Dandelion and Dave both have considerably more knowledge of Latin than I do.<BR/><BR/>Dandelion was also giving a nice literary nudge to Hamlet -'Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio'.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-87509112111159973322008-10-26T21:47:00.000+00:002008-10-26T21:47:00.000+00:00Is this "Latin" person someone famous?

I'm not at my best first thing on a winter morning and wouldn't be bothered about darkness then.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're not feeling too good, Dave. At least it's raining so you have every excuse to take it easy on your new sofa. Hope you feel better soon.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-81800005423980113952008-10-26T06:41:00.000+00:002008-10-26T06:41:00.000+00:00I quite like the dark evenings, reminds me of the ...I quite like the dark evenings, reminds me of the tide of the seasons, and winter draws on etc.<BR/><BR/>I got up at the usual time this morning, mainly because I was in too much discomfort to have a lie-in.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-27079473727401826652008-10-25T23:36:00.000+01:002008-10-25T23:36:00.000+01:00Mirrors crack whenever they see me, darling.Mirrors crack whenever they see me, darling.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-4036934560533053912008-10-25T22:44:00.000+01:002008-10-25T22:44:00.000+01:00Ah yes, Latin, I knew him well.And I suppose all t...Ah yes, Latin, I knew him well.<BR/><BR/>And I suppose all this would make you the Lady of Shallot..?Dandelionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302932867084357713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-72980824403922222622008-10-25T21:46:00.000+01:002008-10-25T21:46:00.000+01:00the zed in the title is an extra consonant, you kn...the zed in the title is an extra consonant, you know, horatshi-zed not horatsh-ized.
