I wish I was a dromedary
On the sands of Timbuktu
I would eat a missionary
Skin and bones and hymnbuktu

...not by me, of course

Bloody talented lot ain't we? Am really impressed with Vinny's effort.

Anyone seen "Notes on a Scandal" have just seen it, and it is very good. Really enjoyed it, although Judi Dench gave me the creeps, but that's the whole point I guess.

~~a swedish poem~~

N�r morgonens sol genom rutan smyger,
glad och f�rsiktig,
lik ett barn, som vill �verraska
tidigt, tidigt en festlig dag --
d� str�cker jag full av v�xande jubel
�ppna famnen mot stundande dag --
ty dagen �r du,
och ljuset �r du,
solen �r du,
och v�ren �r du,
och hela det vackra, vackra,
v�ntande livet �r du!
(Karin Boye, "Moln") When the morning sun sneaks through the pane,
Happy and careful,
Like a child, who wants to surprise
Early, early on a festive day --
Then I extend, full of growing joy,
My open arms towards the coming day --
For the day is you,
And the light is you,
The sun is you,
And the spring is you,
And the entire beautiful, beautiful,
Awating life is you!
thanks netti..erm....but I did nick most of it...hehe..!(O:)hello little mouse....(:O)

Crikey ... Vinny's gone all Scandanavian on us .He'll be quoting Ibsen soon whilst playing Waterloo on the piano .
He' ll be quaffing Aquavit and eating smorgasbrod soon.

Dolly's gone all bucolic .Do you think we've become culture vultures rather than giddy biddies !

morning - so it's all that cheese bunging up my bandwidth is it? puta's very slow today.

ooh, ain't it a devil when you have to wash the washer before you can put the washing in? The drawer gets disgusting (softener that does it).
Anyway, I'm not sure whose toothbrush I used? - the faster I scrubbed the more the handle lit up - sorry if it was yours but I did dunk it in some domestos before I put it back.


exerpt from A Song from the Suds

Queen of my tub, I merrily sing,
While the white foam raises high,
And sturdily wash, and rinse, and wring,
And fasten the clothes to dry;
Then out in the free fresh air they swing,
Under the sunny sky.

I wish we could wash from our hearts and our souls
The stains of the week away,
And let water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure as they;
Then on the earth there would be indeed
A glorious washing day!

by Louisa may Alcott....
erm, some of us don't cheat in our English lessons <ahem!>

Morning peeps..!

To have a little fun.
Dozy Jill forgot the pill
And now they have a son".

[netibiza]

let us flee
o'er the sea
Away from the others
just Vinny and me!!!

[Robinia]

Vinny and neti sailed off to sea
in a beautiful sprout green boat
They took their gear, and plenty of beer,
wrapped up in an old hippy coat
Vinny looked up to the sh1tehawks above
and croaked to his air guitar,
Oh larvely neti, oh neti moy larve,
what a nutty neti you are, ooh arrr....
oooh arrr,
oooh arrr,
What a nutty neti you arrrr!
