Lives of great men will remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And,departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Longfellow

I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

so, it's back to the epicurean trail again, after that silver service slap-up greasy spoon type breakfast, I gather.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be getting better and better, and now, with the improving weather, turning into a really fine expedition, despite the elephant grass.
Green gill time: myself, off to some stone breaking, on the morrow.
B is looking forward to your acquiring a nice long boat.
As I said to RR you just have to take whatever comes along.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for more surprises tomorrow. The plan is already written.
By the way long boats are what Vikings use to cremate their dead. Canalists have narrow boats
she knows that, but, besides bringing them here in the first place, their lineal engineering descendants glide silkily through the myriad green channels of fabled oriental waterways - as two of your 'heroes' knew well (not Sir E of course - an entirely different sort of boat trip, I gather!). That's the sort of trip 'in mind'.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that lovely soufflé-looking dish on the plate, front and center?
ReplyDeleteGimmer- not sore what you mean a out the heroes.
ReplyDeleteThe Crow - hi Marth. It is a baked fish pie crammed with white fish and prawns in a fabulous sauce and tipped with creamed mashed potato Nd Cheddar cheese.
All - one I have typed some comment I cannot go va k and correct typos, so you may need to use a bit of guesswork
ReplyDeletere your last comment - we all presume this sudden outbreak of typos is due to too much sauce with the mash
