* A Little Fresh For Me

Those of you who tune in regularly will know that I’m kinda busy at the moment. Happily so, I say carefully, but busy nonetheless.

Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese are running a 28 day writing challenge. This is Day Four, it being February 4th. In fact, there's Nicky now, tapping her foot, and giving me what can only be described as a look...

Gosh, this is fun, and it’s not too late to join in!

Did I mention how pretty Nicky is?

    The best friends are those with whom we can enjoy moments of silence. Looking forward to one day spending time with you and Yavin.

      Hey Paula! You're welcome anytime. I'll try to rustle up Bear, Max, King and Abbey too; there's a curry awaiting. Roth x

    That's a great story. I agree the greatest moments of friendship aren't necessarily the words we share but are often the silences in between.

    I'm astonished...Ingmar Bergman did comedy??

    Leave it to a badger to point that out to me.

    And I thought you guys were knee-high in hedgehogs there?

      Hey Mariann! He did several, most notably Smiles of a Summer Night (Sommarnattens Leende) from 1955. Please don't think I knew this, I rely on the badgers, too. As for hedgehogs. No, far too tasty to let them accumulate. Indigo

      Cover them in clay, and baked it in the fire. An old Romany gypsy thing*.

    Bergman, badgers and........ wait a minute - for this comment to work there needs to be beer in this story!

    Hey buster! - I demand a re-write! I'm not wasting quality comments like this one by just throwing them away you know. Who d'ya think you are. Get a rip in the space time continuum sorted or something and nip back and fix this glaring omission. And put some more logs on the fire for goodness sake. You of all people should know how drafty an Englishman's castle is.

      Alistair, Alistair, the beer is implicit; Yavin and myself eased into a nice warm pint of ale after the coffee settled. By the time we got to watching BLAZING SADDLES (our tastes are varied), many a flagon had been consumed. So there. Indigo

    What a charming story. It's true. Among the best of friends, one can enjoy a comfortable silence. I rarely test that theory, though. ;)

    I did NOT know that badgers love Bergmann, but now that you say it, the truth is so glaringly apparent that I dont understand how I could've ever thought differently...

    And wasn't this lovely? Silence amongst friends is so comforting isn't it? A shared history that needs no words.

      Hey Barb (I hope)! Yavin delivers no dialogue, which was the perfect (if unintended) metaphor. I'm glad you enjoyed it; I certainly enjoyed recounting it. Indigo

      Hey Jenn! Well, perhaps lightly friend with a little garlic? Or maybe with some kind of pasta and cream sauce? But most likely, simply on someone else's plate. Indigo

    You've put a smile on my face and made my foot stop tapping - and not because you called me pretty. That kind of flattery will get you nowhere, sir! (ok, yes it will but that's beside the point!) This was absolutely charming, Indigo.

    I can't think of Bergman without also thinking of Woody Allen, who was his biggest fan and often stole scenes from his movies for his comedies. Which is a confusing sentence.

    Despite all that, this is a sweet vignette about friendship, delightfully written, old chap.

      Hey Mike! Yep, the scene is LOVE AND DEATH were particularly chucklesome. And thank you, I'm glad it hit the spot. Indigo
