There may be another post to remind everybody to switch blogs with me, but this is it. I fill them up fast, that’s for sure. After Ishita told me about imagecompressor.com, I managed to make this blog last almost two years, and for this I’m grateful.
I’m looking forward to number six which is called An Embarrassment of Riches with the add-on Not really embarrassed. It starts tomorrow, but today there is a Prepost. Meanwhile I have equipped my new About me with (lots of) photos. Warmly welcome!
And now, the end. It gives me pleasure to end with a mermaid poem for Patrick’s Pic and a Word challenge. The mermaid has landed.
I used to be a mermaid, look at me now I used to be a mermaid. Legs were a mistake. Legs are a bad construct. First they grow together, then they hurt apart. Now when I swim, my legs are happy. Uselessly they dangle. No more weight to carry, No more pretence of mobility. No more fish. Therefore beware before you crawl and land on land.
In response to Patrick Jennings’ Pic and a Word Challenge #280: Construct
This day in my blogging history
Thank you for the link to image compressor. Will have to start using it.
Cute mermaid poem🙂

I’m so glad you find it useful, Smitha! It was your compatriot Ishita at the Italophilia blog who told me about it. The poem started in my mind as I was swimming yesterday, and my legs dangled effortlessly, and uselessly. Thank you! Make sure you make a switch to my new blog if you haven’t yet.

Thank you, Bojana. A peculiar poem to end a blog with. Mom called it sad. I felt those useless legs dangling in the sea.

Ooooh, now I understand why your feet struggle: you are a mermaid! They have done pretty well, considering what was asked of them, and they must love the days when they get to be in the water again. ❤
