Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 20, 2020

Around here, it’s getting warm enough that it’s more like perspiration.

Carlotta is preparing her shopping list. She needs an inspired menu.

Need a muse, Carlotta? Just look out the window.

Isn’t a pocket handkerchief (and a pocket) on a woman’s blouse unusual? I wouldn’t know as I have no fashion sense.

She’ll be waiting until the cows come home.

Don’t wait at home, Carlotta – go to the Diner’s and do your job!

I wonder who her friends and enemies are…

She’s looking at that tiny wrist watch she has on, she’ll be inspired to go to the secondhand-store and get a watch with a decent size face. It will have a digital readout because she heard that you’re supposed to keeps hands away from your face now.

Looks like a waitress waiting to take your order

Role playing.. Carlotta is pretending to be an executive secretary waiting to take inspiring thoughts from Herbert. It must be Thursday.. a different role each day, some are quite risque and raise eyebrows on Ballard street.

Carlotta awaits inspiration,

but her wait just inspires perspiration.

For soon she must go,

(I mean go with the flow),

and for that she expects an ovation!? ☺

Totally off topic, but what happened here? Ballard Street vanished from my list over a year ago, now today it is back. Anyone else experience this?

Looks more like she’s taking names and getting ready to Kick some…

As usual, her inspiration is late in arriving. Tsk! Hurry up, will you?
