Dragonfly: Nobody does it like the Brits

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2012/06/nobody-does-it-like-brits.html

Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Nobody does it like the Brits. I wasn't able to watch the whole four days of celebration, Queen Elizabeth 2nd, her Diamond Jubilee. What a long weekend! One person remarked that without the royal family Great Britain would just be Britain, I agree because no one else seems to understand and carry off the pomp and circumstance that fascinates the rest of the world.

Dragonfly: June 2012

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 12, 2012. What a strange world. We have been watching and listening to news about the Euro bail-out plans. It's hard for me to understand how such huge figures are bandied about, surely only figures on paper, not paper money. Greece, with a population of 10 million wants 110 BILLION Euros, Spain with a population of 43 million needs a mere 100 BILLION. I'm not the best there is when it comes to budgeting and saving but really, billions? 1 person of those 100 would be dying of starvation.

Dragonfly: Colour Me Disillusioned

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2012/08/colour-me-disillusioned.html

Thursday, August 16, 2012. I had assumed that the competitors in the Olympics, talented thought they may be, were all amature sportsmen and women. In fact I had bemoned the fact that professional tennis and soccer players were entered, it seemed rather unfair, why not allow the young amatures a chance? How wrong I am. It seems all the contestants can be classed as professionals, they receive pay for what I had foolishly believed was the honour of representing your country. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather ...

Dragonfly: August 2013

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 26, 2013. So, it's just on a year since my last post, sorry but you know the old expression about life throwing a curveball (never understood the curveball thing), such is life. Tomorrow number one son will be 46 - yikes it's only ten years ago that he was born - or so it seems. Life has changed so much since Sion, Samantha and Timothy enriched our lives forever, spouses, grandchildren life ever-expanding. Such joy. Sledging on the cricket field - do they kiss their mothers with those lips?

Dragonfly: March 2012

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 20, 2012. If you love something, set it free. After two exciting episodes of flying across the office and scaring the crunchies out of his "parents" I realised ( with much prodding from the love of my life) that the time had come to visit the vet and have those wings disabled. We were the only ones there and went straight through to the surgery, I put the cage on to the operating table, Merlin eyed the vet and the scissors and thought "Aye,aye". Yikes Rowland's going to kill me! So, wings ...

Dragonfly: August 2012

Monday, August 27, 2012. Oh The times They are a Changing. We bought a Bob Dillon CD at the weekend - yes folks, we do still pay for music and movies, quaint I know. It's good listening but it also started me thinking how different life is now. I read the on-line newspapers most days so you can imagine my shock when I clicked on to one of the "overseas" papers only to be confronted by silly schoolgirls baring their boobs. Why do they do that? Are we moving back in time to when girls were so undervalued?

Dragonfly: June 2011

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The evolution of the trouser pocket. Once upon a time all a man needed when he went out was a hanky in his left pants pocket, his wallet - either in the right front or right rear pocket and, if he was fancy, a comb in his sock.His wallet contained only money and perhaps a condom as the devil hadn't yet invented credit cards. What a happy fellow he was and, he was able to scoff at the ladies with their silly handbags that held everything except the kitchen sink. I played hookey t...

Dragonfly: November 2011

http://amar-dragonfly.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. And it's good news. Yesterday, 21 November 2011, in The Hague, the International Children's Peace Prize 2011 was awarded to Michaela Mycroft, age 17, from Cape Town, South Africa. Reading the blurb about this remarkable young woman I love the description. Where others see limitations, she sees possibilities; with her positive attitude, she is an inspiration to many". Suffer the little children. You know how it is, you're carrying a little too much weight but it's okay, the die...
