The ants must have been looking for something at the top of the tree. I think there is some similarity with the Compasses venture in the concept. The photograph was not taken outside The Compasses (The pub not the poems), but I believe outside a restaurant in LondonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-67534512175826897612008-10-17T13:58:00.000+01:002008-10-17T13:58:00.000+01:00Oh this is such a treat!

A new look, wonderful ant banner, a photo of you, an updated profile... all marvellous! are you sitting outside the Compasses in that photo?<BR/><BR/>Glad you discovered Postal Poetry, what about submitting something?

Somehow makes me think of your wonderful long poem Compasses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-45240490906221100212008-10-16T17:22:00.000+01:002008-10-16T17:22:00.000+01:00Visitors using our second bedroom are equipped wit...Visitors using our second bedroom are equipped with reading lights that work like this. When you touch the lamp body there's a sensation in your finger-tip which can only be described as a frisson. Our first experience of such lights was in rural New Zealand, so I'm sure they're available in Canada M-L.<BR/><BR/>However, this is not the only technological advance that deserves celebration on Plutarch's blog. I see that the blog title is now integrated with a picture. Congratulations. The difficulty I found was finding a typeface and a colour that stood out against a background. Slightly more difficult in my case since the background consists of a montage of several pictures.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-13718389991903441622008-10-16T17:07:00.000+01:002008-10-16T17:07:00.000+01:00I'm glad you've been inspired by my mention to sho...I'm glad you've been inspired by my mention to show us your poetry postcard. You should have submitted it! Do another one for them? <BR/><BR/>That lamp sounds fabulous, I wonder if they are available here. Does it use one of the energy saving mini-flourescent bulbs? Our incandescent tri-lite bulbs don't stay tri for long, that is they don't work well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
