FINISHING

Almost every woodwork job requires a finish of some kind to protect the surface from dirt, stains and moisture. Finishes seal the grain, reducing the likelihood of warping. Finishes enhance the appearance of a job by bringing out the full 'figure' (grain pattern) and colour of the wood. Every job and each wood has a finish most suitable for it.

Creosote is made of coal tar and is ideal for garden fences and similar jobs. It prevents rotting, and is cheap and easy to apply with a brush. For a teak garden seat raw linseed oil, or one of the specially formulated oils with synthetic resins, is best. In the damp steamy atmosphere of the bathroom, paint is best for cabinets and stools of softwood. Painting looks easy but each step - priming, filling, undercoating and final top coating - must be carried out with great care. Enamels give a bright and durable finish to children's toys.

A tea tray of hardwood needs a hard, heat resistant finish. Catalysed lacquers are specially made for this kind of work. The lacquer is bought in a two-part pack, lacquer and acid-based hardener. The two are mixed before use and brushed on. Usually fast drying, after rubbing down more coats can be added. Wax polish produces a fine sheen on all furniture. The wood is first sealed with a brush polish (a mixture of shellac and methylated spirits). After several coats, rubbing down between each, wax polishes are applied. Silicone waxes make the surface fairly resistant to water spills.

Varnish is oil-based and ideal for canoes and boats of marine plywood. A recently developed finish for the same type of work is polyurethane based.

Sometimes no finish is used at all for hygienic reasons. Wooden spoons, chopping boards and rolling pins of beech or teak are good examples.

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
    Gone far away into the silent land;
    When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
    You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
    Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
    And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
    For if the darkness and corruption leave
    A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
    Than that you should remember and be sad.

легко запомнить хоть и много

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Dinner

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

It is always
Nice to see you
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Is getting wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning 
As I'm listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

а тут слов мало:

Westlife - You raise me up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

 Welsh is a Celtic Language that is spoken in the principality of Wales, with some speakers in patagonia in the south of Argentina. It is very different from English. For example,'Welkome to Wales' is 'Croesu i Cymru' in Welsh. The celts arrived in Europe in the fifth centure BC.When the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain, the British Celts moved west and northwards.                                                                                                  Перевод: Валийский является кельтским языком,на котором говорят в княжестве Уэльс, с некоторыми говорящими в Пантагонии на юге Аргентины. Он очень отличается от английского. Например, "Добро в Уэльс" будет 'Croesu i Cymru' на Валийском. Кельты прибыли в Европу в 5 веке до н.э. Когда анго-саксонцы вторглись в Британию,британские кельты ушли на западные и  северные земли.
