Imagine this, but in purple!

Oh yes, and .

Mulled white wine, no less. Much nicer than red mulled wine (the addition of a bottle of white port to the mix enhanced the flavour but may also explain its effect on me).

Is that you and your bust piping, then, Maudie?

::::

::sirens wail, empires fall, worlds collide::

Is nothing sacred in this place? Who gave you the pic of me in my dog walking get-up, Maud?

Did I mean burst ?

Well, did you, Massive?

::Hangs up Do Not Disturb sign and attends to a particularly, ahem, resonant scene in that vid, signifying as it does the inner turmoil of the female character who, in order to give free expression to her feelings and thus reach a higher level of self-awareness and emotional authenticity, must divest herself of her inhibitions and him of his shirt::

.

::Drags herself away from the vid::

Lovely poem, but I wish they hadn't tacked that schmaltzy song onto the end of it.

Bugger! Was expecting music not The Man's dulcet tones.

Think Mr S was too engrossed with his computer game to notice!

Well, I mean 'bust' in the sense of 'burst' rather than of 'bosom' Maud, Does that help?

I have lost my earphones again so am not wired for sound.

We don't even have a cat or rabbit, either, that would bear them off to their lair

I wondered, Massive, whether bust piping was some exotic nether garment, perhaps akin to a Liberty bodice, unique to the island.

If you have no earphones, you'll just have to .

Might they have been, ahem, borrowed by the SuperBoys for some electronic entertainment?

Oops, sorry Spiro! It came up after BWWMD and seemed apt. I never listen to the song for that reason, Maud just keep rewinding the poem.

Massive, you have boys though. IME they are much worse than rabbits or cats for filching and concealing items vital to one's survival.

Right. I'm off to bed with a hot man poultice. Good night all!

Ah - headphones!

I'm half asleep and wondering why said boys would be borrowing Massive's bust piping for electronic entertainment .

Ignore me, I need my bed.

Sweet dReAms!

No doubt that is the case..I shall have to search their beds in the morning.

That vid of yours is quite visceral, without the sound, Maud. Blimey O'Reilly.What a fine figure of a man he is.

What a good idea, ladies. Bed is just what the doctor ordered.

Bitey knight all. The smirky one in Maud's vid was pretty darn nice, too, wasn't he?

::Looks back at you::

He is indeed a fine figure of a man although I have seen finer.

::wibble::

The zombies are defeated so I have a brave, strong, handsome man LordD to protect me on my way to bed.

Night all!

Twigs or should that be Twig9?!

Can't believe you all appeared after I gave up waiting last night? A girl could get paranoid you know!!

Yup I'm awake at silly o'clock. Too much on my mind so I've filled it with other stuff from here instead!!

Knight all

Oh and lady D - mulled white wine and Zombie documentaries?!. Lord D really knows how to show you a good Friday night!!

Mulled white wine? Great, like I need a new form of alcohol to try :o

Vampy, , I swear that wasn't me! I would be Twig1 not Twig9 :)
You were up early - hope you get some sleep later!

MissT had her school disco last night - golly but some of those girls look grown up. It was quite frightening. There were a few 8 year olds in full make-up I let MissT have a bit of glitter but I'm talking blusher and red lipstick!!
