Before The Year Is Gone

Around New Year and before Lent, the Kukeri walk and dance through villages to scare away evil spirits with their elaborate costumes and the sound of multiple large bells attached to their belts. They are also believed to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year. The Kukeri tradition has been practiced since Thracian times, predominantly in Bulgaria but also in other Balkan countries.

The labyrinth of contemplation.

Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023

I love the idea of the labyrinth of contemplation. Whether we are intrepid or not, this seems like a good place to spend at least part of each day, possibly never finding the way out.

I'm languishing in mine at this very minute...

Posted on Mon, 11 Dec 2023

I live in Bulgaria where we have long, hot sunny summers so when the darkness falls in the autumn it's an even bigger shock to the system than it was in the days when I lived in Ireland and Britain. The temporary nature of the gloominess and the...

In our house it's always tea

Posted on Wed, 06 Dec 2023

In our house it's always tea time and, it embarrasses me to confess, there are many spots where flies land. We even get the occasional scorpion.

In intriguing and enjoyable poem Jane. Good on you!

I feel the same way about him Di. It's impossible to write something that does justice to a person who could write a million times better than I will ever be able to.

Posted on Sun, 03 Dec 2023

Animals are wonderful things to have around the house but sadly, unless they're a giant tortoise or a blue whale, they don't stay as long as we do. The memories stay for ever though.

I'm surprised that nobody is surprised at Israel's brutal approach. Its ability to be brutal has increased year on year since the creation of the Israeli State in 1948, and its government and military forces have made no attempt to hide this....
