Flowers in your hair.....

Flowers in your hair.....

I’m not usually the moody type but today my job #1 (ie translation) is driving me crazy. If you want to be my friend, please never pronounce the word “hedge fund” in front of me....

and

Because some mornings are tougher than others

Because no matter what the bills keep pouring in

Because when it rains, all you can do is watch

Because the song you sing might not be heard

Because you're much too frail in this world

Don't try to be strong, to be the change at all costs

Be a humble you, play your little part

Play like a fool but do play with

Flowers in your hair and a smile on your lips

Pick up flowers and have a great week end !

In Cuba we have a saying for your type of question (in regards to the word you want to translate): 'Me la pusiste en China!' That means that it's a very difficult situation to get out of. 'Hedge Fund', bwoy (as they say in Jamaica), I would have to sit down take my head off my shoulders, get the tools out and rummage through my old grey matter to find the answer. Mind you, I would be missing my eyes.

Have a fab weekend.

Greetings from London.

Flowers in your hair. Flowers by your bedside. Flowers in pots on walls of houses where you live. Even when life is tough, ahhh... flowers. There is so much joy to be had from such a simple thing. You give wonderful advice after a day like today. I'm going to follow it. I hope you do, too.
