Nice to see you. <BR/><BR/><B>Nicola</B> I have just been running through the possibilities of combining shards and sprouts but all I can think of is that I don't like either - though for different reasons, obviously.<BR/><BR/>Bonfire with sparklers sounds lovely.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-41012128441337547032007-11-26T10:59:00.000+00:002007-11-26T10:59:00.000+00:00dear Signs, I cannot believe how often my life see...dear Signs, I cannot believe how often my life seems to run in parallel with yours. Last night, opening the freezer to take out some peas, a bag of sprouts I had been hoarding unfurled itself onto the floor, sending little green bouncing bombs across the room. Luckily, none of them shattered, but I was forced to clear them up immediately before they became a mass of soggy leaves.<BR/>I have not done justice to autumn, <BR/>my favourite season also. Except for one evening, climbing the hill beside my house with my youngest to gather remnants from the tree house to make a bonfire with beneath the bats, sparklers in our hands.<BR/>I'm glad you are posting again - I have missed you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112821049194722614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-35724579898801169012007-11-25T19:21:00.000+00:002007-11-25T19:21:00.000+00:00Ok!!!!!!As for shards, moon, etc etc.I say cant we...Ok!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>As for shards, moon, etc etc.<BR/>I say cant we write what we want???<BR/><BR/>Hope things are going well with you Signs.<BR/>xx.Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-8915596829773174232007-11-25T19:17:00.000+00:002007-11-25T19:17:00.000+00:00What are ugg boots????I am going to have to go and...What are ugg boots????<BR/><BR/>I am going to have to go and have a look see...<BR/>ack in a mo...Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-88635943925179265202007-11-24T23:16:00.000+00:002007-11-24T23:16:00.000+00:00I don't mind shards.

I think I might attract the attentions of the poetry police for at least two words used in that last sentence, but frankly I don't care. <BR/><BR/>My feeling about 'shards' is that it's undoubtedly had its day as a metaphor but there is no other word to adequately describe the annoyingly tiny, ridiculously sharp and outrageously ubiquitous debris that results when you drop a glass object from a height onto a terracotta floor.<BR/><BR/>xxx<BR/><BR/>PantsPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712642194215828800noreply@blogger.com
