Goodnight Stef

[Hes]

No need, save electricity and just borrow my kids

Not sure about that Merry...haven't you got four? I think they'd run rings round me. Thanks for the offer though

Its a great place for cycling and running as it is in a valley and the hills around it are steep so you always get a great workout! I teach at a studio there each Monday (until mid-march).

Sounds like my kind of place. Hills in every direction! It feels quite odd now when I head down south without a hill on the horizon. Nowhere to run to!

Been trying to find some good poems about being alone as opposed to lonely which I think is a very different thing, but I can;t find any good ones. I think that is a bit disappointing...does anyone know any.

I like this though.

Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
A luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Only three, but seems like more

Now there is a challenge. They are very different things aren't they, and it isn't always necessarily a bad thing, being alone at times. Plus, you can be lonely in a crowd. I'll have a look.

Robert Frost is as good as ever

Who need the whole truth! As long as it is poetic!

Thank god for that! There wasn't much sun and i was fully dead

My point exactly. Once did a printmaking class with 15 under tens and it was like tipping out a box of mice in the room and they were all armed with inky rollers whilst I stood bemused in the middle. (it did go well and I actually loved it once I got the hang of how to crowd manage)
