wordybirdies say thank you all round

...to the very lively members of Bradley Thursday Club who really made performing at their Summer Social an absolute pleasure. What stars you all were!

now wordybirdies are working on new material for their upcoming September Show in Coedpoeth but also of course working very hard on promoting the online poetry business side of our work as well.

it's going to be a long, hot, hardworking but ultimately profitable (we hope) summer - lots more poetic musings to come, and lots more performances from wordybirdies LIVE! as well

sitting in the garden being poetic!

if only we were! what a beautiful day - perfect for setting up camp in the garden and getting going on some more pieces for wordybirdies LIVE!

but can't take the PC into the garden, unfortunately, and the laptop isn't playing ball at all - may resort to the low-tech (and best) way later - pen and paper. coloured pen, even, as it's summer!

another great wordybirdies audience

Yes, a big thank you to the ladies of Llay WI on Monday evening who gave us such a warm welcome, and who clearly really enjoyed the wordybirdies LIVE! show.

we had a wonderful time - how we love performing - and were so pleased with the warm reception that we got.

third show of the week tomorrow night - big audience too! can't wait!

if you belong to a group that is looking for entertainment then e-mail us at nest@wordybirdies.co.uk our rates are very reasonable and we always include a poem dedicated to our hosts!

great audience!

The perfect description of our Friday night audience at Marchwiel over-40s Friendship Club - they were brilliant, they laughed at everything, including some stuff we didn't even think was that funny, but that just goes to show that wordybirdies appeal to everyone's sense of humour!

this Club has just got going and Friday was its fourth meeting, so we say more power to their elbow - if you'd like to go along, it meets at Piercy Hall on alternate Fridays - so that would make its next meeting Friday 25th June 2010, we think.

there are usually announcements in the Evening Leader on the community page but if you live locally you are bound to know someone who goes to the Club.

wordybirdies LIVE! - three shows in a week

yes indeed - the two-woman show phenomenon that is wordybirdies LIVE! starts a really busy week with three separate shows coming up within six days...having a ball sorting the programme for each one and making up special poem for each host group.

we LOVE performing! especially as we perform only our own original work, which gives us a double creative edge - we write it and then we recite it - man, that rhymes! we are poets!!!

the World Cup decision...

if you follow us on Twitter, you'll already know it but yes, we are going to write a World Cup poem this week and post it on our site on Friday, just in time for the big kick-off on Friday night.

we mulled for, ooh, ten minutes, before arriving at this decision! what can we say? wordybirdies like to be up with the zeitgeist - we also like just saying zeitgeist, especially as one of us can speak a bit of German...

personally, think it's time we all started speaking Latin again...let's get something started about that, shall we? I feel another Weekly Poem theme coming on...primus inter pares, can you beat that for a phrase???

the World Cup - to write a poem or not?

Yes, folks, that is the question of the day, or possibly the week. Do wordybirdies go with the flow, jump right in and come up with the goods in the form of a World Cup poem? Or do we ignore the whole shebang...we don't do football, either of us, but that doesn't mean we can manage to avoid the general hysteria...some cogitating required here, I think.

on the upside there will be plenty of times in the next five weeks when it will be nice and quiet on the roads and in the shops, so maybe there really is a silver lining to every cloud!
