"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Izzie, he's going to really get cross with you if he finds out!

yep, no worries, he won't find out... will take it off youtube, R-boy will never see it.

How are you today McT - you got any plans for the evening?

"Go Gators" ? You trader.

First play. J J all the way.

Alligator is good baked, broiled, skewed, grilled, ......Go Bama.

Morning crew, hope you're all well. Lovely Sunday morning here and about to set off for my walk. Busy day ahead, visiting family and friends. Ciao.

Saw that rather late....apologies.....we went out to see two ex- Little Feat men play an acoustic set at one of our local music spots.

Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett. Y'all heard of them? They worked hard and played damn good.

Hadn't... have now Good sound McT!

TC hope you're day was alright.





Night all x


tired...

Hey Izzie. Wasn't sure whether to drop anchor or not. I'm a bit disgruntled. Surest way to lose any Christmas spirit is to work retail in the last few weeks before Christmas. Didn't have any particularly horrible customers (well, okay, one) it's mainly management that drives me nuts. We had "door crasher" sales this morning (people lined up waiting to get in when I arrived before 8 am this morning 'cause you can never have too much toilet paper!) and only 2 cashiers were scheduled! It was insane!

Anyway I'm really tired.

Enjoyed the videos. McTag, my better half would have really enjoyed Little Feat.

heh heh....well Alabama sho' cleaned up the floor with them Alex! Poor Tebow. I was so sad for him. My boys and the Prof absolutely have no compassion when it comes to that kind of thing. Broke my heart to see him crying. I was mad at all of my boys today.

I am still working. Soon...I can go to bed with a big smile on my face because it will be DONE. I just wonder if I will be able to get up in the morning...woo!

TC...I don't blame you girl. Rest up. It will all be over soon. But I know time drags when your right smack in the middle of it.

Have a happy day Dutchy...

Rest well Izzie.

Enjoy your evening McT. (really - it's morning over there now isn't it? Hope you enjoyed your evening! )

<deep breath> Here I go, here I go, here I go again gehn.

me

I AM DONE! MY HOUSE IS CLEAN AND DECORATED! Which means that now I can just enjoy baking and visiting with friends and family...because AL MY SHOPPIN IS DONE AS WELL. Wow. Thankfully - and I consider it Providence that I bought all of the Christms before the lay off. It is amazing. I am a PROCRASTINATOR. And for some strange reason - I got most of it done before I knew we would have no money.

I have been tippling. Surprise, surprise. just had 2 -Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan brown ales. It was good. Really good. I am not normally an ale person...but this is great.

Starting to wind down, so - will go lay down. Truly should.

hugs to all...continues happy wishing of a great weekend.

Eyes are trying to close must get to bed before that happens....

GOod night!
mis

this is one of th first few snaps clicked in my cell phone..



others wil follow..

Oh gosh izzie i was so conscious whenever u called.. I was half tensed if you would understand my accent..half tensed as to what I would actually talk! you know it doesnt come easy as u pour it down in paper or comp! and then i was worried if u would take my lack of speech as detachment or aloofness.. I tried to message to the number u called from but it dint let me to!
Im gonna bug yu more! you just wait and see! im gonna make hrehaan talk to you as and whn possible whn hes old enuf for that!

mismi..dutchi..thnks for dropping a msg there! And all of u..im really really grateful for the warmth showered across the miles..and barry? whrs he?

Hi verbivore, thank you for sharing the picture with us, Hrehaan is just so handsome, I love his dark hair just like his mother. What is it like to be a full time Mum, prefer that to working in an office?

mismi glad you enjoyed your 2 -Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan brown ales, bet your mouth was going like a loose tappet, poor Prof. having to listen to that all night. I can quite safely say that because you're a long way from here.
Good night and sleep well. (((mismi)))

I think Bazza would prolly like them....

Echoing Dutchy - what a handsome boy. MS Dhoni has a future rival (so my missus tells me - I'm just seething with envy!!).

Oh McT - I reckon he would - they are great - I love them - would love to go see them play. You know, I reckon JPB, Missy et al would too........

oh....... can we get them to come sing on the deck for a bit of party!

JPB - oh, reminds me of Chi-town... wouldn't that be good to do again a?



I am debating whether or not to disappear off next weekend - me and the little fella up to London - not sure yet, but I have itchy feet!!!!!!!! Bazza, know you have 1 and 2 of 4 staying this weekend so will talk with you tomorrow prolly and have a bit of a catch up.

Talking of catchup -

GUESS WHAT



GUESS WHAT


GUESS WHAT


I just heard Hrehaan.... I did, I heard him burbling in his MaMa's arms - ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I was quite screechy when I heard him with very moist eyes too - he sounds sooooooooooooooo gorgeous, I wanna hold him.

MaMaVerby is sounding great.

It's so good to talk to you Ind and don't worry about the language barriers - we understand each other pretty well I reckon - your English is fantastic and I speak no other language (a little French but that's about it) - so, I reckon you are amazing at being able to communicate with me. Thanku. Post your pics when you can, but rest as much as you can too - try and sleep when he is sleeping - tho I know he's doing the night shift at the moment! Ha - bless that little boy.

Skype, skype is a wonderful thing. Love technology.

Missy - you are so organised. I haven't done a jot of Christmas yet and my plans for yesterday fell by the wayside ('nother story) - anyway, maybe today. So glad you did get sorted. Good on you girlie. Please send some inspiration my way - I need to be organised. Hoping you rested well last nite - so please all is in order there Dixie - love you Mis.

TC - yep, hear ya. I'm making valiant "efforts" to be Christmassy but am struggling in my head badly. I hope you feel much better now and that the work time will not be too difficult. I hope a really nice customer comes in and does or says something that will make your day special. Keep yer chin up girl ((TC)) - or come sit on the poop deck with me and we'll eat a packet of humbugs together Bah.

Alex - ahhhh - you are Crocodile Dundee a? Have a lovely Sunday and week ahead - warm hugs.

BEAgle - what is K having done to her ankle? Oooooooooooh! Must be nearly zzz time there - you got a busy week ahead?

PaddyBoy - oh, just looked that young man up - he's gonna have to be added to the list of swoon factors - mmm mmm good! Yes, little Hrehaan is a mighty fine looking wee fella - he's stolen all our hearts already. Send my love to MrsPaddy - hope you guys are doing well in the Emerald Isle.



((((Blue))))...you xox








oh, now I was tired last nite so I missed the Chrimbo toon for Saturday - so, here it is, I know you're all singing along - ha - not!

So here was Saturday Crimbo tune (tho I didn't trust myself to post last nite )


http://www.carols.org.uk/winter_wonder1and.htm

pause...

Sleigh bells ring ,are you listening
on the deck, it is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
Titanic in a cyber wonderland

Popped away has the blue boy ;(
He’ll be back to wish us all joy
He writes a merry prose
to gals and boys, he knows
whilst sailing in a cyber wonderland

In the meadow Alex he is fishing
Later he’ll be doing all the dishing
Tai Chi’s coal is sat in the Store
Our Dj’s gonna bang down the door

Later on, he’ll conspire
as he sits by his fire
Placing “coal” unfraid
with the fire he’s made
after Sist sent it to his Wonderland

Big pause..


Dixie Boys would be grinning
Those noses would get a chilling
They’ll frolic and play, In Bethie’s snow far away
Playing in a winter wonderland

HAMBURGER sent us dunny
This we think its rather funny
After you my dear...
Keep the path clear.
Heads up in a cyber wonderland


we're happy tonight
sailing in a cyber wonderland





and begging an answer, can they get any worse, yes, the answer is yes!


Wishing all a great week ahead xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ha BEAgle - you are so big and brave many 1000's of miles away... hahahahahahahha - I can't wait to hear what Mis is gonna say back - giggling here... you are so cheeky!

Any time! Little Feat play Chi-town regularly. My neighbor is a HUGE fan and sees them whenever they're in town. Guess who else knows them?

Christmas Toon for the night - now y'all know this toon and you have to have the toon in your head when you read...>

Whilst Shepheds Watched.... or...

http://www.carols.org.uk/whi1e_shepherds_watched.htm


While deckhands watched
Their sails by night
Our Paddy had to stick it
Coz he got groany
re: MS Dhoni
He's green regarding cricket.

"Fear not," he said,
I’ll keep my head
I have no troubled mind
So long as my Mrs
loves Soccer Balls
Then we’ll just all be fine”

"Bazza did raise
a smile or two
And had a glass of wine
He passed the vino
to his guests
Then Tulip said “where’s mine?”

"Our Tai Chi now
she’s feeling better
And off to work she goes
She’s on her feet
All day long
Thats so not fair on toes!

Our Mis and Alex
Talking sport
They’re not so chalk and cheese
Whilst Alex cooks
Our Mis reads books
One’s Hot, one’s Midwest freeze.

Big "Hey" to BEAgle
Just look out
Us gals, we have some power
This Motor Mouth
And the gal from the South
Will give you a cold shower!

Now Monsieur F
I have a question
I need to ask you...
When you go out
Into the cold
Is it one muff, or two?

All peace to crew
and A2K
and all who just pass thru
read fast, this toon
is getting worse
I must hand back to Blue.

As you all
can surely tell
I have just lost the plot
I do hope you
Will keep your humour
Coz tonite, that’s all I’ve got!

I have to go
To my bed soon
Which prolly is quite good
I'm on the school run
in the morn
g'nite, I'll say, I should....



<be very glad you cannot hear me, or y'all would need ear muffs!>
