Shall I compare thee …

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Life without internet …

I spent the long weekend, for overseas or interstate visitors that’s Victoria’s Moomba Celebration … I might try to explain that one day, at my country estate.

Some renovations are underway. For reasons that I am totally unable to fathom, that has necessitated cutting the lead that runs from the satellite dish to the modem … in two places. Does the builder have a fear of being possessed by the internet? In any case he need have no fear now.

Albert Einstein may have summed it up …

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity … I’m not sure about the universe.” 

I can, actually, survive without internet, for short periods, but I do need some advance warning.

Merry Christmas …

I do wish all my readers a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
