The Fallen Elm
Een nature's dwellings far away from men,
The common heath, became the spoiler's prey;
The rabbit had not where to make his den
And labour's only cow was drove away.

“But love, first learnèd in a lady's eyes,
Lives not alone immurèd in the brain,
But, with the motion of all elements,
Courses as swift as thought in every power,
And gives to every power a double power,
Above their functions and their offices.
It adds a precious seeing to the eye;
A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind;
A lover's ears will hear the lowest sound,
When the suspicious head of theft is stopped:
Love's feeling is more soft and sensible
They are the tender horns of cockled snails:
Love's tongue proves dainty Baccus gross in taste.
For valor, is not love a Hercules,
Still, climbing trees in the Hesperides?
Subtle as Sphinx; as sweet and musical
As bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair;
And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.
Never durst poet touch a pen to write
Until his ink were tempered with Love's sighs.”
― William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost

Rural Morning
While oer the distant fields more faintly creep
The murmuring bleatings of unfolding sheep,
And ploughman's callings that more hoarse proceed
Where industry still urges labour's speed,

The fields are all alive with sultry noise
Of labour’s sounds, and insects’ busy joys.

Love,s labour,s lost ... Death By Chocolate ... De Phazz
De phazz is my mood music of choice
They have a signature sound
But no 2 songs are similar
I try to photograph like that
Throw in the unexpected
I hope not to be predictable
Nice intricate simplicity !

To "take care about the garden", to buy some candies for the children, to arrange that drawer, to sleep a little more...anyway, forget about the work, only for now and reserve some time for you.
Can you guys from different countries over the world tell me: is it Labour's day also for you all?
Cuidar do jardim, comprar alguns doces pras crianças, arrumar aquela gaveta, dormir um pouco mais...não importa, reserve algum tempo para você, pelo menos hoje.

'After being a member of the Labour party for sixty years Jenny Manson, co-Chair of Jewish Voice for Labour, has had enough.
She has resigned.
She first joined as a “Young Socialist” in 1965. In reaction to Labour’s discriminatory policy towards immigrants she and others were part of a self-styled “Disaffiliated Labour” group at Oxford in 1966 though none of them resigned individually.
Active in her local Labour party, a branch chair etc, she was a Labour councillor in Barnet 1986 to 1990 and prospective parliamentary candidate in Hendon North in 1987. In 2018 again, backed by Momentum and local JVL supporters she put her name in the ring to be PPC for Finchley and Golders Green in 2018. John McDonnell supported her but, in the face of near violent opposition from right-wing anti-Corbyn Labour members locally, she decided rather to focus on her work with Jewish Voice for Labour.
But now enough is enough.
In her resignation statement Jenny says
The Labour government has failed to recognise the genocide in Gaza or to take any action against the full scale of all the Israeli government’s war crimes.
It is also impossible to support a party that has abandoned all ethical standards and betrayed the vulnerable. The government courts and copies the right. I am the daughter of a refugee. The Labour cabinet demonises refugees and all other immigrants, and feeds xenophobia, racism and intolerance.
She goes on to refer to the refusal of Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper to respond to the letter 300 plus Jews wrote to them on 5th August:
“At ‘Your Show’ in Liverpool on September 29th and the press conference for the “the wrong sort of Jews…are right” on the morning of 30th September, I will call out HMG for its contemptuous rebuff of the letter signed by more that 300 Jews, addressed to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding action to support the Palestinian people.”
This letter of 5th August 25 (linked to below as Appendix 1 )was updated with additional signatures on 12th August. Its opening words were:
“We are Jews who oppose the genocide by Israel against the Palestinian people, the reality of which is agonisingly on show every day on radio, television and social media. Opposing the brutality of genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza and the West Bank, including taking direct action, is not antisemitic. Nor is it terrorism. We consider the proscription of Palestine Action as illegitimate and unethical.”' - www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/jenny-manson-co-c... ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️Llyn Trawsfynydd, Meirionnydd Gwynedd
The Calliphoridae (commonly known as blow flies, blow-flies, carrion flies, bluebottles, or greenbottles) are a family of insects in the order Diptera, with almost 1,900 known species. The maggot larvae, often used as fishing bait, are known as gentles. The family is known to be polyphyletic, but much remains disputed regarding proper treatment of the constituent taxa, some of which are occasionally accorded family status (e.g., Bengaliidae and Helicoboscidae).
The name blowfly comes from an older English term for meat that had eggs laid on it, which was said to be flyblown. The first known association of the term "blow" with flies appears in the plays of William Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost, The Tempest, and Antony and Cleopatra.

The Fallen Elm
Een nature's dwellings far away from men,
The common heath, became the spoiler's prey;
The rabbit had not where to make his den
And labour's only cow was drove away.
Shakespeare at Delaware Park. The 2nd longest running Shakespeare troupe in the United States, has been running every summer for 44 years. This year's plays were The Tempest and Love's Labour's Lost. They do one drama and one comedy every year. Always a wonderful relaxing evening.
I have managed to find this Tawny Owl a couple of times when I have looked hard, and both times I have spotted its mate perched nearby, but I have not managed to spot any youngsters so I'm worried this pair may have failed to breed successfully. Curiously this bird that usually perches most openly is a grey phase bird, while its mate that is usually more concealed is a rufous phase. But I don't know which is which as males and females are indistinguishable on plumage but they make very different calls. Males make the drawn out "hooo-ooo-oo" while females respond with a sharp disyllabic "kew-ick". William Shakespeare wrote in Love's Labour's Lost "....Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note". So Shakespeare seems to have been describing a pair of duetting Tawny Owls, as no Owl actually sings Tu-whit, Tu-who.
I've mentioned it before but it's worth mentioning again that in John Ray's Ornithology published in 1678, he thought that rufous and grey phase Twany Owls were different species. Moreover, he thought that the female's "kew-ick" and the male's "hoo-hoo-oo" were thought to be calls from the two species.
If houses here are green, I’ll step inside a house.
If bridges here are sound, I’ll walk on solid ground.
If love’s labour’s lost in every age, I’ll gladly lose it here.
If it’s not me, it’s one who is as good as me.
If a word here borders on me, I’ll let it border.
If Bohemia still lies by the sea, I’ll believe in the sea again.
And believing in the sea, thus I can hope for land.
If it’s me, then it’s anyone, for he’s as worthy as me.
I want nothing more for myself. I want to go under.
Under – that means the sea, there I’ll find Bohemia again.
From my grave, I wake in peace.
From deep down I know now, and I’m not lost.
Come here, all you Bohemians, seafarers, dock whores, and ships
unanchored. Don’t you want to be Bohemians, all you Illyrians,
Veronese and Venetians. Play the comedies that make us laugh until we cry.
And err a hundred times,
as I erred and never withstood the trials,
though I did withstand them time after time.
As Bohemia withstood them and one fine day
was released to the sea and now lies by water.
I still border on a word and on another land,
I border, like little else, on everything more and more,
a Bohemian, a wandering minstrel, who has nothing, who
is held by nothing, gifted only at seeing, by a doubtful sea,
the land of my choice.

Youtube Hoping love will last Steve Hackett Randy Crawford
There are many friends
that I once knew
Who felt the same
special thing that I share with you
They've grown apart
in different ways
I wonder if
someone hears as I start to say
I'm hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last
On and on, on and on
Why do I dream
love's labour's lost
I'm just a face
with a name that you soon forgot
But when I'm scared the most,
the nightmare ends
Then safe and sound
I awake in your arms again
I'm hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping love will last
On and on, on and on
How can I
go on alone
when your love,
when your love is all I've known
Sometimes we stay
many miles away
You know you're here
every minute throughout the day
Within my thoughts,
Within my thoughts so take good care
I only wait
for the moments we both can share
Hoping love will last
Yes I'm hoping, hoping love will last
On and on, on and on

This was a tough week for me, not because of the theme itself, but due to the fact I'm still in a lot of pain following my car accident the other week. I'm still very good friends with the pink fairy elephants with the sparkly wings.
The idea for this came during a drug addled dream\doze and fortunately the weather played ball with the clouds and the tide was out far enough to let me stand here without getting soaked.
Not your traditional valentine's or love shot, but then I have never been one for traditions.
Week 7 - Love

Labour's Zionist, genocide supporters who sympathise with the racist Israeli regime... "Even as this genocide has been ongoing and as the bodies of small children have mounted up, leading figures in Labour, Friends of Israel, Margaret Hodge, Louise Elman and Ruth Smeeth, now Baroness Anderson, have continued to visit Israel and to be photographed with President Herzog, a man who has said there is no such thing as innocent civilians in Gaza."
youtu.be/IETxE7VErPA?si=hTVJN3_CzNenDr28 socialistworker.co.uk/news/it-s-margaret-hodge-who-has-pe... 16/07/25: "Gaza’s children and elderly are bearing the brunt of the devastation inflicted by Israel’s war on the enclave, as the United Nations warns of a sharp rise in amputations, long-term disabilities and severe hunger.
More than 40,000 children have been injured since the conflict began, and nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s population has been displaced, often multiple times."
Ragged, contradictory, lacking honesty, full of holes. This is my opinion of the Federal Government and it's attempt to develop a Climate, Emissions and Technology policy. The very worst of Green Wash which will leave us in the hands of the denying National Party MP's and coal carrying Liberals. These are the people that have had 8 years to develop something credible after dismantling Labour's comprehensive, market-based suite of programs. After all they debased ARENA ( Australian Renewable Energy Authority} this year to accept fossil fuel projects! They have no credibility like the Murdoch Press' breath-taking hypocritical "Green and Gold "headlines recently.
I am waiting for the rest of the world to move on and punish us for our stupidity. Apologies for the rant but...

Like many Canadian artists of the day – such as Yvonne McKague Housser, whose works are on view in this exhibition – Harris was influenced by Precisionism, the American movement that emphasized urban and industrial scenes in clear light and geometric forms. Here, she gives her evocation of an Ontario town a warmer inflection, with a single shirt hanging on a clothesline hinting at daily life being lived. Pink-tinged skies suggest the pleasures of evening and labour’s end on the quiet street.
The Gothic-Romanesque style is evident in the main entrance door to the Temple Church.
Fans of the Da Vinci Code (the movie and Dan Brown's book) may remember Temple Church as one of the London locations Robert Langston visited while attempting to solve the riddle:
" In London lies a knight a Pope interred.
His labour’s fruit a Holy wrath incurred.
You seek the orb that ought be on his tomb.
It speaks of Rosy flesh and seeded womb. "
Its why I went but, sadly, it was closed when I visited.

....." Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not uttered by base sale of chapmen's tongues. "
..........William Shakespeare.....( 1564 - 1616 )
.....British dramatist, poet.
..........Love's Labour's Lost.....Act 2. Sc.1.
' Love's Labour's Lost ' is one of William Shakespeare's early
comedies, published in 1598.
Tawny Owl is by far the most numerous breeding owl in Britain but I probably see them less often than the other four (Long-eared, Short-eared, Little and Barn Owl). Despite having around 50,000 breeding pairs throughout Britain, they have a knack of staying well-hidden until it is too dark to see them. I hear them very frequently calling at night, but I only actually see a handful each year. I remember one keen birdwatcher who had been actively birdwatching for about 5 years and he still hadn't clapped eyes on one. Yesterday I was on my exercise walk and I heard frantic alarm calls from a Blackbird coming from a thicket. I peered inside and there, to my delight, was a Tawny Owl staring right back at me with huge dark eyes. On the rare occasions I do find one during the day they usually keep their eyes shut. No matter how hard I tried, I could only get part of the owl through tiny windows in the foliage, but I thought it was worth uploading anyway. Male and female Tawny Owls are indistinguishable on plumage but they make very different calls. Males make the drawn out "hooo-ooo-oo" while females respond with a sharp disyllabic "kew-ick". William Shakespeare wrote in Love's Labour's Lost "....Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note". So Shakespeare seems to have been describing a pair of duetting Tawny Owls, as no Owl actually sings Tu-whit, Tu-who. This is the female's kew-ick immediately followed by the male's hoo-ooo-oo.
Pro-Israel lobbyists have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members since they were first elected to parliament. They include Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy Yvette Cooper. The total value of the donations amounts to over £300,000.

The Calliphoridae (commonly known as blow flies, blow-flies, carrion flies, bluebottles, greenbottles, or cluster flies) are a family of insects in the order Diptera, with 1,100 known species. The maggot larvae, often used as fishing bait, are known as gentles. The family is known to be polyphyletic, but much remains disputed regarding proper treatment of the constituent taxa, some of which are occasionally accorded family status (e.g., Bengaliidae, Helicoboscidae, Polleniidae, and Rhiniidae).
The name blow fly comes from an older English term for meat that had eggs laid on it, which was said to be fly blown. The first known association of the term "blow" with flies appears in the plays of William Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost, The Tempest, and Antony and Cleopatra

London, UK. 4th March 2017. National #ourNHS demonstration. Marchers rallied at Tavistock Square to march through the streets of London to Parliament Square. They were calling for no NHS cuts, no closures, no privatisation. The march was organised by Health Campaigns Together and The Peoples Assembly. Estimates of the number marching varied between 200,000 and 250,000. Here in Whitehall amongst others at the front of the march are British soap star Kacey Ainsworth, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and Len McCluskey.
The day is done, the winter sun
Is setting in its sullen sky;
And drear the course that has been run,
And dim the hearts that slowly die.
No star will light my coming night;
No morn of hope for me will shine;
I mourn not heaven would blast my sight,
And I ne'er longed for joys divine.
Through life's hard task I did not ask
Celestial aid, celestial cheer;
I saw my fate without its mask,
And met it too without a tear.
The grief that pressed my aching breast
Was heavier far than earth can be;
And who would dread eternal rest
When labour's hour was agony?
Dark falls the fear of this despair
On spirits born of happiness;
But I was bred the mate of care,
The foster-child of sore distress.
No sighs for me, no sympathy,
No wish to keep my soul below;
The heart is dead in infancy,
Unwept for let the body go.
Poetry: Emily Jane Brontë
