BC, whilst not wanting to get into a conversation about gay men ..lol

I just wanted to see it happen !

Maggie

me too BC....

Tell us he isn't gay....

xx

A male hairdresser is not always a gay hairdresser BC. I know two perfectly straight ones.

personally I think there is more than meets the eye about John Davoren...and a woman who is about to buy herself a new wardrobe, and shoes! needs a man who can mend them AND converse coherently while he has a mouth full of tacks lol

*goes back and takes tacks out of John's mouth so he can speak coherently...jeeze! pmsl.....

Ow harsh! PMSL!

*remembers thinking the same thing and forgot to mention it*

but he already does BC lol and a man who can say
"the colour of the trees in Wicklow, just before they turn to red., a burnished sort of a colour....." is a man to be sought after! lol

No I meant it, people who do that CAN talk coherently lol it is a knack they develop...like seamstresses who hold the pins in their mouth and can still talk :)

Rose, an Irishman would...especially if he's spent most of his spare time reading Joyce. lol

and he wears glasses , but I bet when he takes them off he has warm, laughing eyes, that crinkle at the corners ...

tsk tsk you are such a bunch of romantics:-)

My hairdresser is Nigel.He's not Gay.he is married with 4 children and I have known him since he was 17!!!!!!!!!!.

Oh Jane, think you have the same hairdresser as my son used to have lol! He was exactly like that and he was married with 4 children too! Spooky.....lot of them about!

I am just ploughing through all the posts on this thread to get to know you all better. I am really excited about our writing group!

Photos. Where do we send them or do we send them around to each member? Don't get excited, girls, I haven't found one yet of me that wouldn't curdle your blood but soon the time will come.... what shall I do with it????

Treading on dreams. Who raised this? It is a quote from WB Yeats, my favourite poet, so I was interested.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

W.B. Yeats

Hi Helen, when you find a photo you e mail it to each of us. I assume you have not had our photos as yet either is that right? I can't remember if you joined after we sent them out.

Lovely verse that isn't it? And the last two lines are often quoted.

It' beautiful, Ann, isn't it. I 'did' Yeats for A level English decades ago and it really stuck with me.

5 or 6 years ago I was in Ireland with my family and we went to Yeats Tower in Galway - and I was really overcome with emotion! How silly! But having loved all his writing I found myself in tears at being at the place where he lived and wrote. Needless to say hubby and the kids were snorting with laughter, the soulless so-and-sos....

No. I haven't received a single photo so come on, ladies....PS where are the gents in this group????

By the way, I was naive when I thought I could comment on all your work on the same day, I am drowning in prose and poetry!! I have replied to 4 people, I think, and am on a mission to finish the rest. Don't you all sleep??? I wrote one piece then stopped....Just wait until next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that enough exclamation marks?

Photo sent Helen.

well I'm way out of step - have loads to read and some more to write - have been preoccupied with my sick neighbour

Don't worry about it Anne, you can't do everything at once.

Photo received, thank-you Ann in Glos. You look lovely! Looking forward to receiving all the other pics...
