Just in case we need new premises tonight... :)

I meant to say that I had to search for what a nightingale sounds like! It's been on my mind to do that ever since you first mentioned it, Theresa!

Watched RH today and DD came in and sighed dramatically, saying "not again!"

It's very magical, Twigs. Especially when all the stars are out, or the moon is shining

I sympathise about your day too. it sounds worse than mine! I think half the trouble was it never got light and there was a non-stop heavy drizzle

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 18:27

Nightingales? Pah. We have the police helicopter.

::ghetto fabulous::

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 18:30

Kewl, Techno! Beat da bird, anyday, innit!

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 18:34

Yeah, is well 'ard in my ends, innit.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 18:41

Poor old nightingale, surplus to requirements in this modern age

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 18:47

I beg your pardon. I don't know what came over me. I would far rather have a nightingale.

One of my tasks for tomorrow is to refill all the bird feeders, in the hope of attracting more of our feathered friends into le jardin.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 18:55

It isn't very sensible though, to go on mooning about a bird, is it?

I was trying to find a nice vid for you to see but is a bit slow. Good in parts though

PassTheTwiglets · 23/01/2011 18:59

Oh not at all, Theresa, it's lovely to notice the plesant little things in our world! Other than the pleasant thing we mostly go on about here, that is :)

Techno, if you lived near me I would let you have some of my home-made bird cake - we made some yesterday but accidentally made about a gallon of the stuff and I'm not sure what to do with it all now..

Yes, some very wibble-worthy scenes there. Let me have a rummage in the basement.

::pause::

I think this works quite well, but

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 19:10

Visual Marmite it may be, but it's another one that YT is being precious about.

Twigs, I bet the nightingale would like some of your bird cake.

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 19:14

Sadly, I don't think I could squidge any of Twiggy's homemade bird cake into the squirrel-proof electrified and barbed-wire-fortified bird feeders. Am beginning to realise that Twiggy is a bit of a domestic goddess, wot wiv da bird cake an' all.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 19:29

the squirrel-proof electrified and barbed-wire-fortified bird feeders

So that's what the police helicopters were all about!

Twiglets, was it you who made the chocolate cake the other day?.

for those who like variety, but not enough of the very best example...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the loveliest of them all?

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 19:36

Very nice in parts, Theresa.

::dares not ask who some of those gentlemen are::

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 19:43

No gentlemen, some of them, by the looks of it! I have no idea who some of them are either, maybe I should get out more.

Not that you see that sort of sight very often along the Limpopoville main drag.

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 19:48

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt! There are a couple of night clubs near us where I imagine one might see that sort of well-oiled muscularity on any night of the week.

::lightbulb::

Shall we plan an Academy outing?

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 19:51

Sounds like a lot of fun Remind me. What does one do on such an outing?

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 20:02

Well, I suspect that what would actually happen - to me anyway - is being turned away at the door for being too old, fat and uncool! Meanwhile are being busted inside.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 20:15

Sounds like they wouldn't let me in either. Mind you, to paraphrase Groucho, would I want to enter a club that would let a person like me in?

LaVieEnTechnicolor · 23/01/2011 20:17

But I doubt there any are muscular men in vests at the Groucho Club!

::deliberately missses the point::

TheSmallPrint · 23/01/2011 20:25

evening.

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 20:26

Whot needs nuscular men in vests anyway when you can have muscular-ish men without vests?

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 20:27

or even muscular... stoopid fingers

Theresaholeinyourmind · 23/01/2011 20:29

Hello Small, how are you? Cinema visit go okay?

TheSmallPrint · 23/01/2011 20:29

Well The Kings Speech was excellent. Very emotional. Average age of the audience must have been over 60 - a bit like when we went to see Slumdog!
