I am waiting for my GS to visit, haven't seen him for 2 weeks so looking forward to seeing his smiley happy face.

Its snowing here in London, I live opposite a Park and it looks so beautiful.

No horses to bet on but people could race crabs?

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 20:56:55

Lah, Lah, Lah, La-la, Lah, Lah! I've got it!

My battery's running low...think I'll have to resort to my library book now sad...I can hear Compo shouting to Marina and Howard in the living room. That's what happens when a 'difference of opinion' occurs in this house - all culture flies out of the window as I move to the other room...wink Night all smile

Slim boys in sarongs bringing round mango juice cocktails maybe?

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:59:46

Night marelli

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 21:15:59

Does Pete wear a sarong? Is he slim?

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 21:22:34

Have a look at his profile, Galen!
But this is fantasy island, after all - we can be whatever we want to be...grin

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 21:32:54

So I'm slim elegant rich, naked, running with the wind with my long (still white) hair streaming out behind , being pursued by a young yul brynner!

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 21:45:54

Is he naked too? Or is he wearing a wispy loincloth? With a rose between his teeth?

Goose Sat 23-Mar-13 21:48:50

blimey! this is Saturday night with a twistgrin

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 21:50:58

Oh no, Goose, I don't think I could do The Twist in this outfit - it would ruin the effect I was going for...

gracesmum Sat 23-Mar-13 21:59:53

Yul Brynner never did it for me alas. But I did watch 2 episodes of Sherlock yesterday and realise I need to renew my sub to the Cumberbitches! Slim boys in sarongs - mango cocktails .... a girl can dream........

Can I bring Denzil Washington to the tropic isle, please? He`d make it infinitely more enjoyable.wink

Number of course you can!
Sunflower, that's the place
Wellcome to my world all, enjoy, relax.
Bathe on the the tropical sea and let the gentle waves wash away the cares you have.
Just let go and dream

gracesmum Sat 23-Mar-13 22:18:08

Gosh, you've got me craving a cocktail now! haven't got the wherewithal in the house, just as well, but an absolute craving - do you thinkl I might be pregnant?grin

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 22:20:54

Prawn cocktail? confused

sunflowersuffolk Sat 23-Mar-13 22:26:55

remember that song Bali Hai? I think from South Pacific .... if we visualise this island enough we will forget about the blizzard outside

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 22:27:41

No, just relaxingsmile
Lie back and enjoy!
(Do not think of England! It's cold three)

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 22:29:27

Yip!
Bali high will call you any night any day, here I am I your special island, come away, come come away!
I quoted it earlier

Relaxing this morning, made Victoria Sponge, two little GSs came for sleepover. Both asleep, one by 7pm and the other by 8pm dear little souls aged 2.1/2 and almost 5

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 22:35:52

Night all!

j08 Sat 23-Mar-13 23:13:16

Flowerofthewest Aww! Lovely ages. smile

j08 Sat 23-Mar-13 23:21:27

DD finally rescued me from my gloom and despondency and we went to a pub for a slap up supper. Left DH to do his own fry-up. (He could have come hmm)

grannyactivist Sat 23-Mar-13 23:26:02

That sounds like a pleasant evening out Jingl; the Wonderful Man cooked for me tonight and it was a lovely treat. smile

Nelliemoser Sat 23-Mar-13 23:49:47
