Bromford and Lynx …

 

»Come out, kitty, kitty, kitty.«

The llama is crawling on the floor looking under the couch, the tables and the armchairs in the living-room.

»What are you doing, animal?« I am asking placing grocery shopping bags in the hatch of the pass-through between our combined living- and dining-room and our little kitchen.

»I am looking for the cat you let into the apartment«, the animal answers. »You know what's strange, dude? You never seize to state that you do not like cats and yet you are hosting their kind over and over again. Is this one another candidate to become your next new animal companion?«

»Maybe«, I answer taking a big juicy bite from one of the apples of one of the shopping-bags.

»I can hear the kitten rumpage now and then but it won't come out of its hiding«, the llama is stretching its neck to look behind the big flat screen on the wall. »And I have tried everything, every trick I could think of - a bowl of water, another one of milk, even a big ball of wool for it to play with.«

»Maybe the cat is in hiding because it is preying on you, animal«, I secretly smirk to myself. »And once you do not look and do not expect it it will jump at you from behind and bring you down all claws in your back.«

»Don't be silly, dude, such a lovely, little kitten.«

»It's a lynx, llama, one of the big cats, one of the wild ones.«

Never before I have seen the llama running out of the glass-door to the roof-terrace and around the little house that is our penthouse apartment on top of the apartment building that quickly before.

In total terror it is constantly shouting, »Are you nuts?«

* * *

»Very funny.«

The llama is reading today's BlockBlog post over my shoulder.

»Funny, but not true. I haven't seen you making any grocery shopping in quite a while, dude. So pack and unpack your bags and get us some food, dude.«

Bromford and Honey-Badger …

 

* Meet me at the Sydney Harbour Bridge.


- As if…

* As if what?

- As if we were ever going to Sydney
or Australia. It is literally on an other
continent, literally on the other side
of this planet.

* What planet? The Planet of
Bromford?


- And it is definatley not the right
continent for honey-badgers.

* What's a honey-badger?

- I don't know. Some animal that
badges honey? Or just another
badger, honey?

* Do you remember what happened
that winter when and since the old
badger died?


- You mean when the other animals
slowly stopped grieving and lucky
memories began to replace the pain
and refill their hearts?

* As if…

- Why does this summer sometimes
feel like a winter?
 
And on the other side of the living-room in the penthouse above the fifteenth floor of the apartment building on 666 Whitaker Lane in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside a honey-badger badges on…

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 375 & Part 376

 

Today is Saturday, the 26th of July, 2025.


HuuHuu, HuuHuu.

What is he doing?, asked one of the grinning cats.

He is trying to get into the mood, said one of the twenty-five first chicks.

Don' you think, grinned one of the cats with tears of joy, our little chicks here are starting to look more and more delicious every day?

There are too many cats around here, one of the snails whispered slowly but with a certain panic in its voice.

And there are more and more to come, one of the spiders spoke breathily.

In some parts of France, squeaked one of the kissing cats, snails are a special meal, a true delicacy.

Add some garlic or a drop of milk or cream and taste will explode in you mouth, the weary cats started to drool.

We have to be very careful, one of the little red birds tried to hide a serious warning in a song.

And while the cats started a joyous dance Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl, let out a final HuuHuu for the day.

And those who were seen dancing, the owl said, were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music, said Friedrich Nietzsche.

And twenty six crying cats joined the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smile, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitos, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

The days arrive over the mountains
They never lie and I never doubt them
…. and here I am

Another storm comes down like a volcano
I should know by now, they’re never the same though
…. but here I am

There are bridges that i’ve burned
And teachings that I have learned
Still the time flies like a bird in the wind

And now the december moon; guess I keep getting older
Maybe someday soon all of this could be over
…. well here I am

There are bridges that I should burn
And more lessons that I could learn
Still the days go by like an old western film

Hold me close, don’t let me go

I would never believe this if I didn’t see it
I don’t know where i’d be if I had stopped myself dreaming
If this is my Bromford then i’m never leaving…

Hold me close, don’t let me go


"Bromford"

Fallen fallen fallen
is Bromford the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!

Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Bromford the great!

You don't need a coin,
I don't have to shine
We don't know the reason

But I need you madly
and you need me too
and we need each other...
and we need each other...
and we need each other...

Fallen fallen fallen
is Bromford the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!

Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Bromford the great!

You don't need a coin,
I don't have to shine
We don't know the reason

But I need you madly
and you need me too
and we need each other...
and we need each other...
and we need each other...
