Most of them...(a) You can do lots of things, Tania. Most of them involving a sublime control of the English language and your camera. More importantly, you do them. And the rest of us have happier days as a result.<br /><br />(b) There are lots of things that I have no interest in but could do if I wanted to. But I don't. One, like you, is The Car. Another is How the Computer Works (as opposed to How to Use It, which I'm rather good at). Another is Gardening. I love having a tidy garden with pretty things in it, but am abysmal at actually DOING it. So Andy-the-garden comes (he was here this morning, pruning a bush that had gone mad, and the robin sat three feet away and GLARED at him.<br /><br />(c) My best friend's husband calls me many things, depending on his mood. One of them (an inspired nickname based on where I now live) is The Norfolk Broad; another is that he says I'm a GALMI. It stands for Get A Little Man In. I'm rather proud of that as a moniker.<br /><br />PS My husband is usually known as The Rev. It's less his title and more a term of affection.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531093715654362821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-75829965536419067862011-01-21T01:57:14.819+00:002011-01-21T01:57:14.819+00:00Whoops, that would be: Man with a Hat.Whoops, that would be: Man with a Hat.Michelle Trusttumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884862204260428780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-1494764560583265722011-01-21T01:30:54.260+00:002011-01-21T01:30:54.260+00:00Thanks as usual for an interesting start to my day...Thanks as usual for an interesting start to my day - the dog has vomited all over - and after cleaning that up it was really nice to get to your post! I like the photographs (as usual) especially the dry stone wall. So difficult to find people to do that kind of wall now. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend.Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-87352179885855802202011-01-21T00:57:45.652+00:002011-01-21T00:57:45.652+00:00Everyone needs a Man in the Hat and I'm so ple...Everyone needs a Man in the Hat and I'm so pleased he was available to get those wipers sorted before your southern adventure. It sounds fun.<br /><br />I have to say, I'm falling in love with the countryside around your house. I'm especially smitten with the stone bridge and sentinel-like stand of large trees.

I'm in awe of them both, and they are both great company and fun to drink red wine with.<br />I'm very grateful for them, because I have a house to renovate this year.<br /><br />Have a lovely long weekend!Imogenehttp://hypotemuse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-34767970035679297842011-01-20T16:54:56.425+00:002011-01-20T16:54:56.425+00:00My Father used to make names for people just like ...My Father used to make names for people just like yours - now the Englishman does the same. I hope this doesn't mean I married my Father (as it were). <br /><br />We call a quite famous musical man The Prat in a Hat, but I think we got that from Radio One. The joy of having once had teenagers. I limit myself to things like Doctor Dishy (aren't most male doctors really handsome these days, or is it just my age?)<br /><br />I digress. <br /><br />No, it will not matter that that the mountain goes un-photographed; I'm sure it'll hold off any seasonal changes until your return.<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.com
