Zombie has her hospital bed so the Phalanx had a sleep over.

[IamtheZombie]

They did a very good job of tidying up after themselves. Who knows what they will get up to next though? Why not join us and find out?

Previous thread is HERE

Hah, quite few quiet smokers here then, I'm bringing the cocktail Sobranie.

Funny I've never seen a woman playing bagpipes.

I used to be a shit hot Blackjack dealer

Hearts both! I really pushed the boat out. (Get it, boat? Because... cruise...)

I'm actually headed back to the Southern Hemisphere for a 3 month sabbatical on Monday, so had to attempt to get an exposed phalanges appropriate for public viewing. They're marginally less Hobbit-like now. I'm going to have to don my pike from down under for the next few months!

I get awfully sea sick. I hope someone's brining newspaper to sit on on this cruise.

I'd forgotten about Skat. Haven't played it in years. Huh.

I'd rather play Settlers or Ticket to Ride than Poker, but that's partly just jealousy that a friend who I taught to play poker now makes serious dough playing it OL. I think I should get a commission, no?!

If I get drunk enough, I decide that it it's a good idea to smoke a cigar, and regret it the next day. (I actually mean smoking an actual cigar. Not whatever fids does with that Cuban. )

What an amazing, sunny sabbatical, PotOfYoghurt - hope you have fun!

Getting very mixed up here! If you don't drink it's ok, if you don't smoke it's ok, if you can't play cards it's ok, but you can all dance!! 💃💃💃 We will dance on the deck at midnight but please don't let me fall overboard cos I can't swim!! This is after the houseparty providing we are all in one piece 😝 We have to invite the zombie kids!!

Susie I was beginning to worry as I haven't even heard of most of those card games but I do dance!

Somer the forecast is rain, rain, rain ALL next week. I think I arrive on the Wednesday and the next sunny day is the following Tuesday! Not a good start.

Never understood Skat. Am v old school about poker, no odds or strategies.

Saw my Cuban cigar friend on Thursday. Will leave that there.

Sabbatical? Yes please.

You're right Susie we can all twitch around a bit in time to some music.

On a good day Zombie could give us all a jive lesson

I think you've only mentioned guitars in relation to your Cuban friend fid.

Is the cigar reference a subtle indication that things have moved on?

Hmm? so nosey, can't help it

I refer my learned friend BBB to the last (?) thread. Towards the end of December. The one where I told the Phalanx I was going on a date. First one since 1873.

Much support. Many demands for updates. Till I crawled home at 2pm the next day.

It was Somer 's quip about cigars. Curse her. Can't look at him now without grinning like a loon. Which he mistakes for something else.

I don't know about bagpipes but I bought a euphonium home last week. So far I can make a fog horn sound helpful

Oops, sorry, information retention isn't great at the moment.

Well I hope it's temporary.

Zombie has a didgeridoo. She can't play it, mind, but if anyone would like to have a go please just ask.

If the euphonium is anything to go by I think I need to stop blowing things

Perfect foil for the tiara Z

I always thought a didgeridoo was mythical. The unicorn of the music world.

DS2 has AND can (sort of) play the Didgeridoo. He hasn't quite mastered the circular breathing. There are no classes here, so he has to rely on Youtube.

I'll volunteer his services for the house party

In my job, I sold musical instruments wholesale -( didgeridoos included.) Never quite knew why people bought all sorts of stuff -:)
cajon - just a fancy orange box , berimbau - gourd with a bit of string with a knot in it .

Bil2 has a didgeridoo that he keeps in the corner of the living room. He hadn't played it for years and we had a few drinks and suggested he gave it a go, he put his mouth round it and ended up inhaling years with of spider webs- twas hilarious (sorry bil)

Didgeridoos are bad ass. Will go well with the bagpipes and euphonium. Maybe we need a sousaphone too.

As long as no one brings a fucking vuvuzela.

BBB I love those Soubranies. They remind me of you & Zombie

Cigars, didgeridoo's. What's with all the phallic talk?

Hope everyone gets a decent nights sleep.

Zombie hope you have a comfortable one

I've always wanted to learn the theremin.

So I've just managed to post on last thread instead of this one. No idea how.
CBA to repeat it.
Nite nite
