1. And not even St. Patrick’s Day! How green was my …

2. He has no problem does he?

   1. Hi Kathryn. He is certainly not holding back 🙂

      1. Just needless.

3. LOL great capture

4. Now this is funny, and it’s not even St. Patty’s Day

   1. Sometimes the English do break out. Unexpected, I know.

      1. They sure do… lol

5. That festival was full of unexpected…but this one takes the prize! But I wonder what, more exactly, he’s expressing 🙂

   1. Yes, there’s a lot going on there, isn’t there – a living installation of many cultural references. And all in a particularly interesting shade of green 🙂

6. Wonderful:)

   1. Well, I know this is revisiting familiar territory, Janet – not green men of course 🙂

7. Wonderful – I want those glasses! 🙂

   1. They’re wild aren’t they.

8. Lol…Every time I see any reference to Morris Dancing I think of Pratchett.

   1. That’s a good thought process to experience, Ark – evincing the educated rodents and much widdling all round??? Or am I on the wrong tangent?

      1. Well you got the sound right, Maurice
         The dancers appear in other novels, notably Lords and Ladies and The Wintersmith. 😉

      2. Thank you for that info, Ark. I need to read some more Prachett.

      3. Everyone needs t read him once in a while.
         Although I am disappointed with the newer stuff, especially Raising Steam. I think his illness is taking its toll, sadly.

      4. That’s sad to hear. He’s written so many wise and heartfelt words – Hidden In Plain Sight!

      5. Apparently he now ”speaks to his computer”.
         I don’t how the writing process is for you, but I find the physical aspect f typing or writing the words is part of the creative process and it differs slightly from what runs around in my head.
         Thinking words and simply repeating them, is not ( for me) the same as writing.
         I have no idea if this is part of the problem for Terry, ( and if his secretary/assistant helps put) but the writing in Raising Steam, for example, was flat and the characters came across as wooden – characters I have come to love.

      6. I’ve often toyed with the idea of dictating my stories, but I think you’re right about the act of writing. It is part of narrative process. It expands – makes some space around the original thoughts – and then often changes them. Of course, there may also be a time when one gets to the end of one’s well of fictional ideas, though that’s a rather sad thought.

      7. I can’t say, Tish. I know I have hit several brick walls in story outlines/plots, but usually if I leave them alone they will come home dragging their tales behind them …
         I have mental mapped out entire scenes and swathes of dialogue while out on a jog and all was required was for me to sit at the laptop and type. But I firmly believe that the physical act was the icing on le gateaux; something my gut tells me Terry needs and is sorely missing. Whatever the reason you are right about this : it is a rather sad thought.

      8. You’ve inspired to write a post about story writing, Ark. Thanx

9. Oops … ”… helps out”

10. Great choice for the self-expression, Tish! Very unique. 🙂

11. A contemporary expression of the Green Man?

12. A guy I once work with said to me, there are happy Irish and there are evil irish. I’m not sure where this guy fits in. 🙂

13. Green is my colour too 🙂

    1. 🙂

14. Nice touch of steam punk in there too? Brilliant.

    1. You’ve got it, Su. That was definitely the missing descriptor. Steam punk Morris, now there’s a name to conjure with 🙂

       1. Kind of almost makes sense 🙂

15. I like to have rites, framing our life!

    1. Yes, Frizz, I agree. Fiesta, festivals and feasts, and general friends and family get-togethers are all good for bringing joy to people’s lives, and creating a satisfying structure..
