Get the Bones out of the Flesh!
My darling daughter was told of the engagement yesterday morning (the first to know!).
She has been a wonderful bag of excitement ever since and on top form. As some might notice I think she has great potential as a creative person and (who knows) maybe even poetry. Her first effort was very impressive to me, even though I am her Dad others have said as much.
Well when we went to our favourite restaurant last night
she was very eager that they know about the engagement (they are after all a family restaurant and we eat there regularly so they all know us). We had finished the meal and still it had not revealed what we were celebrating. In her eagerness for us to say it and be done she used a sudden and impulsive turn of phrase;
"GO ON NOW, GET THE BONES OUT OF THE FLESH!"
And we were all very impressed by her `turn of phrase` - she immediately followed up our astonishment by telling us that we were never to use the phrase without attribution that they were her words - she was very specific about that as only a nine year old daughter can be - I'm even prouder of her for asserting "copyright" to her utterance than I am by the almost Donne like turn of phrase!
PS I scroogled to check the originality, and this was all I turned up pertinent so far as I could see!
PPS Happy birthday today to;

It is not too often the personal intrudes on this blog (I hope!) But today I would like to indulge myself a little. Anyone who has been here before will perhaps notice that there are a couple of new categories creeping in here.
One is cycling - and the tandem features (Now enhanced with lights and super bell and ready to roll!).
The other is marriage - and this is because I am now engaged to be wed, I have plighted my troth! It will be a long engagement, but if any matters come up which I think I can talk about here (or even if I read anything which seems connected) then I may post to this category.
On which subject my fiancee thinks this blog would reach a much wider audience and I can see what she means (though am uncertain I really want the world and it's brother to be reading this - my hosting could not cope for a start!). BUT I have decided to see if I can register the domain "eclectic.me" as a possible alternative.
UNLESS anyone has any better ideas for the name of this blog? AND YES; I do realise the heading banner and design would be due for a complete overhaul as a result, then again I am quite keen to improve the site's accessibility and so should not mind this.
A post should be forthcomng to review the book "Chicago" soon and not sure what will follow from that, perhaps a thrilling account of the first tandem tour involving panniers and distance!
