Another Thursday, another CCC prompt!
I admit to being a very bad employee. This is the third day in a row that I find myself writing a post on none other than my phone!
I have set up my bar, I have polished every surface as well as my glasses; I have even polished cutlery to busy myself. I have chatted with a member who sat at my bar to eat his lunch.
So, now, bored to tears, I found myself looking at Crispina’s lovely photo and suddenly hearing my father’s voice saying “Red right returning” and a haiku was born. So NOT the way I was gonna go but hey…why not?
Rules
Red right returning
When coming in from the sea
Must be respected
With all the 12+ hours shifts of late, I think you’re entitled to some sane down time. β€οΈ

It seems like a good use of down time to me!
(Does red right returning mean that red should be on your right when you return from the sea? Sorry–you can tell I know nothing about sailing.) π

I thought so…
Exactomundo!! And the green on your left. So you pass through a corridor, so to speak.

All well and good but red should be kept on the left when entering harbour, just saying.

Dear Dale,
I respect anyone who can post their blog from their phone. It sounds like you didn’t have anything left to polish other than your haiku. π Nice.
Shalom and lotsa hugs,
Rochelle

I’m glad you explained which is red and which is green cos, despite I live in a port, I didn’t know. I kinda expected red to go to port and green to go to starboard, cos it’s all long words together, and all short together.
However, now I’ve seen Bobby’s comment, and he’s saying t’otherwise. Best I don’t go out on a boat.
Like the haiku, glad you were bored. π

I know, right? I thought the same. Left = Port so why not re on the left?
Oh well…
Bobby’s just trying to cause trouble!
