You like tomato and I like tomahto…

La Tomatina

 

 

Lord Oarlock liked the La Tomatina, with its splish and splash of tomatoes on virginal naked skin so much so that he funded one for his local village garden-fete. Unfortunately, owing to a misunderstanding, the tined tomatoes resulted in legal charges that made it expedient that he remained in Spain.

Rhossili Bay[8]It was on the rocky slopes,
as I recall, west of Swansea
on the way to Rhossili Bay
with the wind set to wet
when we met too soon
our eyes for others
made me a fool
and you so cold
so we passed on by
until our time and place
of the midnight moon.

Wortharead Wednesday #17

These are the Twitter (#vss and other wise) stories that caught my eye over the past few days. I tend not to feature the very popular Twitter authors or publishing houses on the basis you will have found them if you are interested. My process is that I favourite any that catch my eye during a day’s viewing as well as doing a search via various #hashtags on Wednesday.  To hold my interest, I want for example, an unexpected twist, a quirky idea or scene, a playful use of words or my curiosity nudged into a ‘hmmm.’  A laugh or an aww won’t hurt either. This usually leaves me 20+ stories that I whittle down to five for no other reason that I can. Click on the image or name if you want to visit the story site. Or on the date stamp to go direct to the story.
