“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY MAKES A HAPPY SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF: BOB AND FAY ARE HERE IN SINGAPORE
RORY MAKES A HAPPY SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF: BOB AND FAY ARE HERE IN SINGAPORE I have been away from home for two months or so. The two months could have easily be two years. That’s how I feel. Just before the dinner hour I heard a car drive up to Prime Minster’s Wong’s compound andContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY MAKES A HAPPY SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF: BOB AND FAY ARE HERE IN SINGAPORE”

RKS French Literature: The Court of Miracles in Paris (Victor Hugo)
The poor poet cast his eyes around him. He was in fact in that same Court of Miracles where no honest man has ever penetrated at such an hour – a magic circle in which the officers of the Châtelet and the sergeants of the provostry when they ventured thither, disappeared in morsels – theContinue reading “RKS French Literature: The Court of Miracles in Paris (Victor Hugo)”
RKS French Literature: The Danger of Following a Pretty Woman at Night (Victor Hugo)
As a practical philosopher of the streets of Paris, Gringoire had remarked that nothing is more favourable to a state of reverie than to follow a pretty woman without knowing whither she is going. In this voluntary surrender of one’s free will – in this fancy of another, while that other is totally unconscious ofContinue reading “RKS French Literature: The Danger of Following a Pretty Woman at Night (Victor Hugo)”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: SO WHY DID I SURVIVE THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BOMBING?
SO WHY DID I SURVIVE THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BOMBING? When all 144 passengers on the train perished why did I survive. Can puppies have survivor guilt? I’ll figure that one out later. Taken off the train to pee by “butler” Keith 7 minutes for before “Thar she blows!” A fluke? Mere chance? TheContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: SO WHY DID I SURVIVE THE EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS BOMBING?”
RKS French Literature: Necessity Can be So Ungracious! (Victor Hugo)
‘Tis an unpleasant thing to go without one’s dinner. ’Tis less gratifying still to go without one’s supper and not know where to sleep. Gringoire was at that point. Without food, without lodging, he found himself pressed by necessity on every hand, and he thought necessity very ungracious. He had long discovered this truth –Continue reading “RKS French Literature: Necessity Can be So Ungracious! (Victor Hugo)”
RKS French Literature: Esmerelda Dances (Victor Hugo)
Every look was fixed upon her, every mouth was open in the circle about her, and, indeed while she danced to the sound of the tambourine which her two round and delicate arms lifted above her head – slender, fragile, active as a wasp – with her golden girdle without a fold – her skirtContinue reading “RKS French Literature: Esmerelda Dances (Victor Hugo)”
RKS FRENCH WINES: Château Mayne-Viel Fronsac 2019
Aroma: Creamy blackberry and cassis with a deep blueberry core. Palate: Creeping tannins making the wine on the verge of “tannic”. Chocolate, smoked meat, pepper and disguised black fruit. Long but rather dull finish. Personality: Serious but showing its age. Might have been exciting a couple of years ago. Food Match: Mushroom Wellington but pleaseContinue reading “RKS FRENCH WINES: Château Mayne-Viel Fronsac 2019”

OPERATION EPIC TURKEY: EXPOSED ON TELEVISION PROGRAMME “MALAYSIA TONIGHT”: THE ROLE OF CANADA Canada had been in President Orville Grump’s sights during his second term of office chucking countless threats its way.
