Love this space .... it's just so ..... quiet ......oops! ... that was a bit noisy ....

I won't say hello for fear of inciting a conversation. Bad enough that I've increased the overall number, to the tune of one.

Still all quiet on the hermit front - just as I like it. Welcome Shaun - you must be the first James Bond hermit I've come across.
Keep it quiet out there, don't go on about it. If you meet a hermit, invite them over to stay.

Not many people have passed through the landscape and I haven't invited anyone to join Social Hermits - so we're doing ok.
We do have a new hermit - welcome Jeremy. I'm sure we'll see eachother in the distance as we wander around hermit wise.

Here's a hermit joke to while away the week:

What's the opposite of a hermit?
A hismit.
Boom, boom.

With raised hands reverently meek

He heard the holy hermit speak,

And humbly thus addressed the sire

Whose glory shone like kindled fire:

'How blest am I, what thanks I owe

That our great Master deigns to show

His favour, that his heart can be

Content with Lakshman, Sitá, me.

Show me, I pray, some spot of ground

Where thick trees wave aud springs abound,

That I may raise my hermit cell

And there in tranquil pleasure dwell.'
