Vanquish this from your vocab – The Nest
https://littlewrendotnet.wordpress.com/2015/10/26/vanquish-this-from-your-vocab/comment-page-1
Vanquish this from your vocab. October 26, 2015. October 26, 2015. Vocabulary is awesome. There are millions of wonderful and weird words in the world, and so many ways to say so many things in creative and curious ways. Keeping that in mind,I’m going to ask you to remove a word from your vocabulary: retarded. Here’s why. Some time ago, the word retarded casually snuck into our slang, becoming another term you could use when something wasn’t good. Break your phone? Just call them retarded. Katie Rowney i...

Ringlet resolutions – The Nest
https://littlewrendotnet.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/ringlet-resolutions
January 5, 2016. When Jack White of the White Stripes sang, ‘your problems hide in your curls,’ I felt at last my people had been represented accurately in a song. Remember in that episode of Seinfeld called The Fix Up, when George Costanza asked Jerry Seinfeld about a girl he was being set up with? He asked his friend about her hair situation: ‘Let me ask you this. If you stick your hand in the hair is it easy to get it out? For years, I’ve fought against what my mop naturally wants to do: bounce, sprin...

Lambing Season | Pine Needle Paths
https://pineneedlepaths.wordpress.com/2016/05/24/lambing-season
April 29, 2016. Gamboling, bouncing lambs! Lambing season is well underway. Two thirds of the 120 ewes have already given birth. The lambs dash and spring and leap sideways. They frisk and cuddle and bleat. Some even nestle on their mother’s back. In the evening, the barn is a scene of cosy bliss. Curly white forms lie snuggled down in the straw sometimes all in a jumble , eyes closed, mouth half-smiling. How cute! It’s a good thing the lambs are so cute because, man, are they a lot of work! These are la...

A fall from grace – The Nest
https://littlewrendotnet.wordpress.com/2015/10/07/a-fall-from-grace/comment-page-1
A fall from grace. October 7, 2015. I once considered myself a writer, with artistry at the tip of my pen and real ink on my fingertips. Sentences were carefully constructed. Words were expertly chosen, built on solid foundations of active verbs. Adjectives embellished the nouns, sparingly, and conveyed tone. The baby-boomers mourned Standard English’s fall from grace, while those born in the new century idolised the new age. I will not stand idly by while Standard English suffers at my feet. I refus...

September 2015 – The Nest
https://littlewrendotnet.wordpress.com/2015/09
My torturous relationship with public transport. September 26, 2015. As a teenager entering adulthood I lived in close proximity to reliable public transport, and was in no rush to receive my provisional license instead championing the learner licence for a solid four years. This resulted in a turbulent love-hate relationship with the bike, buses and trains that transported me across the city, and … More My torturous relationship with public transport.
