Joke About Humility

Q – What do you call flour that has an ego problem?

A – Self-Praising Flour.

(and yeah, I made that up all by myself – without any help!)

Twirly

Is it too soon to say that it’s a nice day? Possibly. Is it too early in the day to wish someone a good morning? For sure, not. Is it too early in the morning to be starting in on the blog? Heck, yeah!

What did I dream of last night? I’m sorry, but I can’t really remember. I was too full of the comforts of being asleep – wrapped in a double-thick duvet, head atop a just-right pillow.

What have I thought about this morning? Nothing much aside from taste and toothpaste, hot showers and cold, ic...

HobKnobbing

I’m thinking of writing a book about famous men through the ages with particular reference to their nether noses.

I wonder if there’s any relationship between the size of a man’s nether nose and his propensity to take and wield power, whether in terms of physical wealth, business acumen or worth as a warrior.

Would you be willing to buy such a book? And, pray tell, would it need to be illustrated?

Pillow Talk

sublime
the feel of you
the heft of your flesh
the way you embrace me
oh sweet, sweet one
you’re my love
my dream

Naked Whore

Rubber, rubber in a drawer
With plastic sleeve and latex core
And uses I cannot ignore
Like pencil marks and naked whore*.

Identity Parade

Will the real Robert C Day please step forward! Or all the rest of you step back – it makes no odds. Either way, I want to see who you are now. I want the scales to fall from my eyes so that I can see you truly.

Why do I say this? Because it strikes me that there are so many sides to me that I’m in danger of becoming less of a human bean and more of a geometrical figure (think about it, think about it). And who wants to hang out with one of those!

Actually, don’t worry about it. At the end of...

My Lifestyle Blog

I just realised, after visiting Tiffany at https://tiffanybelleharper.com/about-me/ that I am a Lifestyle Blogger!

A Lifestyle Blog is, apparently, a “digital content representation of its author’s everyday life and interests. A Lifestyle Blogger creates content inspired and curated by their personal interests and daily activities” (http://mediakix.com/2015/06/what-is-a-lifestyle-blogger/#gs.ptcNjFA).

So there you are. That’s the style of the way the thoughts in my head are trending me toward...

The Year I Tightened My Belt

I’ve had the same belt holding up my jeans since I was a teenager. It has five holes and I’ve used them all at various times. For the last several years it has been on the last hole. Oh, don’t worry – there was never any danger of it moving any further, even thought it has felt tight at times. But here’s the thing: last year – 2017 – was the year I moved it back a notch!

Want to know how I did it? Then subscribe to my podcast at …

Only kidding.

I think some of it was because in 2017 I started...

Where Am I?

Now that all my accounts are hooked together, I’m wondering where this post will land. Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

A New Beginning

[image error]I want to start blogging again. Any objections?

I have more to say. Showering is particularly problematic because I get ideas whilst the water pours over my skin. My mind has nothing to do but look at pure white tiles. It idles and then sparks into life. Flashes of genius penetrate and generate thoughts. Then they just … disappear. It’s sad when stuff disappears without trace so I want to share it with you instead. Would you allow this?

I’ll understand if you say that you will not have me (no...
