A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

I'll be linking to

BOOK
Nurture your Nature  (13+)
Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.

was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .

is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
STATIC
Space Cadet - the never ending journal  (18+)
Journeys of an Alien Space crew.

I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.
 
FOLDER

Yesterday was the Null, today is the Fool. I've felt as numb as a null but I'm not wise enough to be a fool.

42 degrees at 10 p.m. Not supposed to go below freezing and it's going to warm up nicely in the afternoon.

I'll be writing poetry, hope to do JI (lots of work, we'll see). It will hopefully be a month of opening up.

37 degrees and calm at midnight.

Today's poetry prompt is "folly". I might go serious with it instead of humorous. Later, I guess. I have all day and the only other obligation is the market.

37 degrees at 10:10.

Wokeup to a nice shiny ribbon in my inbox. This poem is from 2007! 3rd isn't bad for an old geezer.

66 degrees at 2:44

A scent of freesia ... from a jar of air freshener. A whiff is enough.

Daffodils in bloom along with crocuses, chinodoxia. One week of warm weather will encourage other flowers.

Road season has started. New white painted lanes on 5th street. And they've dug up the corner of 3rd and Higgins to put in the new ramp from the bridge.

70 degrees at 4:47.

Will I have to get use to this? Gentle breeze and scents of spring. 4 warm days in the 60s followed by 4 cool days in the 50s. Maybe one morning of sprinkles. No storms. That's perfect for early April.

I now have pansit from Bri. It's lavender and purple (cabbage). I put it in the fridge as Laxmi gifted me tuna salad earlier and I ate 1/4 of a lemon meringue pie. It was on sale... *Whistle*

Bri told me she's moving out tomorrow. *Shock2* I was quite upset until she told me she was joking. I don't joke so I didn't see it coming. I was surprised by my strong reaction. She's been a dear to everyone and one of the few people I get to talk with. For example ... today was the first day I put on normal clothes and stepped out of the building.

Still 68 at 6:19 It was getting toasty inside but it'll cool to 40 tonight. A 30 degree difference high/low is very common in this high elevation (1.000 m) semi-desert valley.
