Famous Clocks, Times Are A-changing
The fascination of changing time.
The Byrds - The Times They Are A-Changin'
This was a beloved clock of mine.
And some people have a clock depicting their profession or love of something.
A collectors antique clock, or one to fit a room like a bathroom or kitchen.
How did you choose a clock or watch that you have? Value, color scheme, profession, an alarm clock?
One person is still employed to wind this clock three times a day. He never retired.

The first clock
At one time you could tell a city by a famous clock.
Which city are you in when you see this clock?
If you see a clock with one hand only, which country are you in?
Hamelin in Germany has a famous clock depicting the pied piper who emerges on a chime followed by the rats that he led out of the city.

Many animals tell the time by smell, or light…dogs by smell and birds by light.
I always had a fascination for clocks, and their designs. However, these days not one of my clocks work. They are mainly antique decoration. I no longer have a coveted watch either. I look at my internet. Somehow times have changed. I used to have a beautiful watch on a chain, however I gave it as a present. They were popular in Victorian times.
Many people now have expensive watches stolen off of their persons if they display a Rolex.
The fashion of clocks has changed through time and technology.

Driving
I used to have a motor bike. First a Honda, and then a Kawasaki.
Although I got proficiency marks for driving, somehow I didn’t always enjoy it.
I preferred a bike to a car any day.
However, I live in a country noted for quite crazy driving. There are constant jams, constant roadworks, potholes and bad road manners, even fights between drivers!
When I first came here there was only one sat of traffic lights, and everyone ignored them.
Now we have a lot of traffic lights.
There is a lot of illiteracy here and many people can’t read. Also our road signs are all in English, daunting for many nationals who don’t speak English. Sometimes road signs are written in bad English. I once saw stop spelled as slop! And school is often misspelled. LOL.

Dog Restaurants, Cat Coffee Bars, And Restaurants Of Interest
Having seen the list of top restaurants, I just decided there is a lot more living to do!
When I visited Shinjuku in Japan, cat coffee bars didn’t exist, but both cat and dog restaurants/cat coffee bars look like fun.
I’m sure my doggo would have loved a restaurant, catering especially for him instead of being banished under a table.
He would have behaved beautifully but would not have worn a tux. He refused dog coats.

When I visit my Tuesday friend, her lovely Persian gray cat with amber eyes makes a bee line for me and the tuna in my bag…complete adoration and no place for her owner.
Petting animals and their company is very often therapeutic for humans.
As for an underwater restaurant, or one on a small island would suit me fine with a swim in a clear blue sea after dinner. Sea life swimming around always fascinates.

McDonald’s is absolutely not my thing. Ugh, disgusting.
When I lived in Shinjuku, Tokyo, we received a menu everyday and ordered delicious food. Many houses in Tokyo don’t have proper kitchens. I had packets of lemon meringue pie from UK I made in the tiniest oven I had ever seen for the Japanese family. Sweets and cakes were rarely on the menu, and their cakes tasted of air, not like our lovely puds and sweets.
One of the best places I ate in was on a beach in Italy. The food was divine and cheap, the sun, the blue sea, white sand and sky and romance was in Spinarollo, Italy. The music, the Godfather. Also nightclubs by the sea in Istanbul, can’t beat the food and views.
Most Unusual Restaurants In The World
Have you been to any unusual restaurants or your pets?
Would you like to try unusual food? Or unusual food venues?
What have your experiences been?
Lately, restaurants here are now expensive, touristy and not so good. The town I live in has refugees from Afghanistan, Korean immigrants, you name a far-flung place, and we probably have a new restaurant. Our town is becoming known for unusual ethnic food. So far, I continue cooking my own food. But I really should check them out and try.

A Sky Full Of Stars
We all love the sky at night, gazing into the starlit sky. We have a fascination for the moon and planets. They appear beautiful from afar, but is this reality for humans?
Could alien life be a danger to us?
More recently, our dreams to go into space and to travel the stars may well be within our grasp, but would you like to take the risks? Would you volunteer to go?
With the way life is going on our planet, would it really be a better option?
We live on our beautiful blue planet, but there is no peace. Perhaps we should tackle our lives here.

Recently, ladies took a short trip into Space. Orlando Bloom was amazed when Katy Perry informed him of her recent impending and actual space trip.
But would you really go into space? Two brave astronauts were stranded there, and the physical pressures aged them considerably, and perhaps the ordeal of being left there.
I imagine it wasn’t that exciting being stranded. What an ordeal!
We all romanticise space travel. There are many series that are interesting to watch, that we watched as kids and adults, imagining the excitement.
You may like to say which series you enjoyed.
At the beginning of Dr Who, I loved it, but as it ‘progressed’, my interest waned, apart from the fascinating Tardis. Blake’s Seven was addictive. Star Trek became a cult, and 2001 for music and movies.
David Bowie produced some good music, as did many others. All was romanticised or exciting for our dreams, aspirations and enthusiasm.

My wish on my great life’s journey is to view the stars and planets on my way, inspired by a lady I met who prayed for every star and planet. I spend more time praying/chanting for friends, enlightenment, and problems here on Earth, and trying to change karma.
So the subject is stars, planets, moons, Earth, adventure and the risks.
Post music, movies, memes, gifs and your muses on the subject or chat with your friends here.
Most of all, enjoy.
Remember, animals and spiders trod the path into space before you.
