Was just having another look at the sky; still haven't seen any of the Lyrids!

Brace yourself, Dad!

My secret talents are:-

  1. I can yodel!
  2. I play the spoons (although not up to my beloved younger brother's skill - he could play two sets at once on the same hand!)
  3. I have almost perfected The Haka (in honour of my GD2 who I will be meeting for the first time in less than 4 weeks when my DD1 and her H return to the UK from NZ)!

Bet that you want to marry me now; they all do!

SummerDad · 21/04/2013 02:50

SummerDad · 21/04/2013 02:55

Believe me, if I could go back with my X, I would be in bed by 8.00 every night! Used to love curling up with him; we sometimes used to stay in bed all day!

SummerDad · 21/04/2013 02:58

Okey-dokey! Who would be your perfect woman/partner?

SummerDad · 21/04/2013 03:11

Does that mean that you have extremely high expectations and no-one could attain such or that you are so down in the dumps/have been extremely let-down and hurt that you are not willing to dip your toe in the water again? Join the club!

Oh. I'm here on my own. Never mind! Have been looking at the absolutely beautiful night sky; have not been lucky enough yet to see any of the meteors. There is a thick frost which makes everything in CG look lovely!

themidwife · 21/04/2013 07:12

Zombie is that you? Welcome Smile

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/04/2013 09:16

Hope he scores Mrs Grin

starsandunicorns · 21/04/2013 09:35

kitty just re read my post the" i wish i was kitty "was in answer to your question are you in Barcelona hehe will blame early morning sugar rush Smile

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/04/2013 09:51

Ah. See, that's where a comma would be helpfulGrin

"I wish I was kitty" reads as if you wish you were me.

"I wish I was, kitty" reads that you wish you were in Barce

Lesson over, enjoy your cake. Grin

Why couldn't you have a fry up on your own, by the way? I would have. Smile

AnAirOfHope · 21/04/2013 09:55

No im not zombie i just feel like one.

themidwife · 21/04/2013 10:01

Ugghhhh back is killing me!!

Had a lovely day at our local independent hilly record shop for Record Store Day buying vinyl Bowie, Kate Bush & Sigur Ros. Feelings of massive regret at selling all my original vinyl in the early noughties Angry

Then clearing out & painting & cleaning DS1's room who is definitely dropping out of Uni & have moved him into the office in the garage so he doesn't get too cosy!! Moving DD1 into DS1's room & DD2 into DD1's room because her room is literally 5"x6"!!

Then I can move toys upstairs & enjoy my living room! Knackered!!

Really needed that chocolate cake. Thanks Mrs! Or was it mini? Grin
