HoW Quotes: 12

HoW far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

William Shakespeare

right...

...I've played around on the computer, loaded the dishwasher, am boiling the kettle for a second cup of coffee or maybe I will try the chilli & cocoa tea I bought yesterday... 
Then I will finally get down to it!  To writing a list for the things I need to get down to over the next 4 days... and maybe get some things on the list ticked off too today, nothing like ticking off things to feel like progress.

4 days!!! HoW exciting ;)

HoW Wonderful

Bad news reversed and Michael will be there after all - what better reason for a glass (or two) of wine?

HoW Quotes: 11

If I'd known HoW much packing I'd have to do, I'd have run again.

Bad news...

Damn Mexicana! 
Michael we hope you can come up with some other plan so we can meet you in the flesh

HoW to play the Dictionary/Fictionary game

I'm not saying we have to, but suggesting that we might, and it would be an idea to come prepared ... the Dictionary / Fictionary game is similar but simpler/speedier to the Ex Libris game that Gita mentioned.   It's just a matter of choosing an obscure but interesting word from a dictionary and asking for definitions - I can guarantee that hysterical giggling will emanate from me and Gita, with or without alcoholic lubrication. 

So, Be Prepared by making a list of half a dozen words in advance.

My all time, and partially appropriate for this event, favourite was 'mallemaroking'
There were several interesting possible meaning put forward for this by the then participants, and no-one guessed that its true meaning was  'the carousing of seamen in icebound ships'

HoW Quotes: 09

We must believe in luck. For HoW else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

Jean Cocteau

HoW good - a week today ...

Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness without a doubt today - more duck egg in the blue of the sky, the neighbour's Virginia creeper now red-edged and the pavements littered with the orange dots of rowan berries.   Later today - 'after one o'clock' - I go to Yarm to collect our dollars, and later still, on television tonight, is a programme on Katrina - an amateur video account of its unfolding.

Hotel life...

Murder trail left on
white hotel pillows and towels,
red brick hair dye bleeds.


the maid HoWls?

HoW rude?

Just checked into the hotel for the night and dammit had to pay for internet access to feed my blogging addiction and blow me if in the "package" you don't get free access to adult movies... hence the question, how rude?  Kinky College Girls; Dirty Asian Girls; MILF Magic 3 etc etc... Oh well, it's only temptation & we all know how good I am at resisting that ;)
I'm going to succumb to the urge for a good curry instead!  Maybe keep my mind ticking over with a haiku on the situation...

How Quotes: 08

HoW Quotes: 07

After three weeks of combine harvester drone we now have muck spreading.   Just hope the pervasive reek fades before next week.

Jon Bon Jovi ... and you can hear, and see him here

arghh

it is early.  i have my passport.  i have not had more than twenty minutes of consecutive sleep all night.  in the five hours that i tried.  waiting for the hot water to warm up while you are in the shower because no-one else in the block is up yet can go into Dante's modern circles of hell.

HoW Quotes: 05

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. HoW on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Albert Einstein
