Funny Money

I am busy counting my money.

Not that money, the other kind.  The toy stuff they use down south. Euro!

Euro are like sheep; same singular or plural.  My Elly told me years ago – and she knows everything – never use the term ‘EUROS’ because it is a naughty word in the Greek language.  It must be very bad since she would not translate it for me!

So I am counting my Euro 🙁

My little purse that holds them from one visit to another is feeling old, tired and empty.  It has served me well, first used many years ago to keep foreign currency from one years holiday to the next.   French Franc, Deutsch mark, Irish Pound, Italian Lira, Portuguese Escudo, Greek drachma, Danish Crown, Spanish Pesetas & Maltese Lira all found a resting place between holidays.  Today languishing in th bottom are a few Euro.

Now let me see… Twenty… twenty two…twenty four… five, six seven…50c…

No need to go any further  I have enough ❗

Reply: Mmmmmmmmm !

Steel grey sky.
Snow on the hills behind my house.
Ashes cleaned out from fire place.
Ash dust on mantle shelf.
Fire lit.
Porridge eaten.
Hugging warm coffee cup.
Heavy overcoat and Russian hat going on as I head off on today’s adventures.
Your heat is beyond my comprehension.

Stay sane.
