I think it starts off looking like that ribbon stuff. Not good eating to my mind. You're right: Archie and Tim have better sense.<br /><br />The wife has only looked at these once. To say she isn't taken would be an understatement.

A sort of a slimy javelin-volleying. The out of sight out of mind principle. Fling it as far as possible, then flee in the other direction.<br /><br />Now that might be fun.<br /><br />When we stayed in the same place<br />With Archie and Tina<br />At the seaside,<br />We used<br /><br />To paddle the samphire beds, fish<br />Crabs from the sea-pool, poke<br />The anemones, run,<br />Trailing the ribbon seaweed across the sea's edge<br />To throw it as far as we could.<br /><br />Stevie Smith, from "Archie and Tina"TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379098365260485853.post-37596713984603312902013-06-19T19:51:52.738+01:002013-06-19T19:51:52.738+01:00The Atlantic gave a great gift there.The Atlantic gave a great gift there.Mose23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379098365260485853.post-81284713681130494242013-06-19T19:28:37.935+01:002013-06-19T19:28:37.935+01:00love the stones!love the stones!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
