It is always lovely to hear about people reading and enjoying it, especially so long after it came out.

I am a first time visitor to your blog ...Hi Tania, <br />I am a first time visitor to your blog as I came across it just a few min.s ago while googling on your book. The pics on the blog are super and I am looking forward to reading the posts.<br />At the mo, this is a quick message to let you and Sarah know, how very much I enjoyed reading your book. Have been going through it in bits and pieces over the past few months and finished reading it last night. Very well written, very amusing, entertaining and insightful. Brought a smile to the face quite often and I have underlined countless lines in the various pages :)<br />I am also linking your blog to mine and look forward to reading your posts.<br />Best.D Narukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034109746085819659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-25418608324643237192011-02-09T00:47:13.431+00:002011-02-09T00:47:13.431+00:00Hero Gran headlined NZ's tv world news coverag...Hero Gran headlined NZ's tv world news coverage. I'm not sure what to make of that but, nevertheless, she is amazing. I am especially impressed she came running from some distance to intervene.<br /><br />Loved your list. <br /><br />Thought the canines looked beautiful but chilly today. I have no doubt they were much indulged indoors.Michelle Trusttumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884862204260428780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-55355447749150905902011-02-08T23:48:11.524+00:002011-02-08T23:48:11.524+00:00Lovely post and such sound advice to say 'the ...Lovely post and such sound advice to say 'the thing'.

So pleased you are smiling a bit though.<br /><br />Sarah - glad I am not the only one who loves the figs so.<br /><br />Claire - think you are spot on about mouth and trousers. Possibly he suddenly thought he could not say trousers on the BBC. And quite right too. :)<br /><br />Pat - the last syllable always sends shivers up my spine.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-51292215655584784702011-02-08T21:24:37.288+00:002011-02-08T21:24:37.288+00:00Are you sure it wasn't "words and youth&q...Are you sure it wasn't "words and youth" and he made a verbal "typo"?<br /><br />I too love that "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps on this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time"...<br /><br />Say the thing thing makes me think of that quote; "Don't sweat the small stuff...and it's ALL small stuff."<br /><br />Bouncing all over my head today.

Also applies I think to when you want to comfort someone who's had something appalling happen to them, and you're not sure what to say. If you say the thing, you might make them cry but at least you aren't ignoring what has happened. <br /><br />Is 'just words and mouth' perhaps a slightly more polite version of 'all mouth and trousers'?!Clairehttp://fletchasketch.posterous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-20628364356525105642011-02-08T18:30:51.206+00:002011-02-08T18:30:51.206+00:00genius truths you give us. loved the shakespeare ...genius truths you give us. loved the shakespeare fig quote. i will roll that one around in my head today.Sarah Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786625857815393305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-5734170788169300432011-02-08T17:16:48.815+00:002011-02-08T17:16:48.815+00:00Thank you.

I think those two points are pretty much it but then I have a lot to learn I think!<br /><br />I really like the idea of saying "words and mouth" now and the concept of life and figs as comparable items.
