Hello My Faithful

I know I am so very late with my update, but with school and revision (snicker) my time is spent. But I have a number of funs things to relate which I hope will raise at least one person's mood somewhere in the world. I have no pictures to display as my computer is, well it has left my, the cab is waiting outside and some other periheral waits for her...sigh, I am alone again. The point being that she has taken all the pictures with her (And my poetry, scripts and novels, the scallywag).

So be it, I have some good news to those who recieved my mass email about the goings on at the farm. My good friend Fisher does know what a young female donkey is called - A nice ass - lovely eh? Geordies...life is no goos without em. I also recieved a number of comments about names as well as some interesting insights. For instance my Uncle Ron pointed out that it is going to be quite damaging for my niece, Em Gillis, when she learns that she was named after a donkey, Emma who gave birth...AS for names, there were...well they were mostly crap, I am going to be honest. Simon offer the Donkey of Nih...yeah...I know. Dyker offer, and I have to quote his email as I still do not quite understand it...

"As to a name for the donkey- im thinking "C.L. Assy" which could be simplified to Classy when yelling at her to move or something. It is sort of reminiscent of Lassie (the famous dog), and someone like C.S Lewis, but it also has that all important "ass" reference (since it is an ass - even the bible says ass)."

Wow...

There are sooo many questions, I am just going to say..no, sorry mate, just...no.

But the best name is from Rhianna, Pinata, which is a clever play (See Dyker?). And it can be shortened, well, nicknamed, Pinny, which seems to fit as a donkey name to me.

Alas I have been informed that it is going to be called Miss Elli, by my sister Carey. My opnion (And I get to have one as it is my blog) That is crap, sorry. I like Pinny. It has that more homestead/hearth farm feel, rather than some White Supremicist Southerner who whips his slaves as they scream, 'We sorry Miss Elli, we sorry'. Nice eh, I have totaly ruined that name now I hope.

I must also start a new campaign, on an issue that has not been resolved. Also at the farm is a pond/pool/swimming hole that was created by diverting some mountain streams. It has been nameless for some years despite that my mother even offered some incentive, whoever went into it first (It is bloody cold, all year round) would have it named after them. Now, only one group of people has risen to the challange, but some other great names have been offered. So my readers, leave a comment or email me and I promise that this summer I will craft a sign and name it henceforth. The options are:

Pid's Pool - One of my mother's friends was called Pid when she was a child and they thought it would be a nice bit of nostalgia to use that name (I forget who it was mom sorry...Pauline?). Mainly my mother wanted to call it thus regardless of anyone completing her trial.

Mar and Stephf's Pond - Now the reason for the name is it is a combination of Marianne, Stephanie and Stefanie, the three ladies who actually completed the requirments and jumped in (In their underwear...and I have pictures to...verify). So they have the 'legal' ruling on their side.

And finally (And my favourite),

Simon's Hole - Now Simon never actually got in, but said he would if he was assured that it would be named thus, and my mother was...hesitant. Well too bad, I will make a sign with whatever anyone thinks is best.

So there you go, vote for one of these or come up with something even better?
