Do you ever find yourself….
between a rock and a hard place?
Hope that doesn’t happen to you this weekend and that you have nothing but fun and smooth sailing.
I found myself there this week during a meeting. I hate those moments when you want to speak your mind but the words just don't come out right. Happy weekend to you my friend.
Did you know this saying has its roots in ancient Greek myth? "Between Scylla and Charybdis" was the most dangerous place on the sea, a place of turmoil between a pair of monsters who lived on opposite ends of the Strait of Messina between Italy and Sicily. If you tried to avoid Scylla, a six-headed monster in a rocky shoal, then you were forced to sail close to Charybdis, a great whirlpool.

Oh yes, several times.
You are correct, that is the mission where the swallows return. I didn't see any but, did see the nests.
Fortunately not as often as I used to. It's about time something is better the older I get!
That's such an illustration of the say, well done! Guess everyone has been there at some point...
God bless you!

On the other hand it's a dream for rock climbers... sorry just trying to not be worried when our son goes climbing...
Thank you, Magpie, and I wish the same for you!
I like rocks. It's the hard place that is the pill. :)

Whatever you do, do it with grace!
