Witter me not!

Or in the words of the late, great Frankie Howerd 'titter ye not' (but his version does not apply as readily to this post). No. This post came about following a recent conversation with Mr K. He took it upon himself to put forward an observation that perhaps - without the loooong summer break we have just spent together - he might have kept to himself. Under his hat as it were. An observation that had we not been together for a ridiculous amount of time I could have taken great offence to and waltzed away in a wonderfully dramatic fashion.

 Are you ready? 
He said that I witter.
Can you imagine?
Me - a wittererrrer.

Sadly I know that it's true. Even my thoughts are wittery. Most people develop a sort of filter that allows only important words of any significance to be uttered whereas I seem to have missed that evolutionary step. 
I have a faulty filter.
In an effort to rectify this I have given myself a challenge. Those of you out there who have heard of the haiku will know that beautiful imagery can be presented with very few words. I am going to follow this path with as few words as possible. Indeed I am only going to use three words for each image. I call the following a selection of 'triku's'!

Here we go.

Finished a shawl


Started a cardigan


Borrowed a book
(hello Mr Toe)


Bought a pot


And some spoons


Looked at plums


Dreamed of boats


Admired some rust


Laughed at this


Picked some tomatoes


Nursed poorly dog


Drove past this


Howled at moooooon


There we go.
How was that?
Hard for me!
I'd rather witter.
What think ye?

Bye for now

Jane

  5. That's a beautiful shawl. In the thumbnail it looked like blue lacy knickers! I was rather intrigued! Are those your Greengages? Delish! Hope your dog is all better. Witter away! xx

  11. Jane, your clever attempt notwithstanding - welcome to the World of Witterers! You've read my blog - do I witter? In spades! Wittering is wot blogs are ABOUT! Get over it! Hey, I can do succinct - if I try, but....heck...why blog if you're going to be succinct?

    Anyway, having wittered already, I'd like to say: love that shawl, wow, how fine is that! / Good luck with the cardigan, love the colour./So many of my friends seem to either own narrow boats, live on them, or are in the process of doing up very very wrecked looking narrow boats, or have just had holidays on a narrow boat. Seriously, they are all at it and I'm SO jealous. I'm afraid, (witter it not) a caravan just doesn't cut the mustard, does it?

    Hoping your pooch is well again. Carry on withering! Lx
