Pun: Prizes... High tea? I had a sudden craving on the weekend.. But that's really more of a prize for me hey :)
Ronni: Yeah concert was good, it was acoustic and they mainly played new songs to promote their new album but the songs were pretty good and they did do 'My Happiness' which was good :) Would like to see them properly in concert now.

Simon posted a fun meme over at Stuck-in-a-book the other day- he assigns a random letter and you have to pick some of your favourites that start with that letter. And my letter is N! Let's do this. Favourite book... number9dream - David Mitchell Image from Google Books This book made me really fall in love with the writing of David Mitchell- and still my favourite. Although Cloud Atlas is also amazing! And I can't believe it but it took me a while to think of it... Favourite author... E. Nesbit Image from Wikipedia I grew up with Five Children and It , The Phoenix and the Carpet and so on, but most of all with The Railway Children. My siblings and I read the book, and watched the movie, multiple times. E. Nesbit will always have a special place in my heart! Favourite song... No Light, No Light - Florence and the Machine Because I love Florence and the Machine! Though I have to say it was a toss up between this and No Aphrodi...
Skimming through the internet the other day I came across a reference to a line of startling familiarity, a line that made me realise some first lines stick in your head forever: "Sing Goddess, the rage of Peleus' son Achilles" (funnily enough, I can never remember the first line proper until I see it, as my friend and I spent much of year 12 Ancient History misquoting it as "rage Achilles, rage on Agamemnon". We were also amused by the fact that 'Xerxes' backwards spelt 'Sexrex'. Yeah, mature I know.) From Homer, The Illiad Ironically, a first line that I find impossible to remember is one of the most recognisable for me. I'm not usually very good at first lines, but there are a few I'd know anywhere... "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote" My English classes at university drummed this one into me- the first line of Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. I think Chaucer is a genius, but this first line is not quite ...

I'm up for it, when when?
ReplyDeleteI see you! You are the only one looking directly at the camera, so you are the easiest to find.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you free for high tea? Any other correct guessers are welcome to join, but I'm not going to pay for you all... :)
