Remembering Marvin

This is our beautiful Marvin, just a half year ago, presiding over my desk:



He's been ours for 17 years and a bit but now we don't have him anymore...

Just today, we came back from vacation and found him dead in his beloved garden - right outside the door with the flap.

He's now resting in the back garden, with a white rose - hastily bought - at his head.

Life is tough sometimes. But at least we have lots of fond and merry memories of him.

And did it taste good? Yummy, yummy, yummy!

One Thursday Night

A sky with the colours of a late night
Orange, blue, purple - gradually fading
down towards the quiet ocean.



On the beach it's a little windy
but the dunes offer their protection
and at their feet it's nice and quiet.

A group of friends, a team,
we're sitting in a close circle
chatting, discussing, working things out.

And while we sit there,
comfortable in each other's company,
the night is showing us it's colours
embracing us in its gentle cloak.
