@Izzie,
Take care, it's sunny now but there's some more on the way unfortunately. Glad it's just the shed. I've been a bit concerned about my parents in Somerset, but the river that flows past their house is moving very quickly but so far is in no danger of bursting its banks.

@izzythepush,
Thanks all for the well wishes...

Here we go again!!!!!!!! Neutral

The riverbank's gone under again and the rain iz heavy and the kitchen sink is making some really nasty noises <urgly gurgly> Shocked

So much rain, who knew we'd need an ark! Mr. Green Gotta good head start on that - 2 dawgs <laying in front of the fire>, 2 kitties <laying on the bed and sofa and a BIG torch in case the power goes out again.

Compared to so many folks around the country, we've been lucky - so much water and it keeps on coming...

Then again, you hear what's happening around the woild and then realise you have to count your blessings.


Now, just need to stop sneezing <achoo> Arrow




ZyP - hope your folks are alright in Somerset!

Thank you for all your Git Well cards, my pelvic splanchnic ganglion is indeed better after the colonic irrigation treatment, as you can see:
Try (American Music Awards 2012)

I maybe a pedagogue but I’m not dogmatic (I just have a hangdog expression).

It is not about us, but the Maori people.
As one venerable elder stated, more than a century ago, "Taia o moko, hei hoa matenga mou" and for those of you co-habiting in Southern States and therefore unfamiliar with anoxic hypoxia, I thoughtfully supply a translation at my own expense…

(Inscribe yourself, so you have a friend in death).
Well I cannot agree more, or less; unless you consider less is more!
And I think all who agree with me and have tattoos will...Say DINGo!

So howza it gowing wid youze all?

I maybe a neophyte in the poker game that is Mexican politics and I still don’t know the correct way to address a man born in Scotland – is it, ‘Scottish man’, ‘Scotsman’ or A.N. Other?
After all, is ‘Scots’ not plural?

Anyhoo, notwithstanding the fact that many Canadians cannot differentiate between, ‘Subsidence’ and ‘Substance’ I urge y’all to support the change of name of Mexico to err, Mexico!

As Ima sure y’all know when the country gained independence from Spain in 1821, it officially became known as Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The name was chosen in a kinda homage to the United States and has remained unchanged ever since. Thank you.

I would also like to make clear that Wandels delightful daughter was not responsible for the change to the latest Hollywood blockbuster, ‘Red Dawn’ – you know the one where the Chinese launch an attack on Washington State and are only defeated by a brave bunch of Walt Disney characters.

Well, so as not to block the sales in China; all the baddies are henceforth to be known as North Koreans! I have not yet had the opportunity to enquire of Tsar his feelings, but I share his outrage!

Rocky dude, you say you’ve been flying solo for seven years! Heck son, that ain’t nothing.

I was flying solo in my teens, first with crop dusters, then with the Mail service and onto Top Gun.

Just remember these simple rules and you’re good to go…
Basic Flying Rules:
1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees, protuberances of a rocky kind and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

Hell, in them thare days I had so many accidents the Air Investigation Agency used to say my girlfriends legs spent more time in the air than I did! Ain’t that right Mismi?

Ground Control: "123DG, bear to the left, disabled aircraft on the right."
Pilot: "123DG, Roger, I have the disabled aircraft in sight, but I don't see the bear yet."

More from my ‘Don't get wise with us’ file:
A captain tries to make light banter with Sydney, Australia, Approach Control ...
Captain: "Good morning, Sydney, this is United XXXX, we're 50 miles out and have your island in sight ..."
Approach: "Roger, United ... you're cleared to circle the island once, then try to land."

A young Southern pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies. So, this one time he was approaching a field during the night time. Instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?"
The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where!"…Sum of a B…h!

Ah, sweet Sherry; how utterly delightful you have returned and have brought with you a new crew member. I always knew you were the one most likely to succeed.

Nonce Words by Seamus Heaney -

The road taken
to bypass Cavan
took me west,
(a sign mistaken)
so at Derrylin
I turned east.

Sun on ice,
white floss
on reed and bush,
the bridge cast
in an advent silence
I drove across,

then pulled in,
parked and sat
breathing mist
on the windscreen.
Requiescat . . .
I got out

well happed up,
stood at the frozen
shore gazing
at rimed horizon,
my first stop
like this in years.

And blessed myself
in the name of the nonce
and happenstance,
the Who knows
and What nexts
and So be it.

Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995.


Thank you kindly, and if my present disposition searching for the cave dwellers of the Central Sahara Desert precludes Crossing the Yuletide Rubicon; may I wish one an y’all a very healthy, safe and happy Festive season with your loved ones and a revitalizing New Year.

Salutations.

Addendum:
Remember, remember, the 25th December – Deuteronomy states you are not to eat of the Ossifrage or the Glede!

Although if the fancy takes you, you may eat Pygarg….. Enjoy!

Postscript.
Good news everyone; Izzy’s team Southampton, has moved out of the relegation zone.

This remarkable turn of events proves Darwin’s theory; there is indeed – evolution!

Ps. keep dry Captain; http://youtu.be/s7RSTuwKxe8

You don't need Heaney Try.

I realised I was flying solo at about 8.

One track mind you have. Wink

Ah Izzie - tell the river to get back to it's place and leave you alone!

I am so tired! What is it about the holidays that make us behave like crazy folks?

I must work harder at just saying "no". (No comments thank you very much)

Excited though...I have been asked to sing an Andrew Peterson song. Whether you like Christian music or not...the song breaks my heart. So pretty. Whether you believe it was real or not...the imagery of that kind of faith...a woman and a man who braved much in spite of ridicule because of love...whether for a baby they knew to be divine or just love for each other...well - it is quite lovely.


I have learned much in the last five years....much of it in great measure to A2K. Love that I have found grounding I didn't know prior to thinking it all through...thankful that I see perspectives I have never been able to see before. Grateful that I have such a love for those far and near. Never knew it was possible. I hope you all (those here in the U.S.) had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. For my precious friends elsewhere....I am so very thankful for you.

Hugs you all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IzY on 2nd December 2012

I am sure that you would like the still in your garden – wishing you a very Happy Birthday tomorrow and a bottle to go with it…

http://www.calvados-coquerel.com/Images/Situation/ps-carafe-xo-maxi.jpg

Enjoy your day, ZyP! Very Happy






Good Evening Crew!

Had a very tough couple weeks (surprisingly lonnnng weeks) battling with some debilitating ills and a rather large amount of water to contend with also! Thankfully, we’ve had a couple of dry days (due for rain later) so all the “stuff” that was scattered around the house is now back in the shed and hopefully that will be the last of the flooding. The ailments are improving – they too will pass. Winter is most definitely here – minus temps and lots of frost (luverly Razz ) – when the sun does shine, it makes for the most beautiful winter’s day. Man, the moon two nights ago… 5.15pm… the biggest yellow moon just above the horizon… it was drop jaw awesomeness. Very Happy

Anyhooooooooooo…


Misssssssssy – I would love to hear you sing your song… can you ask the Professor to video it? Huh huh huh???? You will be wonderful, that iz fer sure. ly(((((Mis))))) x

MaMaVerby – thank you for the sun thoughts – it worked! Hugs girl. x

Blue: Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te Kārohirohi i mua i tōu huarahi. Roger that! Smooches baby, mucho love to you and yours xox


Thinking of the ((((crew)))) – near and far – wishing the woild well!

@Izzie,
Thank you very much pet. That's a really beautiful bottle, reminds me of some whisky bottles I saw in a shop in Amsterdam. They had little glass sculptures inside, the mostly was a golfers or motorbikes. I was thinking about getting one for my dad, but although he loves a single malt, he's not particulary bothered about golf or motorbikes. So I just spent the money on whisky.

I did pick up some really nice Calvados, and some really really nice Calvados in Cherbourg, but I also got two really cheap bottles from Aldi, which aren't bad at all. I'll probably have a spot of the really nice one tonight as I've not opened the really really nice one yet. I've also got some Belgian beer that I got a taste for in Amsterdam.
