the man that was Ernest Hemingway...

Been watching Ernest Hemingway's story on SBS since 7:30pm...
Hemingway hoped highbrow would read his work and low brow would appreciate his work...He was a transcriber of life...
So many facets to the man that lived many lives as Ernest Hemingway... https://t.co/TVOGzrnMoA

Hemingway enjoyed the art of Jack London, Rudyard Kipling and Paul Cézanne... 

Aromas of black coffee, exhaust, and dying roses drift across her skin like Hemingway’s breath. She bites into a buttery croissant and pretends the white cinder block patio is a Key West beach.
If only she had a good cigar & a bottle of Chianti. THEN she could write.#vss365

the use of 'plague'...

A little bit of wry plague humour doesn't go astray...
Perhaps the use of 'to plague' someone or something 'is plagued by' should be avoided now too...Perhaps such use, in the current climate, not so amusing... https://t.co/JJzFsMq7Ft

procrastination begone...

PASSING THOUGHT: Glad I stomped out my rising 'begin-the-weekend-with-procrastination' attitude = struggling to keep to 'early-shopping-is-covid-safer' goal...Supermarket shopping very very early today...And now, 11:00am...It's colder, more windy+misty and rainy...But I'm warm... pic.twitter.com/45umeMJ6nu

cloud bubbles...

In this covid universe of bubbles, even the clouds seem to be in synch...
Stunning sky... https://t.co/F0z8Zi44X2

some sad sounds of the lockdown universe...

Last year, in the lead up to her birthday my niece apparently asked one of her dolls to come to her party, and then acted out the doll saying "I can't, I have to say home. everyone has to stay home"

emerging flames...

The emerging flames of creativity, imagination and enchantment are snuffing out the bonfire of stagnant institutions...
Love these stunning thoughts...Meaningful and encouraging... https://t.co/F4yVESY8f3

street art at your feet...

Some of the most impressive street art may not need a wall to be dramatic...
It may be right at your feet, as this Newcastle street art proves...

look and think again...

A face that resonates with the beauty of wisdom and kindness...reaching for understanding and appreciation...
Never have some old lifestyle patterns seemed so fragile, so fractured...Never have some old cultural ways been so appealing...Lockdown is a wakeup call... https://t.co/h3ecEEtH7K

I woke up in a bed of clothes...

'I woke up in a bed of clothes and my pj's were made of plants. I sat on a rug of cats...'
Yes...A little fantasy is the new healthy reality...No need for vitamins from Chemist Warehouse...Just taste+drink in the possibilities of repurposing lockdown as a freedom...Bring it on... https://t.co/ib6RvT1Rp9
