Derinkuyu, Turkey- The Allure Of The Underground City…

For today’s Cafe Siesta, I’d like us to revisit this amazing City so that
those who are just following me now will also have the chance to see it.

Imagine a well-planned, well-connected, multi-tiered city in Turkey named

Derinkuyu, carved out of the stone underground. The history is incredible

and the fact that it has lasted this long in good condition is more amazing.

This may give food for thought about some cities of the future…

Hopefully, it won’t ever come to that…

I think we need a red wine for today’s slides…  How about a toast!

A little note of advice:

Wine drinking is not good for the line they claim. Still, one by drinking red winepomace. Usually the culprits ‘fatty food’ with wine. But keep it always in one to two glasses of red wine per day. Wine drinkers are usually not overweight people. …

Unlike beer, even at relatively high consumption of wine a ‘wine belly’ is very unlikely.

Red instead of white wine

White and red wine contain many calories, but the little grain of red grapes contains more antioxidants. Furthermore, alcohol (in moderation!) help prevent blood clots.

Cheers Everyone!

Hmmm…  Did I just say wine drinking in here? Well I really need a drink :)
But too bad there ain’t nothing in here… :(

So better I will just grab me a cup of coffee… hahaha

And in You Tube I came across this Film and Animation Movie of  Rocket Dog On Cartoon Hangover.

So it’s gonna be our Cafe Siesta for today:

I find this dog somewhat weird, smart, or some kind of a psycho dog? LOL

Over all it’s a funny film :) Enjoy it!

My son lost in the tournament but according to my good friend Mark Armstrong  as quoted,  ”In a case like that, winning is not really important. Having the experience is what’s important, and I’m sure it will serve him well. Just qualifying and getting into the tournament is a great achievement– he can be very proud of that.”

And I am so proud of my son :)

Here is the video of the fight …  Enjoy!

Still Snowing in Paris

Music Passion Update: Spring Has Come Apace And It’s Here… It Promises New Growth… Believe In It, Because You Can Never Hold It Back!

 

Our Music Passion for the month of March is the word “Spring”
And my offer to you is:

You Can Never Hold Back Spring by Tom Waits

 

 

And here are the entries…  Click each of my contributors’ (“says”) and enjoy listening to their Spring Music Passion :)  

 

Spring is Here – Yeah…!

a Sisbro Studio Production

 

 

I’ve chosen to celebrate with a rumbustious late medieval – early renaissance song, “Ecco la Primavera” (Spring has come apace) by the Italian composer Francesco Landini,
performed here by the hungarian multi-instrumentalist Arany Zoltán.

Spring Has Come Apace

 

 

Spring is coming and it promises new growth among established glories blooming once more. As this month’s entry on Music Passion must include spring in either the title or lyric, I chose “Wild Is The Wind” because it serves a double purpose. The song is a soundtrack made for a life-long, passionate love affair. and serves the purpose of this posts main content quite admirably. Last month David bowie released a video (see below) from his first album in 10 years. This month the entire thing is available on Itunes and is due out in stores shortly. But that’s not all. Also opening in London on March 23rd at the Victoria and Albert Museum is the the first international retrospective of the extraordinary career of David Bowie.

Wild Is The Wind

 

 

This month the theme is spring – regardless of the fact that the lot of us in the southern hemisphere are moving in to autumn and winter ;-)

So, here’s my contribution to this month’s theme – hope you enjoy!

You Must Believe In Spring

  • I asked V what would be the Music Passion for March and he answered, “How about “Spring”, since spring is about to come soon?”

So guys our Music Passion for the month of March is the word “Spring”.

And my offer to you is:

You Can Never Hold Back Spring by Tom Waits

I just found this song actually by looking for songs about ‘Spring” and wow his voice just entered in my nerves and even tickled my bones, it’s really hard to describe… Too beautiful to put into words.  Anyways it really is a good song.  There is magic and beauty in it. Enjoy! :)

ARTISTRY IN POETRY

VIRTUOSITY

I see things others could not see
But when these things I see are viewed
Everyone would be inspired, they all glee
They see beauty thru the images that I glued

I could have drama in my creation
Or portray humor in my imagination
Different strokes, unique variation
And of my own taste in coloration

Viewers would feel my inner being…
