it´s quotation time again...

O.k., these are sensible quotes:

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha


When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.
Thomas Jefferson


But right now I like these MUCH better :):

When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.
Mark Twain  


Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
Ambrose Bierce

weekend

The sun is shining, two days off, loooooooooooong "holidays"
in sight - life is good.
There´s just the tiny detail of a couple of weeks with an immense workload and a dentist appointment thrown in for good measure, ahead...but I try to see it as a sporty challenge ;).

Fish - pond - big - small

I need a new pond.
A bigger, or maybe just a better one.
Mine is too small and contains too many bloated small fishes which believe they are big.
The remind me of blowfishes.
I need a needle to deflate them.  
Or dynamite.
Or a new pond.


hubris [ˈhjuːbrɪs], hybris

Underwater dogs
Website of the photographer
The photographer also has a website which appeals to me a lot, it´s about improving the quality of the pictures of pets which need to be rehomed. I used to take pictures of the pets of our local animal shelter...sometimes I which I could still do that, I loved it.  
Thumbs up for this guys pics and his attitude!
