Mornin’ all. Inner Westies here. Shakespeare was born and died in April a long time ago. There’s our theme.
To be, or not to B&B – that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles…
Here’s the sea, luckily trouble free today.
Kane and Braden (Hamlet): We know what we are, but know not what we may be…
Anthony (and Cleopatra who was missing)…Give me my robe. Put on my crown. I have immortal longings in me.
Baby Emma, Cathy, Alan:(Midsummer nights dream): ..Though she be but little, she is fierce!
Luke and Lisa: (The Tempest) We are such stuff as dreams are made of…
David celebrating his 500km (Hamlet): The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream…
Shakespeare reading at the beach…..
Renee and Glen: (All’s Well That Ends Well): love all trust a few do wrong to none
(Sonnet 18): Can I compare thee to a summer day?
[Weather report today: 22.0, bit cloudy, Autumn day..]
(As you like it): Can one desire too much of a good thing ?
[Essential coffee after swim].
Team effort this morning. Emma, Fi1, Fi2, Mickey and Marie.
Alls well that ends well….

Great literary Blog !
Shakespeare was the guy who supplied the instruments of torture to schools thus making other parts of the curriculum seem easy peasy

As Shakespeare wrote in As You Like It
“All the world’s a swim
And all the men and women merely swimmers’.

Did he not write
“The pellet with the poison
is in the chalice with the palace;
The vessel with the pestle
Has the brew that is true …”

Hey Roger,
That quote is from one of my favourite films of all time (the fabulous Danny Kaye in the Court Jester) – not quite Shakespeare!

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”

A friend of mine commented wryly that “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day… Could only have been written by a Pom. An Australian equivalent “Shall I compare thee to an absolute scorcher! ” wouldn’t have quite the same sort of ring…. Where would we be without Shakespeare. Thanks for an amusing blog.
