Also, einverstanden, alle zusammen: our dachshund <br />is called Bruno, I willingly give up Schumi for this, he <br />looks like an angel and slept in my lap, I read a book <br />Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell which <br />framed life in fantasy lines of delight <br /> <br />Nici superciliously looks down her nose at my illustrated <br />tale about a little girl who never wears matching shoes, <br />plays in puddles and writes down riddles while solving <br />crimes, I also found Margaret Mahy’s Blood-and- <br />Thunder Adventure on Hurricane Peak <br /> <br />And The facts and fictions of Minna Pratt by Patricia Mac- <br />Lachlan, it made me feel secure until you brought a new <br />GPS home - which also reads ebooks saved in Wordpad <br />imagine listening to Hamlet’s Mill instead of Daan Retief’s <br />languid Staal Burger charm while driving <br /> <br />I’m quite overcome, a GPS scares me, a touch-screen is <br />a threat, now it can even play music and read us stories; <br />how to master new technology step by step, I’m terrified <br />and elated at the same time, to get through the daunting <br />Hamlet’s Mill in this way would be great <br /> <br />But it is late and I only translated three letters today, must <br />sink down to earth and start working again - listening to a <br />book being read should be easier than reading on-line - <br />I miss the intimacy of a book held in my palms…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-08-19-fantasy-lines/
