Verbivore nice to see you whilst everybody else is asleep, I love your sense of humour. May I be the first to wish you Puthandu Vazthukal for the big day tomorrow. I know you will be viewing kanni first thing in the morning but am wondering if you will make a rice kolam in front of your house? If so, I will fly by, and come and have a look

Rainkeeper it must be getting awfully late for you, no wonder your mind is dreaming without you, you should have been in your hammock a long time ago. Thank you for your company also look forward seeing you on Wednesday night. :wink:

Very anxious to know how FlavourQueen pulled up last night, or should I say this morning? Bet those tootsies got a workout with the girls and why not, Mum had to to show them girls she's still got it eh.

Hello Black Tulip, a very good morning to you too, hang in there flower, the day will get better as time passes. Look forward seeing you later on and take you for a fly. I think we're all music lovers on this boat as the tunes that are submitted are just so incredible, I've enjoyed every one sofar. Thanks a million.

Good Morning Verby, RK and Tulip not to mention sweet Dutchy and Izzie and the entire crew!

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening

Well, I have awoken to the day to hear all this wonderful music and chat going on.

Dancing in the Moonlight RK - one of my faves - danced this many a time around my kitchen!!!! Fab. Bob S and Enrique (swoon) Somebody's Me (song has big meaning for me - still! One of those strange moments that seem to happen on this ship) The Journey with our WW-WOM - thanku girlie - keep strong, and if you need a little bit more - I'm right here hun.

Dancing shadows: What I see when I close my eyes, is a bar-type place - more French cafe, which, tho there are other people there, the guitar is playing but only two people are dancing, the lady is wearing red - it's passion - like they are the only two people in the room. Intense. What beautiful music BEAgle - you can feel the music.



VBV Vegemite - wishing you a wonderful vishu lunch and good tidings to you and yours always. Thanku for bringing your world to us.

Place : Kerala
Month : April 14th
Significance: Malayalam New year
Vishu is one of the important festivals of Kerala. It comes in the month of April usually on the 14th. According to the traditional Malayalam calendar, it is the 1st day of Malayalam month Medam which is the astronomical New Year. Traditional rituals are followed to bring in another year of prosperity.
'Kani-Kanal' is the main event of the day. The night before Vishu, the mistress of the house prepare the Kani. In a big pot, coconuts, a gold ornament, a new cloth, fruits, cereals and Konna (cassia fistula) flower is kept. Behind the pot a mirror and the garlanded deity of Krishna is kept. Around the deity, lighted lamps will be arranged. Early morning on the Vishu day, the master of the house sees the Kani and then the rest of the family follows. Children's are brought blind folded from their beds to where the Kani is kept. The elder in the family give money to the youngsters (Vishu kaineetam) and bless them. It is believed that the Kani we see and its good tidings will stay with you till the year ends. In Kerala, the Kani in the temples of Guruvayur, Ambalapuzha and Sabarimala are famous. Special pujas are held in these temples where the people go to worship and pray for a prosperous New Year.
The families then celebrate the day with joyous abandon by bursting fire crackers. The feast or the 'sadya' is prepared by the women of the household and the whole family sits down to enjoy the vishu lunch together.

Vegemite: I read…

Hi FlavourQueen well done, just what I expected, so pleased you had a ball. The Captain has an early unexpected visitor but will be around shortly again I guess. Take it easy, relax and read some of the postings here. Enjoy the rest of your day. The Eagle is abolut to land and settle down for the night.

OMG !! Not who I think it could be...thx for letting me know. You will have to wait to see the shoes I guess, as Iz is the wizz on the thread.

Hey Vegemite

You sound so happy. A couple of hours until your New Year and the ship will be celebrating with you hunni - we are all prepared on the deck here too, little one (you'll have to let me know tomorrow if I get it right!!!!!! :wink: )

I'm a CAPRICORN girlie - stubborn as a old GOAT and climbing up mountains sure-footedly! Funnily enough, I believe the BEAgle is a Capricorn too. I would call him an old goat, but I know I might get some Eagle Poop land on my head!!!!

Our BlueDevilPink is a busy fella - but I'm pretty sure he'll be thinking of the crew and will get back on deck when he can. Don't worry - he'll figure out a way of making the "biriyani" a veggie dish. Our Indeedee has guests for the weekend and is probably having a ball. Happy Days.

Wishing you a great day hunni..... and tomorrow we will celebrate with you.

the Beagle is a Virgo )
and am not surprised ur a goat dear..as intelligent as can be u surely are!!

Bless you Vegemite
