Rolling

And constant movement…

Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around The Clock

Everything is constantly moving; nothing stays the same.

Winter never fails to turn to Spring, and time rolls by, as do the seasons.

The universe never stops moving; it continues to expand outwards, and we may never be able to travel to other galaxies or to the outer edges of our universe.

If you bang your fist on a table, the molecules vibrate.

Strangely, everything is recorded in the universe, and sound is the strongest force. It is our universe, and everything has a vibration. The Beatles’ music was sent into space, hoping to contact other life forms.

Hitler can still be heard ranting.

My favourite music genre was Rock and Roll and the Boogie. The Andrew sisters and the wonderful dances. Dance has been important throughout the ages. Music, also South American dancing, and the blues. Life was fun. A lot of dances arose out of depression, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now.

We all loved the music and dances. The younger generation appears to be more work-oriented, or glued to their phones. Sad.

So let’s play music and rock on…Chat with friends, and enjoy. Try to forget the problems of the world.
The channels, apart from Discuss Disqus, have already gone.
No politics or religion. Enjoy,

Don’t cast a clout till May is out
But the weather has changed to hot in the last few days.
Times and seasons are a-changing.

Also, music doesn’t sound like music these days?

Everything is moving in our world and universe; nothing is static.
Even stars move, but they are so far away that they appear not to move.

Travelling

North South East West. I say homes best! Or is it? But, I think my heart is divided between several different countries. Great memories of living on the west coast of Australia,and working on the east coast. Again, memories of the white hot summers, traveling around Antalia, and the Agean coast, and living in Istanbul. Turkey has the most unusual and exotic landscapes I’ve ever seen.

I’ve always been attracted to travel, but not the journeys by air, but not the recent stringent airports and their chaos these days. Airport chaos and now the dangers of being stranded due to wars and fuel shortages, are not fun or glamourous.

I loved being stranded in the coastal regions of Izmir, and a hare brained escape over the mountains back to Istanbul during the Cyprus invasion. I felt safe and enjoyed the adventure. I always feel safe there, yet some people get into dangerous situations?!

Do you enjoy travel these days,do you venture far?
I feel the need to travel but there is no longer the freedoms we enjoyed in the past.
Did you travel to far flung places?
I loved leaving grey skies of England, yet loved the green countryside. The sea was usually a grey color, except in Cornwall, which was a magnet as a teen.
I also lived in Italy, but although I enjoyed it somehow, I don’t wish to return.

Waterfall beach WA

When I went to some beaches in Aus, it was a long walk across white sand to the sea. I once thought we had gone to a desert by mistake, as it was such a long walk.

Petrified Mountain, West Coast, Turkey, PAMAKULE Side, South Turkey...pronounced see day.

My next trip may be to the south coast of the UK, one can still dream…
What are your travel memories?
Do you still yearn to travel or armchair dream?
Some have found their ideal place to live.
Post music, experiences, chat with friends, and enjoy.

You Make Me Laugh, You Make Me Cry

The sunrises and sunsets make me happy, a sunny day that’s not too hot.
My dog, when he enjoyed running on the beach or when he gave me his bone as a gift.
Watching the sea is calming or exciting when it’s rough.
Being visual, a picture can make me laugh, a video or movie.
Or a song plus a video. 
To see an animal like Violet neglected and in distress, or a person, I’ve been known to cry while reading sad stories or to see sad films like Billy Elliot.

Dogs are family. YouTube Violet neglected dog in the last discussion video.

Loved Jae’s gif…beautiful, and one from Kieran.
Mr Lee’s word pictures. Everyone here deserves a mention, but not enough space to add all the exceptional comments, but they are in my happy memory bank. Loved the contributions for moving pictures that came alive.

So enjoy sharing good music, books, memes, gifs or trailers that were perhaps your favorites.
Chat with friends and enjoy.
Steer away from politics and too much religion.
Enjoy, Lian and Kieran.

The Throwaway Culture of Rubbish

Our society is a throwaway culture.
When I was in Australia, you could pick up TVs, washing machines and most household appliances from the roadside. Some appliances worked, others were exchanged for a discount for something new.

I loved shopping at the SALVO—Salvation Army—it had two floors, one for clothes, then another for secondhand furniture.
I love recycling. Practically all my furniture and clothing is recycled

However, dumping rubbish destroys our planet, and there are rubbish mountains, creating methane gas. How do we dispose of all this rubbish? A problem.

People are also treated as of no value if homeless.
Some weeks ago, when the weather was cold, I went to our town square, and I gave a bag of warm clothes to a homeless lady pictured below, which were taken away…. The premise by the authorities was…if I don’t need you, you are rubbish!

Source: local press.

Apologies for spell check zi = I, days back = dates back.

She could not go to a homeless shelter because she had a dog. The council took away her warm clothes and bedding. She was so cold that she lost a finger and a toe.

I checked….to me, this is theft of possessions from the owner, and no one is allowed to sleep out, or on benches. Possessions are not returned.

What homeless person can pay €4,000? They would not be homeless.
She was sent to prison. However, people finally gathered together and offered her accommodation and a job, and to look after her dog.

She still has to attend court again concerning her recent arrest. I’m hoping the courts will be pressured by the interests of the people and the press.

California found a solution:

The fifties saw many homeless. Some glamorised the homeless culture with music, books and poetry. WH Davies for one.

Remember, respect all, no religious comments, or politics. Chat with friends, post music and stories, maybe solutions.

Enjoy, Kieran and  Lian
