Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Splurgundy (Australian English): Sparkling burgundy.

Scrouge: To encroach on someone’s personal space.

Sardonian: One who flatters with deadly intent.

Gyles' poem this week was 'Where We Began' by Irving Berlin

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain

And to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to go out fishing

In a river or a creek

But I don't enjoy it half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me

I want my arm about you

The charm about you

Will carry me through to Heaven
