Longer Doubles …

Reflections in a cup of black coffee, still and plain on the diner's table. The face of a girl. My girl. Or is it the waitress' face?

Norma. Did the llama talk about Speedy's waitresses Norma and Shelly and Laura? Or did it talk about Carla and Diane?

Come talk to me …

It is Monday. Next date is Wednesday. Time for a double feature.

Autumn is knocking at the door. A nice warm late summer. Is this what they call an Indian Summer? No colourful leaves on the trees, yet. Still all green in the Darkside Park.

'The leaves on the bushes and trees in the Darkside Park have been brown because of the drought for months', the llama says. 'Thank goodness, no one has enflamed them yet. No barbecues and open fires allowed. And you will never write a double feature nore a continuing story for Monday and Wednesday. Start singing, Brom. Start singing about Nigel.'

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs that helping hand

And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has this future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed, yeah

And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work

Nigel is not outspoken

'But…'

Yes, I know, the llama is right. I can only repeat myself. I do not have continuing stories. Not for this blockblog and not for life in general. Life is no continuing story, only an ongoing one.

'Cryptical message of the day?' the llama aks.

Beyond Life and Death - Toad's Adventures

'And what does that fortunate cookie say?'

Happiness is closer to you than you think.

'And you have forgotten to put the red word from last post somewhere in this post.'

Decision.

'Well, that's my Brom', the llama says. 'Just let the show go on. It is the best that we have got.'

Today is Monday, the 21st of September 2020.
