Here are a couple of photos of the two Animals That Keep Me Sane for Frank’s Tuesday Photo Challenge.

First and foremost is my 10 year old cat called Snotje. As I’ve posted a while back, she rules my one person household. She’s a handful, and sometimes she drives me absolutely mad. And just when I’m about to kill her she just gives me an adoring look. And I just melt. And everything is alright.

And then there is my girlfriend’s Sophie, who only listens to her. Her whole life seems to revolve around just two things: food and my girlfriend. I’m only on her radar when those two things aren’t present. More than once she reminds me of that Joe Jackson song ‘won’t you be my number two‘.

‘Now junk, but once I was… somebody’s pride and joy’ is my submission into the Tuesday Photo Challenge – Junk. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust is the old saying. Unfortunately not everything goes back to ashes or dust that quickly. Especially since we abandon more and more ‘durables’ by the side of the road. From bikes (a true plague in the Netherlands) to TV’s and radio’s to toilet bowls. Even motorbikes and cars. It is strange to think that these abandoned pieces of junk once were someone’s pride and joy. I have been ranting about this in previous posts. But here’s the gist of what we find abandoned in the streets once more.

So… despite our good intentions, we’re drowning in the consequences of material wealth. I.e. our junk! And we don’t really give a shit.
