    ...Close bosom friend of the maturing sun, conspiring with him how to load and bless with fruit the vines that round the thatch eves run; to set budding more and still more later flowers for the bees, until they think warm days will never cease, for summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cells.

    Okay am showing off now ;)

    Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
    Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
    Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
    Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
    Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
    Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
    Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
    And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
    Steady thy laden head across a brook;
    Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
    Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

    Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
    Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
    While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
    And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;
    Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
    Among the river sallows, borne aloft
    Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
    And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
    Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
    The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
    And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.



    A description of autumn or a process of life?

    God or money? I could say neither is of consequence, except i know, you need money to exist. Aside from that, this is what i've been trying to say all along. Its the soul in the body which is important, not the window dressing.


    All the best things in life are free, if you know how to find them and appreciate them. But i firmly believe there is only one person who can change your destiny, and that is oneself.


    I know you will come along and say you don't have to be alone, god is there to help. :p

    Salt for thought?

    WHAT YOUR BISCUIT REVEALS ABOUT YOU


    CUSTARD CREAM - The ideal biscuit for escapists. The ornate frond design dates from Victorian times. They are relished by people who want to take time out and disappear into their own world.


    I've always hated custard creams. :rotfl:


    One of my favourites, the GINGER NUT


    BELOVED of the adrenalin junkie, they are a dangerous biscuit. They're hard enough to break a tooth and a bit naughty and spicy. They have an international following and are chomped by free thinkers who like to push boundaries.


    Hehehe

    Well I don't need to seeing as you've already said it! ;):D

    Love the rest of the poem by the way. :) I had forgotten there was more! My A level English teacher would be ashamed of me. ;) I had never thought of it as a description of life. Have you come across this one?

    And guess which biscuits I was choosing between this morning? (As well as bourbons that is).
    And guess what's sitting by the kettle right now? :D

    Personally think my favourite would be Jaffa Cakes.

    Miggy's wonderful, totally amazing *declutter an item or more a day* for 46 days till 7th October list: :D

    1. 23rd August pretty Christmas bag, plant label, handful of receipts, broken dried flowers (all rubbish shoved into a bag in a quick tidy!)
    2. 24th August a few weeds, plant food bottle, 3 Avon catalogues, finally finished unpacking my suitcase - and DS2 has thrown out a carrier bag's worth of old clothes and donated a bin liner full to charity. :A Cushion cover, video, bag of screwed up wrapping paper, scraps of cloth, few receipts, two mobile phone pockets.
    3. 25th August 2 catalogues, carrier bags, receipts, 3 water bottles, 4 books, assorted clothes, forgotten what else.
    4. 26th August 3 small bags of flour found to have insects in :(
    ... which is why the fridge now houses some other bags of flour till I can be sure they are safe.

    And on the MS front... where is my increment? It was due in February but a colleague rang HR and found it is paid in August (?!) so I've been waiting, and there it isn't.
    Not a huge percentage but I'm owed it and I want it back!
    On the plus side, my wage packet is looking healthier thanks to extra hours. All that extra work, though... was it worth it?

    One more night then days off - yay!

    Those insects in the flour are weevils. Unless the flour in the fridge was bought after the infected flour was thrown out, it's possible that the new flour will be infected. eek!
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    hi miggy i don't think putting the flour in your fridge will make much difference. i was always told to store my unopened bags in plastic bag so that if you happen to get one which is infected it doesn't contaminate all of them, i then keep the opened flour in a sealed jar after i've checked it for weevils. they're horrible aren't they!
