried Stutz from the late Polo Hofer, one of the best Swiss Beat bands in Swiss German,
