more people should learn sheep counting so you can have fun making yan memes with it #ffxiv
A guide to Cumbrian dialect numbers, by Becca Hall Illustration. Yan Tyan Tethera Methera Pimp, Sethera Lethera Hovera Dovera Dick. Yan Tan Tethera (Southwest England). Yahn Tayn Tether Mether Mumph, Hither Lither Auver Dauver Dic, Yahndic Tayndic Tetherdic Metherdic Mumphit, Yahna-Mumphit Tayna-Mumphit Tethera-Mumphit Methera-Mumphit Jigif. NUMERALS USED IN LINCOLNSHIRE FOR SHEEP SHEARING. They were employed in this part of the country at the beginning of the present century. This particular list was got from an old shepherd at Winteringham, who ran through the numbers very rapidly, making a slight pause at every fifth word. There is evidence that they were known at Appleby and several other places. Yan Tan Tethera Pethera Pimp, Sethera Lethera Hovera Covera Dik, Yan-a-dik Tan-a-dik Tethera-dik Pethera-dik Bumfit, Yan-a-bumfit Tan-a-bumfit Tethera-bumfit Pethera-bumfit Figgit (or Fixit) Yan Tyan Tethera Methera Pimp, Sethera Lethera Hovera Dovera Dick, Yan-a-dick Tyan-a-dick Tethera-dick Methera-dick Bumfit, Yan-a-bumfit Tyan-a-bumfit Tethera-bumfit Methera-bumfit Giggot

It was a cold one today, so I wrapped my Methera Lune around my neck and hoped for the best (other knitwear was worn). 🧶
White woman with teal hair and red lips looks cold. She is wrapped up in a big yellow shawl.

I guess that is why they changed back to the #HowdieDoodie #puppet that released a video accusing #Tory supporters of having a dubious #MethEra

I was sitting there muttering "yan, tan, tethera, methera, pimp, sethera, lethera, hovera, dovera, dick," and I suddenly became aware that it had gone Very Quiet and everyone was staring at me.

I learned to knit off my mum and my grandma, which means that when I count knitting stitches, I automatically switch to using Cumbrian dialect. You've not lived until you've had to explain "yan tan tethera methera" is not a spell, I'm just counting, while sat in a posh cafe in London.

Listening to Bird Tunes by Miranda Rutter. Absolutely sublime. Beautiful playing, grounded in place. Clearly some similarities to her work with Methera, or indeed Boldwood, but this seems more personal: all new compositions, traditional in form, inspired by birdsong 🎵
