Hullo MacPhil,

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought I had a subscription to pay! :lol:

But here we are, a rousing sort of track. I like it a lot. 'Few punk rock songs so completely capture the boredom, anxiety, and attitude of the genre like โ€œDown on the Farm,โ€ a song that shows that even removal from the urban society the Subs and other bands critique does little to quell the angst they feel.' That's from genius.com, lol. I had guessed punk rock, though, and I'd picked up on most things.

The animal noises are excellent, of course. I'm reminded of The Beatles' 'Good Morning', which leads into the thoroughly toe-tapping reprise of Sgt. Pepper :D

Best wishes,
Fliss

Hooray for humour, MacPhil! The animals were fun indeedy. There should be more farm animals in music generally :lol:

Ooh, ice cream and strawberries, perfection! Very hot here today; with you too, I expect. Let's see what else we have in PAT Stores...

๐Ÿข ๐Ÿก ๐Ÿง = selection of ice-cool lollies
๐Ÿฆ = little vanilla cone
๐Ÿน = fruity cocktail!

Excellent :D

Bw,

Super-cool specs there, MacPhil!

Fab four indeed; amazing, the things you can find in PAT Stores, lol. Hope you (and Mrs MacPhil?) had a lovely stroll and breakfast ice cream, why not. Unfortunately I've been working for most of the day, but I managed to fit in a little poetry time very early :D

Bw,

Working those hours in this heat must be challenging Fliss. Hopefully poetry and the PAT larder are some consolation ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿš

Yes, a bit of a challenge, MacPhil. Still, temperatures are on their way down now, so that's a blessing. Poetry plus PAT larder is excellent :D โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฉ

Ooh, indulgence without consequence - there's a book to be written on that topic!
I am very partial to the PAT larder and will have to explore its treasures at some point. :) :roll:

Hooray for indulgence without consequence, John :)

MacPhil, you are so lucky with all that rain. It has been a very dark day here, but it's still dry, unfortunately. We really need a good deluge, but that's looking unlikely, alas.

Perhaps we should have a PAT larder thread :)

Bw,
Fliss

Oh no, MacPhil! But catch-up brekkie is always good :)

I like 'Fliss larder'; I'm reminded of the time I was on high-dose prednisolone and started taking up quite a lot of room, let's say. I'm writing a few things at the moment, but time's tight. Sadly Alek's mum has passed away, and I'm helping him with the arrangements.

Bw,
Fliss

I am sorry to hear that Fliss. My sympathies to Alek and to yourself (knowing your empathy).

take care

Ta muchly, MacPhil. We are muddling through, so far. Today we decided it might be soothing to take a little journey through Poetry World, so we both bought this book from Amazon, https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300 ... of-poetry/ (the bitesize approach is just right at the mo) :)

Yes, the numbers can be overwhelming Fliss. Anthologies are helpful for finding 'poets' and then selecting one to spend more time with.
