Evensong in Windsor Castle, Adventures round London

So I've finished work, and just went for a drive round the south of England. Hmm. Not much fun by oneself, especially with English roads

Into tempation lyrics - by Crowded House

She

She is cute and sweet and fun and she said my eyes were very brown and that I had nice hands and that she couldn't quite "get" me. and she might just like me.

To his Coy Mistress

To his Coy Mistressby Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love's day;
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood;
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

        But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.

        Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may;
And now, like am'rous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Will it matter in five years?

http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/08/will-all-of-this-matter-in-five-years.html

Ask yourself this question when things go wrong - You fail and exam - will it matter in 5 years? Probably not.

Use this to plan your life to, from small things - is brushing my teeth worth is - probably it will matter in five years, to more important, should I watch tv or work on my project? What will matter more in five years? To the big - will what I do for work matter in five years? Maybe, by earning the money, you can achieve your dreams outside of work, but what if your work could matter in five years also? Hmm.

Hrvaski - Croatia

Croatia - a beauty of sun and of pebble
of bus trips with coastlines that shimmer and breathe
of bus trips with coach drivers that go with their whim
Land of soft drama and love of quick talking
with fresh splashy water and heat that's a warmth
Old cities of buildings that draw breath away
Of workship and nature that's melded together

Hvala and Dobra and Nema na cemu
Of Islands and ferrys and old women rooms

And people of friendly and straight talking type.
Women of beauty, the beauty of nails
Hot and cold passion, never lukewarm
Hard outer shell that's so changed when it changes -
To soft and vulnerable as she sleeps on your shoulder
