Calling All Bloggers! I started my blog in September 2006, inspired by my sisters’ blog, Caged Minutes . Since then I have been greedily soaking up as much blogging protocol as possible and am now attempting my first tag list. I should probably consult with Macs Niece at Caged Minutes first as it has to be said she is much more of an authority on the subject and has provided advice on several issues that has saved me much time, effort and confusion, but I am feeling brave and so will push on. Yesterday I stumbled across the ‘Top Bloggers Books’ list – Books You Cannot Live Without, being compiled by Kailana , via my regular source of book reviews, Coversgirl , at Between the Covers . The idea is for each participant to produce a list of 10 books they have read and cannot live without which will be integrated into a definitive list, by Kailana at Kailana's Written World , after 15th April 2007. I have compiled my list which I posted yesterday however I am keen to do my bit to get

‘ Weekly Six 19 th – 25 th March 2007’ . Well here we are again! In light of my recent posting regarding a ‘Top 10 of Books’ I am replacing this weeks book item with a Hollywood hero. I have always been a big fan of the movies and would like to share a few of my favourite stars with you via the ‘Weekly six’. In addition I am changing this weeks’ song item with an album item, and will also be providing a small explanation of my choices from here on in. A Lyric: Lend me your ear while I call you a fool. – Jethro Tull – Witches Promise As you may be noticing I am a big Tull fan. I am also going to see them in a week, for the third time, which has brought their songs to the forefront of my mind. Tull embody English Folk/ Paganism for me and I would like to share their unique musical and lyrical talents with you all, there is something for everyone! An Album: Jethro Tull – Broadsword and the Beast On my top list of albums; I cannot say it is a top 10 album as there are just too many com
A Word From Our Sponsor I find myself void of verse at present and do not wish to post poems forced and therefore flawed so, I have turned to a heroin of mine, unfortunately not my sponsor, for a sample of her unique prose. On Comparing My Husband to Robbie Burns - Pam Ayres Oh oft I think of Robbie Burns Striding though the heather, All manly clad in tartan plaid To spurn the Highland weather, O'er loch and glen, that man of men, His black eyes all a flashing Could any heart not leap, and start, Or fail to find him dashing? Oh oft I think of Robbie Burns, His dirk thrust in his gaiters, And then I think of you dear, And go home and peel the taters Pam Ayres - The Works 1972 - 1992
In The Pink - Top 10 Books Well it’s early on a Saturday and I have already visited Brisbane and California; which has resulted in this post! Kailana is collating a list of books that bloggers cannot live without, inspired by a list of top 100 books that The Guardian newspaper (UK) recently produced to commemorate World Book Day on 1st March 2007. 2000 people took part in The Guardians’ survey and the resultant list is……well frankly for the most baffling to me! I am therefore participating by posting a list of 10 books that I have read and cannot live without. If you wish to add your own list of favourite books follow this link for further instructions. The definitive bloggers list will be posted by Kailana after 15th April. 1. The Lord of The Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien Undoubtedly my favourite book of all time; I visit Middle Earth frequently. I would not presume to review this book but would strongly recommend it to anyone who has not read it yet. (Is there actually anyone who has
‘Weekly Six’ 12th - 18th March 2007. Should you find yourself becoming concerned with some of my film and music tastes I would like to reassure you that it does get better! I am somewhat restricted by the availability of effective links that enable me to provide you with a direct sample of the item, with minimal effort on your part; an issue I hope soon to resolve. In the meantime, you really cannot beat either of this weeks song and film choice for quality entertainment! Enjoy! A Lyric: All the places I've been make it hard to begin to enjoy life again on the inside, but I mean to. Jethro Tull - Inside A Song: Boney M - Rasputin A Film: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - Stanley Donen A Book: The Adventures of Goodnight and Loving – Leslie Thomas A Location: Casis - France A Headline: Famed Wild Parrots of San Francisco Get City's Protection (Video)
Greetings. I would like to introduce a new blog feature for 'In The Pink' that allows me to comment, via a weekly posting, on; lyrics, songs, films, books, locations and headlines, all significant to me in some way, that I wish to share. The idea appealed to me having seen several similar posting preferences on other blogs, and I have enjoyed following their trail. I look forward to airing my artistic preferences and sincerely hope that you enjoy exploring them. Weekly Six: 5th – 11th March 2007 A Lyric: Forget the night. Live with us in forests of azure. Out here on the perimeter there are no stars, out here we is stoned – immaculate. The Doors - The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) A Song: Girls Girls Girls - Sailor A Film: The Quiet Man - Staring John Wayne (John Ford) A Book: The Way of Wyrd - Brian Bates A Location: Didima Craters - Greece A Headline: " King Mohammed VI pardoned nearly 9,000 prisoners to celebrate the birth of his baby girl, the Justice Ministry
I broke from sleep to a morn still shrouded deeply in the mist and ventured from my shelter in search of sun Through the gorge I made my way by riverside and iron bridge and sort out path rising steeply, buzzard gliding; rabbits run The vegetation steamed before me as I crossed the river broad swirling beneath me thick and black A forest in reflection rose as my gaze ascended and bade me welcome as the dawns bird song answered back Concealed in canopy I moved by a shared trail print of claw and hoof proceeded my tracks The saturated woodland thick around me giving glimpse; a flash of a world sunkist, beyond my current aspect With racing pulse I greedily pursued the summit veiled but immanent in arrival, the earths breath revealing the firmament, virginal, purged of all impurity this vision now born to me, no longer concealing: a mornings exploration
