Will I Ever Be A Granny - A Simple Poem

Aug 27A photo Aug27A_zpsafb7af1d.jpg
Will I Ever Be A Granny?

Will I ever be a granny?
With a grandchild on my knee
Will I ever watch a grandson smile?
And clap his hands with glee

Will I be in my rocking chair?
With my shawl and frilly lace
Or will I still be young enough
To have powder on my face?

Will I have the strength to lift him?
When he toddles to my side
Or put out my hand and rub his head
When he is restless and tired

Will he want to come to granny?
To rest his weary head
Or perhaps he'll throw a tantrum
So he can sleep in granny's bed?

Will my legs be strong and steady?
When I take him by the hand
To watch the hens and ducks feed
Off this green and grassy land

Will I be able to hear him chatter?
When he's telling me of school
Or perhaps he's like his father
And is stubborn as a mule!

Mind The Waiter

Have you seen this traffic sign before? It's in Spain. It's rather a good idea for coastal cities and beach towns, where the front row buildings are almost all taken by restaurants, bars and cafes.
These establishments are also clever enough to apply for license for the terraces directly opposite them for commercial use, right by the sea front if not exactly on the beach itself; an extension of their business. Even in Madrid, a mountain city with no beaches, but that doesn't stop them have terrace tables and seats, almost as many as those by the beach.

Didn't someone famous say that Spain is a nation of bar goers? There are certainly more bars or eateries than any other business in any area, that makes you wonder how is it possible that they all seem to be full most of the time. I have been to many countries in the world, and I think China is probably the only country that might even top their number of eating & drinking establishments in any given square mile.

Spain is blessed with fine weather in many parts, and the national habit of outdoor living contributes to steady, all the year round business, even in winter when the sun shines just as brilliantly. This means that waiters are working most of the year having to run back and forth across the road every few minutes, with non stop traffic, with a full tray of food and drinks out to the terrace, and empty glasses and plates back. Needless to say this causes great inconvenience to the vehicle drivers and hazards and danger to the waiters.

Let's hope more coastal towns copy the idea and more drivers exercise extra caution.
