Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
1) Lizzi is in da house! (“I told you! That grandniece of mine has more moxie than any three nightingales I’ve encountered running across Wellington Square on St Crispians Day!” muttered her great uncle Clive Staples as he rushed down the hallway, loose pieces of note paper, a bookmark fashioned from a pressed cutting of a Mooring oleifera branch, and a spare Number 3 blue pencil dropping from the pockets of his waistcoat.)
Hey! This is the TToT come join Lizzi and the co-hostinae as we offer our lists of the things and the events, happenings and interactions that filled the 7 days since we last met. It’s fun, beneficial and… good for the soul.
So, anyway I’m on a short schedule this morning but, fortunately our Head Mistress, L. Lewis is with us this Saturday am, so to my twisted thinking, that means I can totally toss any compulsion to write a normal TToT post right out the window. (Actual window ->)
(No, I don’t suggest you consider the question, ‘So what we were reading here in the previous weeks were your idea of conventional and normal presentations Ten Things of Thankful?’)
2) Friend of the Doctrine, Cynthia, being the multi-talented lifeform that she is, launched her new website this week! ‘Intuitive and Spiritual’ you should stop by!
3) zoe (leave it to z to take a well loved trope like a parrot on the shoulder and re-cast the (slightly) un-reliable narrator (of nearly all pirate adventures) with a small, boisterous dog! Joules …. on my count…. ‘aarrr’) and her Six Sentence Story(s)

5) Val’s totally fun ‘My World at the Moment‘
6) ‘Almira‘ in the upcoming Chapter, we learn much more about Hunk Dietrich, Auntie Em, Dorothy and a waitress named Hazel.
7) Phyllis and Una (photo evidence) ->
8) The Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)
9) the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) ’cause sine qua non, binyons, sine qua non
10) SR 1.3 the most benign of all the Secret Rules!

FRIST!
Fa Rist it is!
Yay for Cyndi!
I do love that treehouse!
I’ll second the Wakefield Doctrine!
The Almira story is helping to get me through all that this year has brought me/us. Thank you Clark. Hope your weekend is going well.
thanks Kerry… it’s been a very enjoyable process with you and Val and Denise and Lise reading along with me as we learn this curious part of the life of people we all knew growing up.
I’ve bookmarked Cynthia’s website. Thanks for sharing that. Having a dog to pet on a week like we’ve had would be very beneficial I think.
they are perfect lifeforms,
Hazel, huh? I’m already conjuring things about the wisdom of waitresses. :)
yeah, they (the good ones) exist in a realty akin to confessionals, barrooms and childhood blanket forts.
Hehehe SO glad to be back, and glad it gives you the chance to be swift and sketchy and leave us thinking about more. SO proud of Cyndi, even though life took me away from the launch.
Being back is the benefit that all of us share, we know where you’ve been and we’re stronger for your return.
This week of all weeks it was good to know this positive community was right here waiting! Thanks for that!
you are totally welcome
I think this is a fairly conventional list. 1-10, numbered and everything. :-) Love the Gulliver’s Travels map!
yeah, I’d be hard-pressed to explain why Gulliver’s Travels features so prominently in our story!
