A Saying from Tirol - Found in a Bishop's diary

A duck that is swinning for fun in a river is a very happy duck, but, a duck that is swimming in fat in a pan in the oven is not very happy at all!!1

Ein Spruch aus Tirol - gefunden im Tagebuch eines Bischofs

Ein Ente, die zum Spaß im Fluss schwimmt, ist eine sehr glückliche Ente, aber eine Ente, die im Fett im Ofen schwimmt, ist überhaupt nicht glücklich!!!

December Words 

December ends yet another tired and worn out year.  And, this is why December would like to believe it's still part of November. December is still dark.  But, gradually even this darkness is leaving and going elsewhere.  The longest night has already left and the light has started to turn.  But, December has to be forced to be happy.  We help it each year.  Advent and Christmas.  And we even bring our own colourful lights and much more as well.  But, nevertheless, no one really likes December. No one can wait for its end. There are, after all,  happier times round the corner.  And, much better than now.  NAJ 2023

See you in January!

November 2023

November Words

November is a sandwich,  A sandwich of dark and black with a thin slither of light as a filling.  November touches eternity.  November reaches out to the extremes of our understanding.  November is bigger than the whole and as powerful as the whole. Darkness to darkness.  But, remember, when it gets dark the morning always comes.

August Words

We've reached August again.  It was waiting all the time.  And now, having climbed this slippery hill, we have come to the top of the year.  The days are drawing in, the nights getting longer, and the smell of the north is high up on the wind. There is a chill in the air.  Summer is losing its strength.  All that is left is our annual slide downhill  to the end of the year and Christmas.  We can't escape Christmas. It will always be with us wherever we go.  A certaintity.  But, next August is a certainty, too.  Enjoy the coming months.  They  will come and go whatever we do!

July July is a 2 month month!  On the one hand, July is a month that has arrived at long last.  It's been a long time in coming.  A very long wait.  The holidays are here at long last.  No more school until autumn.  Time stretching out as far as the eye can see.   

On the other hand, July is a month that has come far too quickly. Where has  time gone?  Doesn't time pass!  The days are now getting shorter.  

July is the top of year.  The next 12 months are both downhill and uphill.  Time at full speed.  A rollercoaster ride.  Back to where we are now. July is a 2 month month. Alpha omega alpha. Hold onto your hats.

June Words by Nigel A.  JAMES -  June is a month of perspectives.  An English speaking perspective and an Austrian /German perspective.  And, June is an intertesting month, because June is an interesting word.

In England, people say June.  In Vienna,  people say "tune". This is the same as singing a nice tune, or being in tune. In England, couples dance to  romantic tunes and  not a nice june! And, in Austria, people waltz to beautiful tunes composed by Johan Strauss.  And, of course, Strauss isn't only an ostrich with its head in the sand,  Strauss is a bunch of nice flowers as well.

And, June, too, is a beautiful name.  June, in fact was a famous Greek goddess.  The goddess of being half-way-there.  And June played beautiful tunes in June on her Lyra.  And, that's why June is called June in England and Tune in Austrian Tirolean villages and Vienna.

June is a month  going down in gear. June is getting ready for speed.  High summer is just round the corner.  Our decisions are behind us.  Now we must live them. 

June is in its own way the best month of the year.   A Tune or a June that sits squarely in the middle of the year.  June is both alpha and omega, or, if you prefer, omega and alpha. 

June is a month for singing in tune in June, or a month for singing in tune in Tune in Tirol!

This month's saying of the month  from Tirol.

If you want to stay little - Then stay little in a very big way!

May 2023

Fast Food - by Nigel A.  JAMES

May!   May is here again.  The door way to summer.  Hot summer days are just round the corner.  May is a month for poets; A fine May day! A silent May day!  A beautiful May day.  Birds, flowers, and so on.  A call for help.  Mayday  Mayday! SOS!  We are sinking.  August day  August day, Help us!  This just doesn't work.  May is a May day party. A celebration. A Maypole is somethig to dance round.  A May Pole is a baby born in Warsaw in May.   Why celebrate work?  A marching day.  A month of asking.  May I do this, that, or, whatever?  Come what may.  May is here again. May it be hot, may it be cold.   May May be just as it pleases!  May I buy you a drink?
