"Enjoy every moment you have. Because in life, there are no rewinds, only flashbacks." ~ Anmol Andore

Grandma used to tell us, "Keep things simple, and be kind so you can enjoy life, when it doesn't make you happy, set it aside or toss it away forever."

Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. “It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.
“Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” 
“I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. “I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.
“That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.
“C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.” “Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.
“Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.
“Here he comes now!” Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston

In celebration of World Book Day, here’s a poem called ‘Book Group’.

Trump's British bullies with a byline The so-called patriotic newspapers are gleefully doing the US president's bidding.

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”

Albert Einstein

#Standuptobullies. No more wars in my name no more sacrificing our young people on Trumps fortune building.

Hurrah we are finally standing up to the orange bully. No more wars in our name. Thank you for your attention x

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
