Surely upon reflection more a landloper than an interloper ...

Your Lordship's welcome warms the heart . . . a Groschen for your thoughts!

tristan said...

hey !

i'm not that cheap !

Rouchswalwe said...

My good man ... a Groschen has 12 times the value of a Pfennig!

Rouchswalwe said...

I meant of course my DEAR man ... Americans should never attempt British English unless quite certain of the usage!
Forgiven?

I am collecting interesting comment verification words this week, and this one is 'caliesse', which I had to add to my collection.

I do like that little cat with the ball, she's become quite a friend!

I like your Vieve's allotment blog too.

hullo lucy, this time the word verification is hylad, the previous one was pribluff

i found the little cat in the street about three years ago, the tiger just appeared in a charity shop which the loved one was hovering in last week

tristan said...

maybe the little tiger is an extraloper ?

( the word verification for this comment was "graxi" )

Rouchswalwe said...

given your hint of "little" ~ would "extraloper" include the sense of the tiger being a minor performer in the play over the sense of extra-, as in "extraterrestrial," for instance?

i'm deeply suspicious, maybe it's a subversive tiger, though not one that will achieve wisdom through suffering like narayan's tiger for malghudi ... it'll shake up the spiritual landscape on our kitchen windowsill, that's for sure
