But it's Sunday, that bad boy should have been cracked open hours ago.

Mam of 4 · 10-10-2021 04:23PM

Duvet , call for me , I'll be ready !!

It'll blow over , there'd be something wrong if we all agreed all the time I think anyway , doesn't mean one person is more right than another . Different opinions...makes the world what it is , Real.

This place is a coffee shop or park or pub. It's impossible for everyone to get on all of the time.. We're not feckin care bears or teletubbies or what have you. This is not a school playground, anyone can put anyone on ignore or leave etc. We're a relatively standard cross section of people.. No more and no less.. We have developed a lovely thread though.. That is no doubt.

With all that in mind, let that be the last of the on thread debate.. Please contact me or another mod. Let's get on with getting on.. Thank you.

Duvet to be honest I feel you are showing off when you mention you are getting Lennox's, especially when we in the south east don’t have potato pie, just saying 😉 but keep posting about that and about wine and I’ll keep posting about G&Ts 😂 🥂

(one positive about the new site, I can post cheers emojis).

Mam of 4 · 10-10-2021 05:53PM

@Poochie05 , at least in the South East ye get sun ! In the Midlands here we get neither the sun nor the pies 😵

Ah no , it's not that bad here ...

Just in from an Autumn evening stroll with Grumpy. Its really beautiful out there. It's evenings like this that make Autumn my favourite season. Really hoping this fine spell lasts a bit longer and I can get out to Killarney on a freedom day. I would love a stroll around Muckross before the leaves fall. There is nothing more beautiful than a tree in Autumn and the ripe smell is divine. I feel a Keats' poem coming on🍁🍂🌿. Anyone remember that poem from the LC and care to share a few lines?

Purple Mountain · 10-10-2021 06:11PM

Happy Sunday evening all. Like you, Sardi I was out in nature today planting spring flowers.

I had to take my sweatshirt off.

I could hear a rustling in the trees and it was the leaves because every so often a fall of them would come down beside me.

I don't usually like autumn but with weather like this, it's much easier to know the winter is looming.

I'm making my way through a bag of monkey nuts, that's one perk I like this time of year: monkey nuts and toffee apples.

I can't think of the poem you mean, Sardi. A handful of monkey nuts awaits the first correct answer 🥜🥜

Poochie05 · 10-10-2021 06:23PM

Absolutely glorious day, even sat out in the sun for a bit. A few bright days like this definitely help

Mam of 4 · 10-10-2021 06:30PM

Seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness. .. probably wrong poem 😀

@Purple Mountain , a day for the garden indeed , was gorgeous out , my wellie boots got an outing😊

Gremlinertia · 10-10-2021 06:59PM

Ahh the work trundle. Poo.

Sardonicat · 10-10-2021 07:03PM

@Mam of 4 , that's the one! I think I'll look it up.

Never heard of that one, don't think that was one we did on LC.

Mam of 4 · 10-10-2021 07:25PM

Lol lucky guess from me @Sardonicat , I often remember lines like that and haven't a clue where they're from ..

Yes, yes. I know you're a child. You probably did that new fangled LC with film on the English curriculum. Pah! I suppose you didn't suffer through Peig for Irish, either?

I think I still have my copy of "Soundings" in the attic. I hated school, but I loved that book. Strange to think I used to love poetry. These days it tends to make me roll my eyes. Where did that girl go to?

Those soundings books were selling for a pretty penny a few years ago.

Gremlinertia · 10-10-2021 08:04PM

I still love poetry but almost anything taught in school i was put off from (of?) Bit like Irish, the way i was taught discouraged me

10-10-2021 08:07PM

Was the poem about walking through the woods and taking the path less worn? Can't remember it now but loved it at the time. Peig on the other hand was tough going.

I got loads of washing dried today, looking forward to getting into my bed tonight, love the smell of bedclothes that were dried outside.

HildaOgdenx · 10-10-2021 08:17PM

The line that goes through my head at this time of year is 'the trees are in their Autumn beauty'...

The Wild Swans at Coole, Yeats. I love seeing the trees as they change colour. Fabulous day again today.

HildaOgdenx · 10-10-2021 08:19PM

The trees are in their autumn beauty,

The woodland paths are dry,

Under the October twilight the water

Mirrors a still sky;

Upon the brimming water among the stones

Are nine-and-fifty swans.

You're actually wrong, I was of the Soundings generation! English was my favourite subject and actually during lockdown I thought about buying that little book online to reread it.

There is actually worse than Peig in my opinion. A book called A Thig Na Tit Orm. That was the book that broke my sanity and drove me into OL Irish although I was quite good at Irish all through primary level.

Memories!

I’m as drunk as a skunk, good night all

Autosport · 10-10-2021 09:40PM

Wasn't a fan of school.

Sardonicat · 10-10-2021 09:49PM

Seeing as we've had both Keats and Yeats quoted on thread it seems plain wrong to not add a few lines by the great bard of my youth, The Mosser:

A dreaded sunny day

So I meet you by the cemetery gates

Keats and agents are on your side

While Wilde is on mine.

You have a great eye for images, both funny ones, and inspirational ones.

About to head to bed having done a late night Teams call to Lahore for work, hay ho I know it's Sunday night but the money is good and will get to have a lie in tomorrow morning and an easy day after that. Spent a lovely Sunday visiting extended family up in Tipperary, some of whom I hadn't seen in a year and a half because of covid restrictions so great to catch up today.

I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)
