Good to see you all here in Happy room. I love that Firebird, Rod Dough. What is this bird name? They are so beautiful.
Mary, Congratulation with a new sink.
Good to see you here, Lord Byron. I love your pictures, wish I could be there, although it is good here too. Two little fellows look like a lot of fun.
I am happy because every body is happy. Things are not bad, the weather is good and life is wonderful. The way Lord Byron puts it: absolutely fab.

 Ooops - thought I was in the Picture Association thread and those concentric rings on the peacock reminded me of this picture. Oh well, I'll leave it here as Kandinsky makes me smile. My class of 6 year olds last year painted patterns "in the style of Kandinsky" which made us all very happy. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

 I thought Kandinky painted like that, I didn't know that other picture MabelJane posted. One friend of mine called it doodle. He said he also liked to doodle. By the way I will have to arranged the Valse for four instruments (horn, flute, bassoon and piano). It is possible that the Valse will have to be transposed because they like flats not sharp (especially horn), but I am not sure. The peacock is beautiful. He belongs to the Happy room. I think they are more beautiful in real life. I have not seen them in ages. You don't meet one on the street now days walking about. |

I was absent from the forum from Monday night till this afternoon, my wife and I had a pleasant couple of days 'away from it all', something we do couple of times a year - our 'children' are both just over 20 so old enough to fend forthemselves for short periods Anyway this little break was a couple days/nights staying in a very remote farmhouse east of Lincoln. What blissful peace there is there. We were out for a country walk on Wednesday morning and our only companions were some very large hares who were bounding about like kangaroos! It was so quiet that we noticed at one point the only sound was a slight whistling in our ears that we both suffer from (and normally only occasionally notice when we are trying to drift off to sleep). The utter silence of the place was quite astonishing. (Where we live our back garden is never silent bacause we are half a mile from the A46 and just a mile from a motorway, so years ago I installed a babbling stream that circulates in our little pond). East Lincolnshire is also astonishing for the dark nights and the stars, must be a great place for astonomers to live. I'm HAPPY to have had our couple of days away, and also HAPPY to be back home, the kids are OK, and the pond pump still works John W |

I am glad you are back, John W. The place you went to sounds so attractive to me. I also has the buzzing sound in my ears. I can not say I like it. I like the hares jumping about like Kangaroos.  Hares are such an adoptable creatures. It is always good to go back and find out that everything is OK. And we here behaved well, I think. We had no problems. |

Lots of hares round my son's house in Norfolk, too, and stars. East Lincolnshire more or less qualifies as East Anglia, I should think.
About 30 years ago (help!) we lived near a very large Victorian house that had peacocks in the garden. They were very noisy.

Mary,
Perhaps you could help settle a long running dispute in my family.....
Can peacocks fly?

I never saw them fly, but I think they can, in a heavy, hen-like way. The tails would cause problems, I should think.

I don't know I'm afraid, as I am not there.
As a pub is involved, I suspect the answer is "Yes"

To follow on from the hare, how about an Andean Rabbit? Snapped at Machu Picchu on the same morning as the earlier pic.  The two major differences are the shorter ears but longer tail......  |
