Funny Old Winter

Welcome back Tet. I love your poem, seems you have been like a doormouse this winter!

Liked your blog Tet,hope you are feeling brighter,I think we all get the winter blues now and then,I know I do, can`t wait for the spring.

Welcome back Tet. I have only just returned too. I just seemed to lose interest a bit, plus a nasty virus to boot. Hopefully with warmer weather we shall soon be firing on all cylinders.

Good to see you back. Spring is certainly in the air and it helps us all, I think.
Look forward to more sparks!

Please don't appologise. We all need a break now and then.
Winter is for hibernating, like night is for sleeping :o) Nobody can keep going all the time. We wake up in the morning, and we wake up in the spring :o) It's a natural cycle.
Glad to see you back and feeling better !

welcome back Tet, missed you like mad, hope your feeling better now that spring is upon us, xx

Welcome back Tetrarch, great to see you back, yes I've missed all your funny antics on here too, glad you're feeling a bit better,mind you I'm off on friday, only for 2 weeks though, off on my hols :-)) xx

Hello Tetrarch ...

Good to know you're not depressed now spring is here :o)

Wow, I wondered what all those sparks were! So glad to see you back and to know that you are feeling better. Isn't it wonderful what a little bit of sunshine can do? Take care :)

Sorry to hear that you'd been blue,
But now look forward to all things new . . .

The buds and the birds will cheer things up,
And I'm off to welcome you back with a cup-

Hi Tetra, i know exactly how you have been feeling, im there on that planet to lol, been looking around the garden and cant wait for warm sunny days, hands full of dirt etc, your not alone, im glad iv had my painting to help but now im bored and need plants, grass cuttings and worms lol :o))) x

Nothing to forgive you for, Tet ... sometimes we just don't need or want to be on-line 'chatting' ... I always feel that post Christmas and New Year months are long and dreary ... now that Crocus and Daffodils are brightening up the garden it seems to make us smile and feel like getting back outdoors ... great to see you on here again ... :o)

makes me smile to see Tetrarch back!!!

:-)

Shucks! You really are a kindly lot..
I'll think of you while I sit in my plot,
with a daylily girl, and a snowdrop bloke,
ready and waiting to give me a poke,
Your friends are still here you kind gifts tell me,
Im sooo glad to be back in the arms of Goy's green tree!

Thank you everyone, I wont list the names in case I miss one, but particularly Hywel, such a warm welcome, thanks.
Cinders I hope you are returning to health after that nasty virus! And Simbad have a great break, see you soon.

Glad to see you back Tetra. I'm with you the weeks after Christmas always seem so dull, now were starting to see life in the garden, I feel like I'm waking up with them :)) Looking forward to seeing you around more.

I'm glad you are feeling better Tet it's good to have you back , I love the poem it explains that time between dormant and waking up feeling so well :o)

A little note I received from Born Again..very worthy opponent!

I bet you could too:-)) Genius poem Tet, you're right back on form. Those polypses?? must have been draining your creative juices...

I wonder if I have some? My muse has left me too.
Perhaps an operation would sort me out, like you
But hospitals are scary and the food is made of plastic
So I'll buy a book of rhyming words, an op is far too drastic!
How very dare you Tetrarch suggest I get a pension
A womans age is secret, it's so rude of you to mention.
So what if in my handbag there's a card (always to hand)?
That gives me leave to travel free throughout our pleasant land.
And as for little catnaps, if I know you dear recouper
with wine a-dribble down your chin, you're in a drunken stupor!

Tet...Now they're in the wrong order, you've not put your missive on to which mine was a reply. Dear reader if you can imagine.....she accused me ..splutter.... of being old!! My poem was in answer to Tets cattiness. Judge for yourselves, how would you like to find this in your pms?:-)

Quote:
Your epistle has inspired me to pick up pen and rhyme
Im not like Flori , talented, cant do it all the time
But your aspertions on my memory hah! Rosie I recalled
But I couldnt name just one, not t'other - you would have been appalled!
And as to little cat naps and things that come with age
Well you should know darn well how tis, for you're there too I gauge!
Yes polyps does sound ugly, and look it too, agreed
But Im rid of them in one fell swoop so I wont go to seed!
And as for being generous who else would send you verse?
And dont sit there mouthing off at me or I'll think of something worse!!

Well you left out the bit where you hinted my memory was going, I was sleeping half the day the my poor polyps were ugly and you almost said right out that I was mean with my kisses! Well with friends like you......
I was actually being generous by not printing the whole and magnanimus with my praise of your verse..but well, you cant help being like it BA and one doesnt ditch ones friends cos the have gone a bit doo lally so I will forgive you dear one, you're not sooo bad really LOL!

And I wont mention the drinking bit..I still have a pretty full cellar...went shopping last week....

Thanks for the entertainment, you talented duo! Brilliant. :))

Its not often you meet with someone who has the same wicked sense of humour...glad you enjoyed our banter Sheilabub.

Lol, this so funny and to think I nearly missed it, thanks ladies......

Good to hear you back on form. I was worried I had not seen or heard of you (my fault for not favouriting people) but here you are as chirpy as ever. Hope the garden has now sprung back in to life and keeping you very busy. We were down at my daughters and we went to Dyrham Park for a picnic. I meant to go back before we came home because I missed out on taking photos of the bank of primroses at the front of the house and the formal pots of deep blue hyacinths in the courtyard.

Just been reading the poetical exchanges between yourself and Bornagain......fascinating. Glad the op was a success and you are ready for the garden and GOY. Vive la sunshine....but 30 degrees was a bit over the top, in the shade on, our patio yesterday.

Im not a "heat" lover Dorjac, just love sunshine with a gentle breeze..we were close to 30 deg yesterday too..had to stop for drinkies every half hour! Water tho, not wine :-(
