small happenings

Hi. Tis miri. Made some apple-splits with brooke darling. They’re okay. Making them was fun thoe. T’would have been better with some Earl Grey. Hmm. I’m reading a book. It is about philosophy. I like it so far, but I haven’t read the whole thing. Cerdic says that if you like a book even halfway thrue, it is as good a whole book even if it had a horrid ending. I don’t know if that is true. Sometimes I read a book and it has a horrid ending, but I just pretend the rest from where it was still good to my own ending. Is it still a good book on whole in all spectre? Perhaps for books. But just books. Life isn’t that way. Em says that because life is temporal, the future is not the only good, the past is not the only good, but the good can only be found in the present. I think she is right. She is always right. Felith says that Em once tolled her that she won’t say anything unless she is sure it is right. It is not, then, odd that Em doesn’t say much. Dear Em. I guess I should try the same thing. I wonder if I could do it thoe. Could you?

Familial Mannerisms

Our Ithabel has made quite a point at that. I am afraid that indeed a lot of the phrases used here are different than the ones I know of when I was in the old Blue. But one thing strikes me as I have been rereading many of our younger folks’ comments, and that is that when you live so closely together with ones own cousins and family and friends, it is remarkable how many mannerisms are utilized in speech that are not only common, but also telling of mood. Forgive my box, but I thought it would be profitable to observe this at least once in public. Top of the eve as always
Be a blessing on your side of heaven...

lingo sticup; positively unstuteable

Right, so i gather you’re not all that in it, eh?
Well i have decided to start making lists of words that don’t exactly cross-over to my fellow brits and you peoples in America
Ausies too come to think,
and Kiwi’s gosh and umm...
South Africa, Canada, that would be a lot of islands too I think,

ANYHOU
here we jabber like nothing’s breakfast so I looked up the web and found that diction in you alls’ countries is lacking in spiff. So off we go for a short one, eh?

int=in the, you know, it isn’t that hard to guess gosh
well at least for the States, of-yester would mean yesterDAY, but you knew that
oh, and woode is spelled woode and we’ll have no more about it.
atol is basically just at all
lundin is more of an expression like bloody or blasted
blamy is too, in essence it is very close to balmy but not, you see
thoe is though (which looks all to much like augh!)


and a whole bunch of stuff slips in from the native tongue they speak here besides English,
but i sure as cats won’t give you a whole language course on my hat.
hmph.

Quiet is like a gigantorenormous sheet of paper! I simply adooore it. Tath is marvelous at that too, you know. We flat your hat on a paper like that. You know it my foot knows it and your square knows it better!

coffeeeeee

Coffee is good.
Cream is good.
Sugar is good.
logic of belle says that coffee+cream+sugar is therfore good.
hmph!

Moonrise this Morning

We saw a moonrise this morning! We'll, ok, the sun rose too. In fact, we all went out to the veranda to watch them come up. It was fantastic, at least the part that we could see. The clouds were out again (and it is very grey here now). Oh well. If you want pictures, you can find out for yourself when the next eclipse will be and watch it live! Very invigourating I assure you.
Ta!

(miri says hi btw. she gets down like this in the sommer, which I don't think she likes at all)

a book, thing, that I read

So I read this book about how to think, and it was pretty funny watching him go around in circles trying ever so hard to climb higher while still dragging the reader’s feet thrue it all. I guess you can sympathize with the guy considering the audience. Oh well. If only he had seen just how little off the ground his birds of thought had gone.
Oh yes. I knew that
To make a point, and in case you were wondering, I wouldn’t recommend “How to Read a Book” unless you are like a 3e. or something. It is probably a good listen when translated thoe... better yet a 1e for good measure. hmmm.
k sry for rambling i had some time

oft-noon tea

A good tea is a sonata of silence when the storm clouds crumble.

A good tea is the dancing of the wind upon the tips of the grass.

A good tea is the mist of a woode after rain.

A good tea is a warm sunbeam in the first rising hour.

A good tea is the chorus of fairies catching moontears on the water.

Not my hat, but Bigalow is NOT good tea.

ta!

An Introduction

Hallo. This is a place I set up so that I and a few others could share about our life here at the manor. Aside from I guess comments and journalings from the fam, I hope to tell you all a little about what goes on in my life. About thirty of us live here. The five families make of some twenty cousins, and twelve aunts and uncles. I am one of the fortunate individuals to have been unofficially adopted into the fam, though I am technically still employed here. I must warn you, we are not at all normal. We do not attempt to be quaint, or stereotypical in our habits, but a lot of what we do is viewed as rather storybook or silly by other brits. I guess that we are. But being so close as a fam, and not having much to do with the cities or vills here in England, we live quite content to be queer. Also, the family is not European, but islander in decent, only three generations or so. A lot of what goes on here has a part in their heritage. I love the language they brought back with them. I am glad it hasn’t gone away. But some of the younger ones which I take care of haven’t learnt English yet, and it makes me wonder. Even I don’t have as much English as I’d like to. Anyways, my dear fam and friends will be posting here too, and I must go. Aeamathor
