Hey Johanna, you and Moonlit were talking about a book but I can't find the post that names the book!? What is this intriguing book with Magritte in it?


Man plans. God laughs.

It's this:

Green, John. “The Fault in Our Stars.”

It's available in iBook store, if you're interested.

It's September. We have holidays when it's hot, in July and August.
December mostly is a month without snow, sometimes even January is too "warm" for snow. This year was an exception. We had snow from January to April.

Really? We've had snow for three years on the trot. The rumours are that we in for another but I'll believe it when it happens. Uk is the same as Austria. In South Africa where I was educated it was January.

 

[J. A.]

Really. It's usually this way here. We have experienced years without snow or not much of it as well.

My son sent something like this to me in an email today. I needed a few seconds to understand what it means (still thinking in German):

Actually, this is only the key to the final frontier. The actually frontier is just a push further.

My brains are working extremely slow today. Could you please explain what you meant?

Sorry.

The final frontier is space (at least according to the Star Trek intro). What is pictured though is only the space "key". To actually get space, you must 'push' it. 'Tap' would actually work better for the iPad keyboard, or perhaps 'turn' since it's a key, but I was not clever enough make those work as puns, even bad puns.

The reason this is a pun at all is that 'key' holds several meanings in English. Besides key on a keyboard is also a device used to unlock something, or it can be used to describe something, abstract or concrete, that is essential to use, unlock, or understand another something.

Hope I didn't just confuse you further. English really is an odd language, but fun.

Now I get it! Thank you!

Nope, me either! I'm not sure what the mix is called? I can read one name then a letter and numbers. Do you happen to know which parts are the address or store number? If not, no worries. I will just take a screen shot and get them to match it! That color along with a greenish blue in the same shade or value are YUMMY together! Thanks for the photo! Much appreciated! Diane. Man plans. God laughs. Love and Beloved.

Here's a closer picture of whats on the can , sorry I cannot elaborate further and apologies for the delay :
