Symi Dream anagrams (‘Is my dream’ included)
We all have plans and hopes for the year ahead wherever we are: time for a change, new directions, new ideas, fresh starts, no more… promising to do this or that. All I know is that I plan to have a new novel out this year and a new book of travel stories and Symi anecdotes, all mixed together. Watch this space for developments.
New Years’ Eve was spent at home with the godboys who were visiting with their mum for dinner and some TV, some merriment and a quick stand on a cold roof at midnight to see the… Well, it was a quiet one. A few church bells, a couple of flares in the harbour, a solitary dynamite, a lone firework from somewhere over towards Pedi. Economic issues probably had something to do with it. In New Years of the past there have certainly been more bangs and boobs [that was a typo I left in for you, it was meant to read ‘booms’] and whistles and ships’ horns blaring; there were no commercial ships in the harbour last night, no Symi I staying overnight as in the old days, nothing like that, so it was peaceful and clear (loads of stars) and a little on the chilly side. But, inside it was warm and friendly and everyone everywhere is looking forward to a better year than 2016 brought the world.
Having said that…
Did you know that ‘President Trump’ is an anagram of “Red Mr Putin’s pet?”
It’s also an anagram of “Permitted Spurn”, so, as it’s clearly allowed, that’s what I am going to do, at least until the madness of the USA and the shambles that currently seems to be the UK start to get the better of the world. I’m not even sure if I can write ‘the UK’ anymore, maybe it should just be ‘the K’ as it doesn’t seem very united. Come to think of it, it’s not a kingdom either, it’s a queendom, so maybe we should just call it ‘the Q.’ And you can decide for yourself what that stands for.
Did you also know that ‘Theresa May’ is actually an anagram of ‘Smeary Hate’, ‘Ate my share’ and ‘Yea! Ms Hater’?
Well there you go; and there I’ve been and I aim not to return to the subject for a while at least. So, I will head off into 2017 with you, hoping that you will follow the simple rules of appreciating Symi Dream:
- Enjoy and share
- Ignore typos
- Tell everyone to buy the books (listed on the right >>)
- Click on the adverts if you want to help pay for the blog hosting.
(It doesn’t cost you anything, the random advertisers pay. I shouldn’t actually ask you, but as long as no-one is looking…)
I will leave you with a few choice anagrams of ‘Symi Dream’ to get your new week, year, diet, resolutions, off to a good start.
Symi Dream: Admires my… (blog posts?) Mad misery… (hope not) Die smarmy (probably will do, one day) May’s mired… (couldn’t resist that one) Is my dream… Re my maids… (been watching a lot of Downton Abbey since Christmas) and several others that are too rude to post here (as they all involved the word ‘rim’).
As you can see, I have a lot of time on my hands this morning but it is running out, so I must get on, get back to the routine and start finishing one of those promised books. Look out, this year, for ‘The Saddling’ (a kind of rural Gothic mystery/thriller – I do like to mix genres) and ‘Symi, Stuff & Nonsense’ (a selection of travel and Symi anecdotes).
