Maggie,

Can you do anything with the volcano/ash/ruined holidays etc?

Or, I read a piece in the paper the other day about a christening gown that had been used for 6 generations. Could you do anything with that?

doesn't matter if you can't just throwing ideas around.

I hope the op was a success Maggie? Also hope she soon recovers from it.

Hi Ann ~~~~

Any ideas would be good ideas, cos running out.

Except for today when daughter went for eye op. Wrote it down as soon

as, my feelings about the awful day. Felt better after :))

ooh Chardonnay, any for me?

I think we get a set piece from Teresa on Sundays to do for either Thursday or Sunday Daff.l If we want to do another piece we choose our own theme.

Not sure Chardonnay will help the brain flow!!

mmm love the ambiance.. must check in here more often. I'll stick with the Chardonnay, it lends itself well , I think

fluffs up pillows and waits for ideas

take a peanut Daff :0

Ahhh what a lovely ambiance my dear, simply splendid. You won't mind if I swop the Chardonnay for a dinky little Viognier?? Nessypah??

I have an idea.....*winks......

*Fluffs up cushions, lowers the lights, puts on soft waiting music like when you phone BT or somewhere, and puts dishes of peanuts and crisps out*


Oops... forgot the Chardonnay and Australian Red....

Nope, BC we'll leave it to them what knows best, I reckon lolol!!

Love

Daff xxxx

I don't think we have a new one, Daff, you can pick a theme if you like? Or shall we wait for our Leader? XXX

erm..... did we have a new one yesterday? Did I miss the bus?

*frets*

Love

Daff xxxx

*nudges for inspiration.......XX

Well some good ones this week.

thank you Daff.

i have just sent another poem, they dont seem to write themselves on Sundays and Thursdays...lol

pleased you all had a good "meet"

xx

Spring!! Oh dear...... thinking cap on!!

BC...... may I borrow one of your themes, please? Very pretty please? *smiles winningly*

Stella, I am not sure if I critiqued your last one.... it was beautiful, I shall go back and check!!

Love

Daff xxxxx

Thanks Teresa for the 'Spring' theme, my favourite time of year. To dust off the cobwebs of winter.

Although I am quite looking forward to BC's "Murder in Spring" lol

Glad you all enjoyed the meet !

I am the same Teresa, I know nothing about poetry and it is difficult to think of something to say except...they are so beautiful, one and all.

And thank you all, for your kind comments.

Now 'Spring' eh? *ponders how to fit a murder or two into a story....lolol...

XXBC

Teresa

you have me blushing now, you see i admire the prose writers, we all seem to have our own personalties in our writing, mine and Maggie's are in poetry

thank you for the lovely compliment

xx

Can I just say, just for this week, that as I know nothing about poetry, but have read them all, I really do enjoy them all. There are some talented poets about, but really I can't say any more than the 'I enjoyed that' comment.

So, although it's a cop-out, I'm going to say here, to all of you who sent poetry, I loved them all.

Stella, your ears should have been burning on Saturday, we were all talking about you and your poetry and how talented you are. It was all good, promise.

*coughs and blushes*

So sorry ladies. I got carried away with other things and clean forgot. lol

Ok, well as we have had such a beautiful weekend, I think your short set piece this week should have a theme.


SPRING.

What does it mean to you? What do you like best about it?

Here's your chance to take us to wherever you are by using some good descriptive prose. Remember to use all of your senses, and build us a picture.

Still waiting!!!

Waits patiently for this week's task!
