I could do with some light relief of your kind. A kick in the shin will do.<br /><br />Onions? I believe it was Sartre in one of his more charitable and romantic moments who said (of woman) "Ca pleure comme ca pisse". <br /><br />He was onto something. There is a school of thought that believes the mind plays out via the body and vice versa. So when my father went down with bladder cancer (he has been clear for the last fifteen years) I told him he should have shed tears (water) more often in his life.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-6991988896627752742018-06-03T19:10:36.881+01:002018-06-03T19:10:36.881+01:00It's over 200 years since Shelley wrote this p...It's over 200 years since Shelley wrote this poem.

Thanks for that,...Ginger Alpaca calling once more.<br /><br />Thanks for that, YP. A good match for "The Lady of Shalott" (Tennyson). Some years ago, and I don't know what came over him, GG (gay guy) sent me a rendition of it, his own voice underlined to good sound effect with rain, thunder and lightning. To this day I can't peel and chop a shallot without thinking of him (on his psychiatrist's advice he dropped me without a backward glance). Give me an onion.
