“Hallo, Eeyore. How are you?”
“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily.
“So it is.”
“And freezing.”
“Is it?”
“Yes,” said Eeyore. “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.”

“Most of us have small, sad places in our hearts. My father felt deeply but kept his feelings to himself. Or rather, being a writer, he let them escape in his writing. And so such sadnesses as there were put on cap and bells and emerged as Eeyore.”~C.R.Milne #WorldMentalHealthDay

Word of the Day is ‘copemate’ (16th century): the friend in life who gets you through.

It’s one of the 365 entries in my almanac Words for Life, a collection of my favourite words and etymologies to give (I hope) each day a boost.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen fireflies. What a treat last night in London, On.

If people ask me,
I always answer,
“Quite well, thank you, how are you today?”
I always answer,
I always tell them,
If they ask me
Politely…
BUT SOMETIMES
I wish
That they wouldn’t.

It was a Special Pencil Case. There were pencils marked “B” for Bear, and “HB” for Helping Bear. There was a ruler for ruling lines for the words to walk on, and Blue Pencils and Red Pencils and Green Pencils for saying things in blue and red and green. ~A.A.Milne

@ArthurSociety
An article in the Globe & Mail quotes Arthur Ransome's comment that any boy who doesn't enjoy Jacob Slocom's 'Sailing Alone around the World' deserves to be drowned - like duffers?
