Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:

Nugatory - trivial or not worth bothering about

Viscerotonic - a type of personality which is comfort-loving, social, easy going

Pugil - a pinch of something

Gyles' poem this week was 'Idyll' by Siegfred Sassoon

In the grey summer garden I shall find you

With day-break and the morning hills behind you.

There will be rain-wet roses; stir of wings;

And down the wood a thrush that wakes and sings.

Not from the past you'll come, but from that deep

Where beauty murmurs to the soul asleep:

And I shall know the sense of life re-born

From dreams into the mystery of morn

Where gloom and brightness meet. And standing there

Till that calm song is done, at last we'll share

The league-spread, quiring symphonies that are

Joy in the world, and peace, and dawn’s one star.
