Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.
At least Mark Twain said so!
When I saw the weekly post from @beeber
@mypathtofire (get well soon beeber) all about the lunar new year and moons there was only one title I could run with..
"It’s a braw, bricht moonlicht nicht" is a line from the wonderful song A Wee Deoch An’ Doris by the even more wonderful Scots singer Sir Harry Lauder and this was released in 1911.
I wonder if @wwwiebe has a copy in 78s collection!
Translation as I am sure you are aware is It's a beautiful, bright moonlit night!
I love nature in all her glory. The moon to me is part of nature, is nature not interwined with the Universe, is the moon not part of the Universe!
I could go round and round in circle on a Saturday night...
Bottom line is that I love the moon.
**Do you celebrate the lunar new year? **
As a matter of fact it is only this year I was conscious of the fact we had stopped Chinese New Year and were calling it Lunar New Year!
I don't celebrate it, although my great grandfather was born in Shanghai and I have always wanted to visit during Lunar New Year as we call it now. That would be a celebration and a half!
FUN FACT This picture below typifies why ...
I bought my Canon Powershot camera. That picture is an example of my smartphone taking a moonshot, pretty meh and can't see anything.
ALL the other pics in this post are from my Canon.
Do you feel more like a moon or a sun person?
This to me is akin to asking am I day or night person, and truth be told I am often up late into the night and will probably once a week not sleep so does this mean I am a moon person or just someone with fluffed up bones making sleep not a reality sometimes!
Do you know of any old superstitions about the moon?
I remember a couple from my granny who was Edinburgh through and through, so whether these are typically Scottish or a quirk of Edinburgh I don't know!
1 Whenever you saw a new moon for the first time, you would courtesy if a woman while the man would play with the coins in this pocket and turn them over. Allegedly for luck!
2 A not so good luck superstition was that of a Saturday full moon, and that meant you would have crappy weather for that month!
Do I turn into a werewolf?
Ehm I don't think so, although I am hairy enough🤣🤣🤣
