My first May Day on Facebook
·
Got up at 3.45, got Thunderthighs
up, got coffee/ginger-nuts/juice and then got out to the Town Moor to dance at
dawn.
Lovely red sunrise, real "Rosy fingered dawn has thrown the stone
that puts the night to flight" (the Obayat of Omar Kayaam for the
non-cognoscenti)
I’m not as erudite as I think I am.
"Rosy-fingered Dawn" is an epithet from Homer's Odyssey not the
Rubaiyat of Omar Kayaam.
Miss
Fiddle I
wouldn't know - I'm even less erudite!

I googled
Ms
Exlibris I
don't even know what erudite means
Bentonbag And you a
trained librarian.
Ms
Exlibris I
only put the books on the shelf I don't read them!
Bentonbag
Do you get
stamper's wrist like Phil did?
Ms
Exlibris Not
any more, computers put paid to that but certainly used to.
Do you think there is a condition called Librarians Wrist?
Bentonbag
If there's
Housemaid's Knee, Tennis Elbow and Jogger's Nipple there certainly should be.

I have
been wearing a dress today in honour of May Day, but am now going to change
into trousers and do some gardening before it rains.

Have just
had a shouting match with Fester.
Me
downstairs trying to ascertain whether Felix is in or out.
Him upstairs thinking I was referring to Ferretfingers
(homophonic ?).
Culminating in him bellowing
"What's he doing out?"
and me screaming
"He's a bloody cat!”
