rain...

It rained and it rained and rained and rained
the average fall was well maintained
and when the tracks are simply boys
it started raining cats and dogs.

After a drought of half and hour
we had a most refreshing shower
and then the most curious thing of all
a gentle rain began to fall

Next day was also fairly dry
save for the deluge of the sky
which wetted the party to the skin
and after that the rain set in.

small pleasures

What small pleasures make your day and bring the moment alive for you?

-Getting to the stop just as the bus pulls in (especially when finding the bus empty)
-Reading the books or e-mails or my favourite blogs when I should be working.
-Laughing so hard with my kids,or my friends that I can’t breathe
-Seeing green things
-The weight of a sleeping child in your arms.
- Putting henna on my hands.
-Ginger, cinnamon, mint chocolat biscuits.
-Drinking tea in a mug.
-Walking in long grass.
-The sun on your face on a mild day.
-Having the kids in bed with me.
-The smell of just-washed bed-linen
-The feeling of warm water on my bath.
-a book good to lose myself in.
- and so on...



and you?

who has left?

My first is...

Dear St. Nicholas: I send you a puzzle, which I hope you will print:

My first is in your body,

Quite useful in its way.

My second flows in Italy,

And flows by night and day.

My third, a thing to cook with, is

In every kitchen found.

My fourth's a common article,

A very simple sound.

My fifth folks often get into,—

The careless ones, of course.

My whole, a clumsy animal,

Is partly named for horse.

R.N.P.

Answer: Hip-Po-pot-a-mus, hippopotamus.

How many...?

*****************************************

How many legs does a dog have, if you call the tail a leg?

Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg -

¿Cuántas patas tiene un perro

si llamamos pata al rabo?

Cuatro.

LLamar pata al rabo

no lo convierte en pata.
