At one stage we visited Glenelg and I remember seeing rocks near the the beautiful sea. It looked so beautiful that I thought that it couldn't be any more so.     I noticed a whale rising and plunging a few times. I wished I was able to be part of a company of the whales.   Another time I noticed I saw the whale getting ready to be harpooned from one of the ships crew and taken by them in shortly by being pulled in quickly with the harpoon and rope. [I asked Colin how he felt about that; he said he felt happy because the whale might be nice to eat. It was before lunch so he was probably feeling hungry].   The rocks were ever so gorge-ous it couldn't look any more   ravin-ous . We saw the rocks from the car which was near the cliff. We wanted to keep our distance from the cliff and not fall down from...

The music of Mozart in concert is exceptionally good and ever so outstanding. Wouldn’t you agree?   I’ve got one of his concertos on CD. Somedays we arrive home and get ready. We go outdoors to the park and people from other parks come – and we listen to music. It is like the Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is a place in London where people go for lovely concerts at which the music of Johan Strauss is sometimes played.   Wed, 28 Sep 2005 14:00:15 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Pendulums_Arc/A-Gentleman-s-Opinion-on-Music/4/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Pendulums_Arc/A-Gentleman-s-Opinion-on-Music/4/ Café   In a beautiful café I drank tea With friends at Mt.

The objective of the exercise is: 1. that he can accomplish a long held dream of getting something published 2. that he go through the process of getting something published 3. that he gets to work upon it with a team and thereby make new friends and contacts 4. that he can revisit different times of his life, 5. that he can communicate to the wider community what some of his more unique experiences and thoughts are like, 6. that he can get his work published at little or no cost It should be noted, that this is NOT a commercial exercise. The objective is for the work to be published. Although I say that it is a book of memoirs, in truth it is more of a book of poems. Through this format, which appears to suit his writing style better, it is hoped that his memories are drawn out and illustrated. Given that some of his memories are quite colourful and unique, we hope...
