  1. It's absolutely beautiful! It's very small but has an embossed front cover, ribbon marker and contains a great many poems (hundreds tbh) split into different sections all to do with the sea. The poets are well known and very well established. The paper of the book is high quality and it's such a luxurious and beautiful thing! I'm going to enjoy this!

  4. they had any wotsits, dodads or you-know-wot-I-means. They didn't, so I carefully navigated to the back of the shop to see if I could escape through the back door, I ....................
  5. I have started The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton
  6. I take delivery of it tomorrow so I'll let you know.
  7. I have just bought Poems of the Sea (Macmillan Collector's Library, 301) by Gaby Morgan (Editor). I bought the hardcover. From Amazon: Poems of the Sea is an anthology of classic poetry that celebrates the sea; from the power of a stormy ocean to ships and sailors and beaches strewn with shells. There seems to be a wealth of sea related poetry to read online too. Yippee!
  8. for the correct time of day. I took my chance as they were talking and struggled free to continue my escape, and then ........
  9. I don't have answers for questions 1 and 2, unfortunately. As to question 3, yes, I do think it's a fascinating play and cannot be performed/studied/written about too much. And it is meant as entertainment not historical fact. As to question 2, I always get confused by Hamlet's age, I always think that he must be about 17 but, as you say, he's actually 30 so my problem is : why is he going to school? Perhaps this will make things clearer : Hamlet's Age - A Puzzle
  10. I have now read The Rime of the Ancient Marriner. It was marvellous and I'll be reading it again.

  12. soaked to the skin by drivers who thought that it was really funny to drive through the puddles and create arcs of water that hit me with force. Just as well I had me thigh waders on or I'd have drowned. Clearly, since they were all enjoying themselves too much to stop, I decided to ………
  13. that if I didn't come up with the twenty nicker (whatever that is!) PDQ (is that something one puts in a text message?) he would have to come over and give me a full scale mollicating - and I knew full well what that was. Since he was clearly upset and very threatening, and I certainly didn't want a mollicating, full scale or otherwise, I decided to .............
  14. I'm still reading The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep so won't get to the Coleridge for a while. ETA I've just bought The Devil and the Dark Water, I had no idea there was another book by Stuart Turton!
  15. Just bought The Rime of the Ancient Marriner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as my poem for the sea. It's 66 pages long so I'll take my time and I'm sure that there will be others.
  16. “Not in the slightest” I replied “clearly I've been misinformed, my apologies for any offence caused. Now, as to the jars, that would be the most economically priced that you have, please” Mr Slimline looked confused, perplexed and puzzled. Stroking his stubbled chin (I could hear the scraping sound that made clearly) as he looked at me he ………….
