The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

It’s Saturday morning here! Our last day inb Japan. Yesterday we went down to Himeji to tour Himeji Castle, which is a really spectacular example of a Japanese hill castle. It was gorgeous. Talon took lots of pics so we will get some up soon.

Thursday we went to an immense temple compound here in Kyoto. Today is mostly for shopping.

I’m going to get home and realize it’s almost nano, aren’t I?

- Jen

Was it you who were looking for information about scooters the other day? I talked to my brother today, and he said that the scooter my nephew has is a Honda ‘Metropolitan’.

Teehee, not scooters. Motorcycles. Of the sex on two wheels variety.

So glad you're having a great time!

Even our little community newspaper had an article about NaNoWriMo today!

*snort*. It’s a very good thing that I’m not prone to cursing or obscene hand gestures, or I’d be a VEY bad example to my kids when I’m driving them anywhere.

It’s picked up a lot of steam in the past five years or so!

I’m doing more planning and organizing tonight. About a week ago I decided to start putting some names on index cards, to make it easier to find one when I need one — i.e. make a card with men’s names beginning with “b”, in no particular order. I ended up going way overboard with that project, and I’m continuing it tonight by making cards with lists of synonyms for words I use a lot: colors, for example.

I also have some cards with little character sketches for background characters, like the sort of people my more important characters might see on the street or at the grocery store.

Will I use any of this? I dunno. But at least it helps pass the time until November 1st!

Hello from OK!

~waves to Talon and Jen in Japan :~)

We’re all down at Becky and Mack’s building in town, 2J is here... We played a little pool and ping pong, had some burgers, sat around tellin’ stories, got my hair cut... you know...

Wanted to tell my hubbit that I have not called because I forgot my cell phone on the charger at home! Hope all is well there tonight! Check in with me here!

Hiya, hon! Everything’s fine here, all the animals are fed and put to bed, I’m about to fix myself a pot pie and a bourbon, put a movie in and hit the couch. I’ll talk to you in the morning then!

~smooch~

Sounds like a good afternoon and evening!

I was just looking at the pictures over in the saddle thread. The video was interesting...I’d never actually seen what that gaited bidness looked like before!

Talk to me in the morning? Cutting me off so soon?

Have a good night there... What do you have planned for the weekend?

Tomorrow, clean stalls. I also need to run to town for a couple of errands - grocery shopping and such. Other than that, just putter around here, there’s a couple of little project that I have in mind. Probably take a nap too... it’s been a long week.

Yeah - the gaited horses are a lot different huh! And it looks like their feet are moving really fast, but it’s much smoother than a trotting horse. :~)

Since you have this Betta now, do you want my fish tank?

Well, hopefully it will be a short weekend and then I’ll see you Monday! I guess we won’t be so nervous this time, meeting me at the airport.
