It’s appropriate because I know that it’s a beautiful mausoleum built by a Mogul emperor (Shah Jahan) in memory of his favorite wife.Lometahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810223494332439033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-1139447782958991302006-02-08T17:16:00.000-08:002006-02-08T17:16:00.000-08:00Hi Roger!

Thanks for the nice words, I've been enjoying you new poetry too.<BR/><BR/>Things are fine with me, just very busy. I was queued up at the copy machine waiting for another teacher to finish, the other day, and there were so many students milling about, I asked her when the next train was going to arrive. Glad to hear Jill's team won and I bet the venison casserole was tasty.<BR/><BR/>Happy projects and see you again soon I hope.Russell Ragsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530659064306025325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-1139439205025618922006-02-08T14:53:00.000-08:002006-02-08T14:53:00.000-08:00Phew!Who's this poem for?So much poetry on your bl...Phew!<BR/><BR/>Who's this poem for?<BR/><BR/>So much poetry on your blog now. You've obviously hit a rich vein of words. Some good stuff, too.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're well. Glad you've popped by now and again. I've just been so busy lately, as I believe I said. I'm just snatching a few minutes on the blog before we go to bed. Just watched the football - Jill's a Chelsea supporter and we watched her team win convincingly.<BR/><BR/>Earlier I made a venison casserole.<BR/>What exciting lives we lead.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're well. Cheerybye and sweet dreams.<BR/><BR/>XXXRoger Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393920954647379508noreply@blogger.com
