Hiya twass, lovely day here, sunny and crisp. You are having a good time gallivanting! Enjoy yourself
![]() ![]() Read an extract of Pond, the short stories hoppy was urging planets to read. Very well written, quirky and certainly one for logophiles everywhere! However I don't intend on parting up with the eight quid it would cost in Kindle form when there are so many stonking e-books out there for a fraction of that cost if not completely free So I've just bought one on the Goddess Elen of the Trackways and British Shamanism for less than two squid. ![]()

Just catching up! Glad your gig was good!
I've just bought a big load of wool today to start knitting some christmas stocking fillers as knitting is very relaxing and keeps me in a zen like state ![]() trouble is you can't knit and post ...i need four hands...any chance i can have some octopus DNA added so i can improve my multitasking? I have been away helping my Mum celebrate her birthday. We decided to push the boat out as it was a significant number and ended up with 5 days worth of celebrations. Just an excuse to have the family together really.

Have you got a clear sky to see the shooting stars? it's cloudy here ![]() ![]() Or are you just getting a bit carried away with the Viking obsession again? ![]()

You might as well. They have tried everything else. Perhaps an animal made essentially of tubing will do you the power of good!. Am 3 pages back reading up but hope you fare well P. And everyone else as well of course.

That's just how a birthday should be celebrated. Reaching a ripe old age is something to be proud of when celebrities are popping their clogs in their 50s
Glad your mum had such a fabulous time! What was the birthday cake like? My sister asked for spring flowers and showed the woman who made it a picture of the sort of thing she had in mind. That was when it became interesting. The 'spring' flowers included daffodils, daisies, cornflowers and poppies. So not all technically spring. But the funny ones were the poppies. It seems she modelled them on the sort of poppy one wears on Nov 11th. So rather than them being a representation of the flower they were a representation of the representation, complete with a black disc in the centre. But it looked very pretty. |

Interesting. My sister organised it. It was made and iced by one of her colleagues who is Polish. It was sponge but slightly diffrent to what we might make but delicious. It also had a sort of creamy layer where we would use marzipan as a base for icing. The decoration was fondant icing with flowers made from sugar paste.

Thanks twass, very sad. A spectacular turn out for the wake, mrk was on traffic duty, fields were opened for parking.
She would be delighted that she is being buried on 31 October ![]() Eta thanks planets x And I hope the wake was joyful as they so often end up being. Always better to celebrate the life rather than mourn the death. YAY for roast pork, planets! Sorry to hear about the pukingness.....I will try to work a little healing magic for you

And I hope the wake was joyful as they so often end up being. Always better to celebrate the life rather than mourn the death. YAY for roast pork, planets! Sorry to hear about the pukingness.....I will try to work a little healing magic for you ![]() Well finally back and just had lunch *licks roast pork covered lips* glad the wake went well tk, it's very touching when so many people come to express their grief. I agree with Twass too there was much laughter at my dad's wake/ i accidentally bought some Thornton's Chocolate Brownies on the way back from the hospital don't know if anyone has any room for a little afternoon tea. it wasn't raining today *faints* and no rain clouds either but on the way back there was this rectangular section of rainbow right in the middle of a clear blue sky most unusual but i'm such a child i always get very smiley at a rainbow ![]() hope you are already for samhain celebrations (they surely MUST involve a chocolate brownie or two? ) oh and your casting has certainly lessened my Linda Blairness keep at it *big thumbs up*

So I've just bought one on the Goddess Elen of the Trackways and British Shamanism for less than two squid. 





Or are you just getting a bit carried away with the Viking obsession again?
