Treasure of Gold and Silver …


Today is Friday, the 31st of May 2019.

Kylie is calling from Montana.

We have met a girl called Hannah Montana, the llama says.

No, we have not, Kylie says.

So, her name was Alaska Nebraska, the llama asks.

No, Kylie says, her name was Helena of Troy and she had a beautiful horse.

And there was this guy called Paris, the llama says. He had to throw a poisoned apple to decide whether Helena or Snow White was the most beautiful of the old Greek Godesses. But the horse that was called Mr Ed ate the apple and was able to sing and dance afterwards.

No way, I say.

Believe it or not, Bromford Bibble, Kylie says, but Horses is the best musical that I have ever seen live on stage.

Oro y Plata, the llama calls out in a singing tone.

Whatever, Kylie says, only ten states left to go. Are you ready for our triumphant homecoming, Bromford?

Sasquatch, the llama shouts, Bigfoot named this piece of land. The name Montana comes from the Spanish word Montaña, which in turn comes from the Latin word Montanea, meaning "mountain", or more broadly, "mountainous country".

Things are getting weirder, I say.

If only you could see the llama dance the Fandango, Kylie sighs.

Freedom for Troyian horses, the llama cries out, freedom for the buffaloes.

I have got a headache, Kylie says.

Until next time, I say but it sounds like a question.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 61


Today is Thursday, the 30th of May 2019.
The Ascension of Christ.

Tell me are you a believer? Are you a Christian child?


"Bromford"

There's a ship
And it sails a sea of light
On its way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more

And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny's at my door

Going to leave this town forever
And go where I'll never
Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry ...

Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away
Where they cry ...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Bromford

There's a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why

But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die

She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry ...

Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering there sweet love songs
Calling out to me

Tired of Thinking ...


Today is Monday, the 27th of May 2019.

I am tired of the United States, the llama cries. And don't you dare calling from another state, Kylie-Smilie!

Come down, animal, Kylie says. And have a drink. Here, take a "Fuerst Bismarck".

Looks like water, the llama says.

Tastes like water, Kylie says.

The llama drinks. And this is about the second time you have seen the llama breathing fire.
