Blue is the colour…

of my true love's hair in the morning when we rise…

'What is wrong with you, Bromford Bibble? Midlife crisis?' the llama asks.

'Leave me alone, you animal who is just one of my inner voices', I answer.

'Oh, come on', the llama says. 'Honesty is like a piece of cake: You never know where the brain is unless you know the cook who salted the cream cheese soup.'

'Minze sauce with baked pork, Bob.' I do not know why I said that. Maybe because I am hungry. But really I am not really.

'It is only some kind of autumn blues, I think', I say.

'And what are we going to do now, dude?' the animal asks.

'We're only making plans for Nigel.'

'Who the frick is Nigel?'

'How am I supposed to know that? I have got no clues and no plans. Have another fortune cookie, llama.'

And the fortune cookie says,

All of life is about change.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 82

Today is Quizday, the 25th of October 2019.

The "5" on this dirty and sticky keyboard is blocked. Should I try to put it in the dishwasher?

Well, well, well, let's think about it...



"Bromford"

It's hard to remember Pittsburgh properly
It's hard to recall what I did in D.C
No vivid remembrance of things in L.A
The times and the places have all slipped away

In one too brief minute
My mind saw it all
The time and the place
Twelve o'clock noon

Bromford
Bromford

It seems that I found everything that I wanted
All in Bromford
Everything's there my love and my laughter
It's all in Bromford

I'm going back to Bromford
My Bromford
I'm going back to Bromford
Oh my Bromford

The rest of the world doesn't matter
When you find what you're after

Bells and candles – clocks that chime
Ribbons glass - lights that shine
Coloured paper – shiny beads
Everything that I need
You gave to me
In Bromford

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 81


Today is Friday, the 18th of October 2019.

More to say? No way.

Is that enough to be a poem?


"Bromford"

Curling lips, fingertips, dead eye dips
I saw it all in the Bromford
Splinter cracks, summer tracks, paperbacks
We found them all in the Bromford
In the shade, whistle blades, singing fades
In the Bromford

She wants to stay
And talk all day
So I remark
When it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse

River glass, cycle past, overcast
I saw it all in the Bromford
Copper sky, shadows rise, bridge of sighs
We had it all in the Bromford
Skin tracks, face facts, fade to black
In the Bromford

She wants to stay
And talk all day
So I remark
When it gets dark
All the pale things under the earth
Will reverse

Helicopters circling in my head...



This BlockBlog was supposed to be some kind of brain jogging, a medium to focus my thoughts, a way to structure my internet life.

Well, it does not work. I am running out of ideas or the perserverance to implement them.

Sounds smart, does it not? Clever and smart.

Almost drowned in leaves and rain last night.

And the fortune cookie says,

Stay persistent, 
be patient and flexible.

Today is Wednesday, the 16th of October 2019.

The End of a Warm Moonday...

It's still lonely out in space... and cold...

Another Saturn Day…



# Here dies a free elve.

- Dobby?

# No, I am thinking about Elfo.

- Who is Elfo?

# Don't know. Just trying to get back into this Disenchantment.

- Did you clean the computer display?

# Yes, I have removed all the blood spatters.

'Boys, stop being such nerds', Kylie says closing the livingroom doors.


Today is Saturday, the 12th of October 2019.

# Infernal Amplifier.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 80

Today is Friday, the 11th of October 2019.

No Friday without city quiz, is it not?


"Bromford"


Are you feelin' like the underdog?
Like every day's stuck on repeat
Come and sing a different song
On the sunny side of Oxford Street

In Bromford by the sea, how long will you wait for me?
Let's ride the magic bus again
Or maybe take the midland train to
Bromford by the sea
A revolution's happening to me
Right here in Bromford by the sea


Girlfriends hug at the coffee shop
There's every type of person walking by
It's a perfect day full stop
There's even a smile on the traffic cop

In Bromford by the sea, how long will you wait for me?
Let's ride the magic bus again
Or maybe take the midland train to
Bromford by the sea
A revolution's happening to me
Right here in Bromford by the sea


I'm givin' all my love away
Fillin' up, I'm fillin' up
I'm givin' all my love away
Fillin' up, I'm fillin' up
I'm givin' all my love away
Fillin' up, right here in Bromford bay

As I'm walkin' 'round the town
Singin' this new song I've found
My friend comes and breaks my flow
Says, "Hey man, now don't you know that
Bromford's got no sea
That's just some bad geography
This Bromford's got no bay
That's the one in the USA"
No, Bromford's got no sea
But somehow it feels good to me
Let's ride the magic bus again
Or maybe take the midland train to
Bromford proud and free
A revolution's happening to me
Right here in Bromford NOT by the sea

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 79

Today is Friday, the 4th of October 2019.

It's too late to think about something.

It's quiz day. Just guess the city ...


"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Bromford"

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving
As soon as you get paid

It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking
Wherever you get your way

It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me
This is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad

In her false witness
We hope you're still with us
To see if they float or drown

Our favorite patient
A display of patience
Disease-covered Puget Sound

She'll come back as fire
To burn all the liars
And leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving
As soon as you get paid

It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking
Wherever you get your way

It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me
This is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
