A New Day ......

[Jaguar7777]

I woke up a little earlier than usual, the tail end of a sinus head cold leaving me dry and very thirsty. I set about brewing some tea, and then settled down to watch the world go by outside my window. There goes the Fisherman in his 4x4, into the road ..... back out of the road ... back into the road .... back out of the road ..... goes out empty and comes back in laden down with boxes. Fish? I don't think so .........

Ah ..... there goes the guy over the other side of the street. He likes to leave before everybody gets up so that he isn't seen. I don't know what his problem is, the whole street knows he's fucking the divorcee. I just love the way he parks his car five doors down and leaves before everybody is awake. Who the hell does he think he's fooling?

Ah, here comes the plumber. A little early to be doing any plumbing, but he also has an interest in the divorcee. I can't think why, she reminds me of a Stick Insect on Prozac ...................... However, he'd just die to take a look at her pipe-work ......

Time to turn on the news. Two plane crashes, two train crashes and an ongoing story about someone burned alive in a cage. This is HOW NOT to put a little sunshine in the new day. The weather is going to be shit, and the shares I don't have are worth fuck all.

And yet .... I'm smiling. I guess I like me, I like the people around me, and our new Dog is the ray of sunshine that the morning needed. I much appreciate his affection, however, time he took his nose out of my teacup ......

Being straight really became so socially unacceptable these days? Holly shit!

Being straight might soon be a minority activity ......................................

I can see you are due another visit from Miss Whiplash in the dungeon.

You know how partial she is to duct tape, you naughty little boy!

Doesn't bother me at all. Isn't it the place where people can express themselves and be understood?
I was even thinking about starting the thread where people can SHOW their day in 5-6 snapshots made by the phone. I am not sure this would be interesting for others, but for me it sure is. I am visual type so for me it's just like visiting new places. Not the pics you can find on the Web, but something personal.

Go for it!

I tried it once, on another forum. Not many people joined in, but some did and the results were indeed fascinating.

Who knows, perhaps the denizens of Broken might be hiding a little light beneath their bushels ........

Could I use your thread for this? I like your text in the first post – it makes a great introduction. Just another day, nothing special, and yet the unique one.

Today I finished the work early and decided to visit the small exhibition of one of the local car restoration clubs held in VDNH exhibition center.
Just a few shots made by the phone.

Built in 1930th, the VDNH is an Acme of the Stalin’s Empire style


Friendship of Nations fountain with 15 golden figures symbolizing 15 republics of the USSR works as a big skating ring in winter. Today was too warm for skating though.


The old good R-7 - the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile and the space age opener. It orbited the first satellite, the first man, and some 50 years later still works delivering the crews to the ISS. Buran space shuttle – its maiden space flight remained the only one.


A few cars from the exhibition.


Moscwich-411 model 1957 – the first Soviet crossover. Basically it was just a 4X4 version of the regular M-403 car. In spite of the questionable (to say least) style the car was very popular because of its cross-country capabilities.


This SMZ small two-seater was produced in 1950s for disabled WWII veterans. The car was free for them, and could be controlled only by hands, or by person having one hand and one leg. The concept was similar to German post-war Messerschmitt KR200 or BMW Isetta.


Volga GAZ2402 model 1973. My uncle owned one of these.



It’s darkening – time to go home.


That was my today. Please post yours.

here is something I did this evening...

we have an old cactus. A few weeks ago it flowered for the
first time in more than 25years - there is something in the air
this Summer with a lot of unusually prolific flowering.


(the middle flower bud did not develop)


(tallest part is about 5foot)


(the flowers last 24-48hrs)

a few weeks later...

(seedpods have burst open)

which brings us to today when I collected some of the seed
pulp, which is very similar to the inside of a kiwifruit.
