Engleza de joi/ Gardening leave

Gardening leave = a period of time after an employee leaves a job when they continue to be paid but are not allowed to go to work or to begin a new job.

Your employer may ask you not to come into work, or to work at home or another location during your notice period. This is called “gardening leave”.
You will get the same pay and contractual benefits.

A Blissful Last Day of March!

Love

“Love is just a trick…”
If so, it works. Love made me cycle in the cold to visit the beautiful trees of Spring.

Out of love for Spring and Vincent:

 

Return of Spring

Spring is where my heart is…

Pictures of all my blooming trees and the yellow fire of folstitia:

I like what Mr Ondaatje’s writings do to me.
They take me to a world without maps, to where I can find love in the beat of the wind and the shine of the desert.

“We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.

I wish for all this to be marked on by body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography – to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience.”

“All I ever wanted was a world without maps.”

“A man in a desert can hold absence in his cupped hands knowing it is something that feeds him more than water.”

“She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them. Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape.”

Engleza de joi/ Have an axe to grind

Have an axe to grind = to have a ​strong ​personal ​opinion about something that you ​want ​people to ​accept and that is the ​reason why you do something.

I have an axe to grind about fairness…

Or as dear Somerset (Maugham) used to say: “It is unsafe to take your reader for more of a fool than he is. ”

 

What I have learned in business is to always dress up the truth in the most beautiful words I can muster.
