2023-05-21 02:02:03 Untrue Romance
by Tom Baldwin

Fenella wrote romantic novels, which were eagerly read by her many fans. All her heroes were tall, handsome and faithful, with voices and bodies to make women tingle.

Her husband was an ordinary man, with ordinary human failings, and a very ordinary body.

Fenella still loved him, but in bed she kept subconsciously comparing him to the growing number of perfect lovers in her mind. He knew he no longer pleased her.

Then she found he was having an affair.

Fenella’s next book was about a woman who murdered her husband. It was non-fiction, and hand-written.

is when someone texts or calls on a sporadic basis, normally because they know you will respond.

They will seem to be pursuing you, but in reality have no intention of being tied down to a relationship.

They just like leaving you breadcrumbs, like a trail in Hansel and Gretel, to string you along.

Myth.

It is true that adult elephants can't jump. But there are other mammals that can't either, like sloths, hippos and rhinos.

Although, unlike elephants, hippos and rhinos can have all four feet off the ground at the same time when they run.

2023-05-13 06:32:46 Somewhere Only We Know Keane
Cover by Rhianne

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm gettin' old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm gettin' tired, and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Repeat

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Repeat

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go?
So, why don't we go?

Ooh, hey, hey
Oh-oh-oh
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?

Repeat
