'In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers.'
Ryvitas are lovely packs of Rye-fused crispbread slices that come in five types.. all of which taste rather nutty in texture (but not like peanuts) and all of which are good for your health and without gluten, and with little fat... I can eat it no longer due to my intestines' not being able to process Rye, but it used to be my sustenance!
Marmite, however, tastes like bacon melted down to liquid form! Yack!
Ryvita does sound good! Maybe I'll have to pass on the Marmite!
You said you were going to Armenia?
corn on the cob!
(I live right in the middle of the 'corn belt' - it' so good cooked fresh with butter & salt - YUM!)
George Eliot, right?
Sounds like a travel digression coming up? I'd love to hear about your trip. I wish I could come with!
George Eliot, yes! Though my favourite novel of hers by far is Middlemarch; I find it glorious!
There will be one; due to my not having a permanent job, I'll be on A2K a lot more.. basically:
1) I'm going off helping with a trip to Santander for a week (July 3rd to 8th)
2) Then, I'm going from Santander to Paris or maybe somewhere else in France, and staying there until the 10th....
3) Then I'll stay with a Catalan relative of mine from the 10th until the 15th--
And from the 15th onwards, who knows where I'll go? It will end up in going to Armenia, hopefully.
You could visit; or we could have a Worldwide A2K gettogether in Armenia, I suppose!
Sounds marvelous! I love to travel, but don't get to do it much.
Shall we go from Middlemarch?
...April
'Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote.'
I love to travel above everything; unfortunately, up until the age of 18, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere abroad, but this just got me wanting to travel even more... which I now do!
April showers
bring May flowers
May flowers
bring June brides.
(a poem I learned as a little one)
My nephew, a twin and a Gemini, is marrying Louise, a twin and a Gemini, in June (the Gemini end of the month)
What a coincidence! (Or is it?) I hope that the two Geminis don't clash; how long have they known each other?
'Fixed stars govern a life.'
They met when they were two and remet when 28.
Dis-aster = having badly placed stars
Stradivarious
