At Sunday Scribblings the Second, the given word is 'letters'. My initial thought was to write a piece about a priest entitled 'Letters pray' but I changed my mind.
Do you get letters? I don't. I asked the kids in my
class if they had ever
written a letter, and Johnny said yes, he wrote the
letter J on his locker door yesterday.
My friend Keith writes letters; mind you.
he is getting on a bit. He probably uses one of those feathery pens!
Seriously though, he really does write regularly in pen and ink to a number of
fellow bloggers in America and India.
When did a letter last land on your doormat? All I
get is stuff advertising stuff I don't want. Or bills which I also don’t want.
Stuff them I say.
I still have the Parker pen I was given on my 21st birthday. It's
tortoise shell and gold. How smart is that? I also have an ancient bottle of
Quink - that's posh person's ink in case you’ve forgotten. Queen's ink maybe! I
remember squeezing the rubber tube in the pen once and realising why
it was called a fountain pen. I've even got a blotter - not that it was
much help to my white blouse that day.
So how about we have a shot at writing a letter to each other? Perhaps not!

I would Rosey but I haven't got your email address! Oh I see now, you want longhand and not the tap, tap, typing!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a first class idea Rosey ...we remember Quink - i bet the Queen was involved ;)
ReplyDeleteIremember Quink too.Letters are lovely. I cannot remember when I last received one.
ReplyDeleteI loved using the fountain pen... maybe I should scratch around in the draws and find one and then write you a note! No, better still, cut a feather and write you a note!! ;-)
