Among the white yacht-trees,
Zipping near and far,
Marina fairies splash and play,
Sleek, trim and yar.

Luckily for me Google knew what yar meant – added extra – making the poem even better.

I learned the word from an old Cary Grant and Kate Hepburn movie, The Philadelphia Story. A great movie if you can borrow it from a library or watch on Netflix. Do you have Netflix in England?

We do – but I’m not much of a movie watcher – but Jackie watches enough for both of us!

Maybe it’s a girlie sort of thing – men prefer Ninjas and Transformers and things that shoot and splodge.

Love SF books – but I found the movies a bit of a disappointment – maybe I’m just not a visual person. I sometimes wonder if it’s the control freak in me – I like to go at my own pace not the pace set by the movie action. My biggest irritation with ebooks is how difficult it is to flip around in them.

My hubby likes to watch so he can then tell me how much better the book was. And that’s a hard thing about e-books, but they do have bookmarking and search. Search is pretty cool.

Do they play with dolphins and mermaids, Brenda? Smiles, Robin (Sleek, is a cool way to describe those water fairies!)
