I did not now what to call our new vision land thread. Always wishing to imagine and roam I picked a word from random in the dictionary, cause I did like AT ALL the description they had for visionary. Hence we are the land of litotes. Where the quiet messages are found for those who look for them that vision of farness beyond the self bringing greater insight, intention and bearing into ones own life and into all things.

Happy Birthday Glitterfairy

Have left on the deck for you to find, an enormous chocolate cake with nuts, marzipan drops and topped with loads of creamy ganache icing. The candles are edible and are made of either marzipan are just pure chocolate. I am hovering around it and am so tempted to eat a slice now!

Have a beautiful day

hi all, thought would have quick look in here and see it's gf's birthday - happy birthday - have a glass and a piece of cake for me.
i hope to be in here more often where i had a pain free natural birth and am swaning around with my head in the clouds having massages, manicures, pedicures, the works as apposed to rl emergency caesarian after 21 hours, baby in special care, running - well shuffling - around like headless chicken with over grown and unmassaged everything and an over excited 4year old.
so am off to take my lactation concoction, feed my darling and watch daytime tv.
catch you all soon xxx

glitterfairy · 16/08/2004 12:05

Paps the cake was absolutely divine brilliant and wonderful. Thanks a million. How are you? Am really excited now. However in rl today am maniac Beetys detox of maple syrup, lemon and paprika. In here I am having more of that cake and some very nice fruit salad and yuogurt with prosciutto and fresh figs to follow. YUm the good thing about detox is that good food sounds fantastic.

Sibble thanks and mega congrats you probably need a pedicure. Hope the baby is doing well and you are coping with the hospital aspect of things.

hello Sibble and Glitter
Thanks for visiting Melsy away having a fling with Mickey Mouse and I am left to my own devices and am wandering around in a sleepless daze. Baby paps still enjoys waking up at least 2x a nite for requesting on tap service. Have been trying to disuade the 4.30ish - anyway did not go very well this morning. So chucking that theory out the window till we get back from our travels out of the land of litotes. Would image she will wake up LOTS when camping. Who needs cakes when a sleepless surreal state will suffice.

Well the detox doesn't sound all bad glitter... yogurt still allowed then... can't quite get my head around the maple syrup thing...
going vegan for afew days is a good way to cleanse the arteries and makes you feel as though you are yogic flying

Pleeeeeease can someone make me a herbal remedy to make my dd the healthiest she's ever been for the next week, and can I lie in the long grass with a really cold fruity drink??

wobblyknicks · 16/08/2004 13:12

paps - sorry about baby paps - try and enjoy yourself tho

No worries wobbly - we went camping awhile ago - so she knows all about tent life. She will want to wake up at the crack of dawn though - so will probably take naps with her!!

herbal remedy for your dd

here is a yogurt shake sure to bring good health or put hairs on her chest

yogurt (bifidus)
porridge - cooked
banana
apricot
fruit juice
molasses

sounds heinous but really not too bad and of course super healthy

wobblyknicks · 16/08/2004 13:22

I really admire you paps, the thought of camping with my dd sends me into a cold sweat!!! DD has a lot of porridge, bananas and apricots anyway and a bit of yoghurt but will make that shake for her, thanks!! Don't think she's coming down with anything serious but need to convince my parents shes happy and healthy as anything so I can come to the party!!!

glitterfairy · 16/08/2004 13:28

She is being sent hearty vibes wk from Somerset. Paps only allowed yogurt sheep/goat tomorrow today liquid lemon etc only! boo hoo it is making beety burp alot!

Anyway back to the land where all is calm and pleasant!

wobblyknicks · 16/08/2004 13:30

glitter - thanks for the vibes, if they work I'll bring you LOADS of lovely things to make you forget the detox!!! Vibes for cakes - I think thats a fair swap!!!

dh & baby paps are in bed sleeping right now.. dh rung up while we were in town so meet up and came home with us. Feeling abit sleep deprived obviously. He just rushed out b4 for the video camera. dd performing pre-sleep acrobatics

i just bought a papillon top... got out of the lift at h&m on the wrong level.. never get lift instructions and right in front of me was a top with papillons all over.. so bought it so I can be detected at the party it a summer top, so I am expecting it to be warm in the weekend. Speaking of which we must do a spell here in the land of litotes to encourage the suns rays.

Awww, so you don't need a label now!!! Don't think I'll find a wobbly knicks top somehow!!!

Papillon · 16/08/2004 13:41

still making a label
which goes against the grain for me, might I add. But of course if I can come up with something clever I will submit to labelling for a short period of time

OP posts:
glitterfairy · 18/08/2004 23:03

Paps I wont be wearing a label and neither will my kids or my dh! Must say I have never ever worn a label even when working for the government I refused to wear one and as a hospital worker used to hide it under my uniform.

glitterfairy · 22/08/2004 21:44

hI gLITTER

Mel and I are having a lovely time together and our dd's are best mates already! It was a beautiful moment when we arrived - more of the litoteon soul sisters finally united

nice one that you stayed on with Beety - hi Beetroot Must say I was very impressed to have the Yurt installed on site!

The motorway from party headquarters to Bristol was slow and full of people either crashed or broken down - cleared up nicely though after that.

I am glad you are all having a good time I am coming in the land for a soak in the sea spa after a longish journey, tired kids and shopping for England. My dog is home though which is great and chewing on a bone.

My neighbours are keeping watch over me and have come to offer support as they noticed the boys in blue cruising round!

May even have a cake in the yurt later with a nice cup of sherbet as decided to fast today after my excesses. So am really on redbush and water today lol you have me addicted to the stuff now.
