Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 29 May 2016

HAPPY NEW WEEK!

Last week's Chat thread is here.

I left a long reply on the end of last week's thread.

I've got a nasty deadline this week for my project, so you all won't hear from me for a few days. I hope everyone has a great week!

        Hi Lindy just wanted to ask was some time going to do a post on the community site about my day at the place where this little house is and show the videos of ducks ect l took and pictures, would you mind if l put in your peom to go with the house picture of course l would put you gave it to me and wrote it if you did ?  Also am l right in thinking OG means original  goldfinch?  first l thought old girl!!! what do say  Yas

  • Hi Yas - I just came back on....been busy.   Yes, OG is our short version of Original Goldfinch (long story, but someone else once tried to call themselves Goldfinch when ours already had the name...)  She doesn't mind if we shorten it, as we also do for Aquilareen, who is now known as AQ around these parts.

    I don't mind at all what you do with the poem - although others might wonder who the people mentioned, are, if they don't know them.  I often put little ditties on here, and there are also some Osprey poems on the Community threads - if you search using "poetry" you may find the Poetry thread on there, but I hav'nt posted anything there for ages now.

    EDIT;   See below:

    A COUNTRY RESIDENCE

    O, how I love my Hobbit House:
    I share it with both cat and mouse -
    Two hamsters drive the fast electric wheel
    Though one OG could cope, I feel!

    I like to live here, very dearly _
    I'd never ever leave it, nearly.
    No grand and stately home for me
    No mansion, nor home in a tree.

    I sit here, proud and so aloof
    Waiting for Diane to come mow the roof....
    Watching pigs and ospreys fly overhead
    Before I make my feather bed.

    -----You could perhaps change it a little, if you like - my suggestions would be to put "mad spaniel" for the OG bit, and "A Man" for the Diane bit...

  • The reference to mad spaniel is because we have had a spaniel puppy since spring last year, and she is so full of beans, she is wearing us out!!  We love her dearly but have been trying to find ways to keep her under control (she also escapes regularly from the garden)

  • You can do either, Yas - I don't mind.  I'm not what they call "precious" about my scribbles  :-)

    Lovely day here now:  lots of loads of laundry on the line and off again!  Been weeding, too, as they seem to have appeared in our absence.

    There is a great logo today on the Google Headline Page:  its in honour of the lady who invented filming using cut out figures. Do go and have a look, everyone.

  • l wonder what it was on google lindy, thanks for your help with peom and l wouldn't call them scribbles people would pay good money for them. yas
