Island in the Sun
Paddy Bloggit has presented me with this Desert Island
Now we all know that there is no such thing as a free lunch…
Well with my island comes a list of instructions
Given a list of categories, choose one item for each.
In addition a person to accompany you must be chosen and 3 other items.
This is the ‘list’:
A CD: Under Milk Wood – BBC(1963) full-cast drama of Dylan Thomas’ poetic play for voices starring Richard Burton.
A book: Notebook (and pencil* because a notebook is not much good without something to write with).
An item of technology: A Laptop with mobile broadband
A Film: DVD of the Original Forsythe Saga by John Galsworthy Produced by BBC
A Game: A skipping rope to make up my own games
An item of clothing: A kaftan & large Sunhat (I need protection from the sun).
A Photograph: Jack & Elly
Who would I take with me? Richard Clayderman – with a Piano.
Three other items I would take:
A wind up radio
My sewing box (well I could sew leaves together to make a fabric)
A hammock
* Thanks to Bernie “topgold” Goldbach
What and who would you take onto your desert island?

Well-played! GM
I saw this over at Paddy’s and started to mull over the things I’d take. It’s given me an idea for a post so hopefully in the next day or so, you’ll see an adapted version of this over at my place.
No time to say hello, goodbye….must dash!

May I compile my own CD?
Vaughan Williams, Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Tallis, Spem in Allium
Sibelius’ 2nd Symphony,
Carolan, Morgan Megan
Oh heck…may I take a set of CDs?
Book…..A compendium: The Bible, The Q’uran, Bhagatvita (spelling) Guru Grant Sahib, writings of the Buddha etc etc and a thousand blank pages at the back with a supply of pencils.
(you see, I want to write my own and need references)
technology…a magnifying glass…
Film…A Man for All Seasons ( and a life of Thomas More)
Don’t need it….I can devise my own using stones etc
A Tuareg’s outfit….
I have a post card with the most beautiful pair of eyes I have ever seen on it!
Who would I take?
No-one I know…I’d hate to submit them to such torture…so a complete stranger.
Three other items?
I’ll go with the wind up radio…..
and the sewing kit…. with a good pair of tailor’s shears!
a Learn to Play package with some small musical instrument.
This is my first attempt to perform an impossible task!
