Overheard in the garden

Mr Dancer is sitting at the table under the fig tree reading. Lisbeth is trimming the ivy circles (don't ask) next to the tree. I am just being me on the veranda. The clock has just struck 6pm when I hear Mr Dancer sneeze.

Lisbeth: "You've just done that word we learned yesterday."
Mr Dancer: "What word's that?"
Lisbeth: "The one in the book 'Madame Tout-Va-Bien'. You know - the verb 'eternuer' (accent on 2nd e): to sneeze. We had to look it up."
There's a pause while Lisbeth continues to snip.
Mr Dancer: "Oh yes."
Another pause.
Mr Dancer sneezes again.
Lisbeth: "Oh dear. Do you think you're sickening for something?"
Mr Dancer: "Yes. A gin and tonic."

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.

Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.

I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
