Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 218

Today is Wednesday, the 24th of August 2022.

Count them... Must be twenty-four of them...

Pouting Cat Face emoji is a cat-version of an ordinary😠 Angry Face emoji (not of 😑Pounting Face, surprisingly). It looks like an angry, frustrated, or disappointed 🐈 Cat face with frowned angry πŸ‘€ Eyes and a πŸ˜” Sad πŸ‘„ Mouth. This emoji, just like all the other cat versions of the ordinary smileys, is mostly used by people, who ❤️️ Love cats or associate themselves with them.

And as for meaning, it may be anything related to disappointment — with someone’s behavior, actions, or words — or being angry because of anything, or stressed, or offended, or anything else of this kind. Also, could possibly represent a woman in her period. Or just any moment where she’s really angry.

Really?

"Bromford Blues"

Back in Bromford, a child will smack your face
Back in Bromford, a child will smack your face
Babies crying for liquor and all the birds sing bass
Bromford people are bad, bad as they can be
Bromford people are bad as they can be
They use gunpowder just to sweeten their tea

Down in Bromford, they'll all shoot quick and straight
Down in Bromford, they all shoot quick and straight
The bullet'll get you if you start dodging too late
Back in Bromford, you can't keep a man in jail
Back in Bromford, you can't keep a man in jail, no
If the jury finds him guilty, the judge will throw their bail

Ooh, I had a man in Bromford, sweetest man in town
Oh, I had a man in Bromford, the sweetest man in town
But then he met a city gal and he throwed me
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

And I'm bound for Bromford, me and my razor and my gun
Lord, I'm bound for Bromford, me and my razor and my gun
I'm gonna shoot him if he stands still and cut him if he runs
Got the devil in my soul and I'm full of bad booze
Got the devil in my soul and I'm full of bad booze
I'm out here for trouble, baby, I've got the Bromford blues

Bromford people are bad, bad as they can be
Bromford people are bad as they can be
I'm out here for trouble with the Bromford blues in me

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 217

Today is Tuesday, the 16th of August 2022.


I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
My cat is crying in the rain...


😿😿😿😿
😿😿😿😿
😿😿😿😿
😿😿😿😿


"Bromford Rock"

Happy little day
Jimmy went away
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made
So decorously laid
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade

It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
I'll weave my spell

Jenny, will you stay?
Tarry me with pray
Nothing 'ere need come between us
Tell me, love, what do you say?

Oh, no, I must away
To my mum in disarray
If my mother should discover
How I spent my holiday

It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
I'll say farewell

Oh, rock of ages
Do not crumble, love is breathing still
Oh, lady moonshine down
A little people magic if you will

Jenny pines away
Writes a letter every day
We must ever be together
Nothing can my love erase

Oh, no, I'm compromised
I must apologise
If my lady should discover
How I spent my holidays

O afs …

»Lady Inchiquin is an old and famous…«

»Don't spoil it, animal.«

Why is the llama in my head?

Drawn. Something is drawing me to the hallway.

I stand up from the couch, not touching anything or anyone. The sound I connect to the rhombus shape in my head is coming from the hallway. But is it or was it coming from the hallway?

»What is he doing?«

»Do you remember those old comics - books or films - where drawn wafts of smell are hypnotizing a comic figure so that it gets dreamy eyes and starts flying towards the source of the smell?«

»I can see it before my inner eye.«

»Mmmh, the smell of frech baked cake cooling on a window sill.«

»Are Bomford's feet touching the ground? Is he flying already?«

»Be serious, my dear people. Humans cannot fly.«

»Mmmh, I could use a piece of freshy baked cake.«

There is no cake in the hallway. But what is it that is drawing me here?

I'm afraid there will be cats... Burning cats... maybe...

πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€πŸ™€

Weary cat? Weary? Maybe also burning and screaming...



"Fire On Bromford"

She took my father from my life oh
Took my sister and brothers oh
I watched her torturing my child
Feeble I was then but now I'm grown

Fire on Bromford
Oh yes a change has come
Fire on Bromford
Fire
Fire
Fire

She's taken everything I liked
She's taken every lover oh
And all along she gave me lies
Just to make me think I loved her


Fire on Bromford
Oh yes a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Fire
Fire
Fire on

Life's backwards
Life's backwards
People turn around
The house is burned
The house is burned
The children are gone

Fire
Fire

Fire on Bromford
Oh yes a change has come
Fire on Bromford
Fire
Fire, oh
Fire, oh


Fire on Bromford
Oh yes a change has come
Look what she did to her son

E agles …

I once knew a lady, a lady from Kollobita´´rtainnen. Her name was Lady Inchiquin.

Stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused.

»I'll only take two or three slices.«

»There is one pizza for each and everyone.«

»Pepperoni, I want mine with pepperoni.«

»Garlic, why did you order garlic. I don't like garlic.«

»Are you a vampire, or what?«

»Somebody want to swap? I'll give you my olives and I will take your anchovis.«

»Are you nuts? Fish on a pizza? Nobody likes fish on a pizza.«

»Says the one who ordered tuna pizza.«

»Most of the flesh in a can of tuna fish is dolphin.«

»Is fish flesh?«

»Fish is not vegan.«

»But fish is vegetarian.«

»So fish is no flesh for vegetarians do eat fish, don't they?«

Stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused.

Lady Inchiquin is not in focus and maybe she is not even a lady.

»Cheese!«

»Why do you smile, animal?«

»There is cheese on my vegan pizza.«

»Maybe it is vegan cheese.«

»What is vegan cheese supposed to be?«

»The tomato sauce is delicious. Where did you say the pizzeria you ordered from is?«

»Oh, Speedy made and delivered the pizza. Speedy from SPEEDY'S SANDWICH BAR & CAFΓ‰ from the basement of this apartment building.«

»The apartment building on 666, Whitaker Lane, in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside?«

»STOP EATING! STOP TALKING!«

My head is going to explode and my hands pressed against my temples cannot prevent it.

The other four persons and animals in the room are looking at me, chewing and swallowing.

And in a distance Lady Inchiquin sings…

OPEN HERE… OPEN HERE… OPEN HERE…


I focus the letters on the back of the green treasure map. I focus the Rhombus shape. The diamond shape. I turn it up and down in my head. I let it sway from side to side. Seesaws are making me dizzy…

ORPHEENE… HER POENE… PEN HEROE…


Sound. There is a sound, a seldom heard sound that wants to be connected to the shape. Lights, nine to ten lights. Blue lights. Buttons that want to be pressed, that turn white when pressed…

DING! DONG!


»Delivery!« the llama shouts out.

»Delivery?« I ask, angry because the doorbell and the llama totally tore me from my thoughts.

»Yes«, the llama says. »I haved ordered pizza an hour ago. You want some?«

N acres …

»Where have I seen this shape before?« I ask myself aloud.

»That's a Rhombus«, llama is stating the obvious.

»I think it looks like a diamond«, Kylie says.

»And what does it say? Are those letters?« Nigel jumps excitedly from one leg to the other.

»Letters, obviously«, the llama says.

»What they say? What they say?«

»That's an anagram, obviously«, the llama says and it reads aloud,

»HEN OR PEN


»Nice«, Nigel says, »It's a riddle. Why does a hen need a pen? What does a hen with a pen? Why is a hen like a pen?«

»Where did you see the second N?« Kylie asks. »There are no two Ns, but three E.«

Professor Sideburns shakes his head.

»It it not as complicated as that. The letters arranged in shape of a Rhombus…«

»Or a diamond«, Kylie adds.

»Or a diamond«, the professor agrees, »these letters form the words

OPEN HERE


»Boring«, Nigel says.

»I prefer hens and pens«, the llama says.

»Do you all see the arrows added to the message?« Professor Sideburns asks. »I think they are pointing…«

»Left and right, left and right«, the llama crows.

»I think they are pointing in directions where one can find something to do or to see that brings you closer to the hidden treasure. This pergamentic paper can be used like some kind of templet and following the arrows we will find some loose stones we will have to remove or buttons we will have to press or…«

»Or more riddles«, Nigel says.

»What's a templet?« the llama wants to know.

»A lot of bullshit, if you want my opinion«, Nigel says.

»Nigel!« Kylie says.

And all this time my mind is circling around this one question where I could have seen a diamond or Rhombus shape like this before.
