Rock my socks meme: tashmania

I cannot imagine why it took me so long to answer this particular meme - except that I have been writing very little altogether. But to say why Tash is one of the most delightful things that God ever put on this earth for the relief and solace of other human beings is not much harder than to breathe. Is she charming? Check. Luminous smile? Check. Looks lovely? Check. Energy of a half-dozen locomotives? Check. Loves books? Yup. The right kind of books? Yup. Affectionate? Yessir. Anything to be said against her? Can't say as I noticed. Tash, you are wonderful. Period.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sollersuk

"If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it
And what is more, you'll be a man, my son."

I wonder why it is that I find more often that it is women who deserve Kipling's famous challenge/praise? Anyway, sollersuk is one person who seems to me to have filled all her unforgiving minutes with good work. May she go on doing so for a very long time to come! Cento di questi anni!
