Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Metanoia - the process of changing ones mind.

Perspicatious - wise and clear thinking.

Sollipsist - somebody who is entirely self absorbed.

Gyles' poem this week was 'Knight in Armour' by Alan Alexander Miln.

Whenever I'm a shining Knight,

I buckle on my armour tight;

And then I look about for things,

Like Rushings-out, and Rescuings,

And Savings from the Dragon's Lair,

And fighting all the Dragons there.

And sometimes when our fights begin,

I think I'll let the Dragons win ...

And then I think perhaps I won't,

Because they're Dragons, and I don't.
