Sing a song of paper
Sheep are all around
Watching by the hillside
Standing on the ground
Knowing they are useful
Pooing here and there
Knowing that their poo will
be transformed, somewhere
Turn it into paper
Make it look real nice
Buy some now or later
at a decent price

Happiness is..............
Lisbeth thinks that happiness is hearing Big Ben (courtesy of an Internet radio), the clock of the village church (a mere fifty yards from the front door) together with her tatty old French grandfather clock, all chime the hour at the same time.
Big Ben is deep and oh so reassuringly English. The church clock is a little higher in tone but still has a sense of stability, French history and of time passing. The grandfather clock came from an old farmhouse in the country about twenty minutes from here. It has a crisp, higher, pretty quality and, like the church clock, chimes twice every hour. Anyway, Lisbeth says the chiming of the hours gives her a lot of pleasure.

A 2008 Hello
I'm still here, despite my silence.
I cannot believe it's so long since I put hoof to computer.
I don't know what to say, really. Part of me isn't sure if I want to continue with the blog. Another part thinks I could continue but write occasionally like my friend 'Occasional Stirrings'. If I did that, then my posts would probably a little more considered and better formed. I don't know, really.
Lisbeth isn't giving me much talking practice at the moment. She was ill over the holiday period and is still a bit down, having achieved very little on her 'To do before I go back to the UK' list. I'm keeping a low profile. She's also contemplating what to do with her life! Oh dear........this will almost certainly involve big stuff. That means that some serious changes are afoot, when she gets her energy back. And she'll be making a 'Things I want to do with my life' list or a 'How do I want to be living?' list. Ooo Err! I'm tired out and she hasn't started, yet.
As I've made the effort to write, I might be inspired to see if I can find any photos from Xmas Don't hold your breath, though, you know what her photos are like.
