Was that New York.....?

Oh, the joys of automatic pilot! I'm still using one of the pedal-powered ones....sad

I've miraculously shed 3stone in an instant and am wearing long floaty floral diaphanous skirt, cheesecloth long top, gypsy style headscarf and flowers in. Y hair! I'm hovering in a hazardous hash induced trance, with a dreamy smile, saying ' peace and love ' to all I meet! sunshine

If we didn't, it's coming anyway! - also some dessert

Innit wonderful that my virtual body is heading out over the Atlantic like a bird in the wind (hope the hippo knows the way) while the other one is languishing on antibiotics and staying near the loo....actually it's a little better today.

I think I'll lighten that martini bottle a bit.....

Did we have pizzas in the 70s? Don't think we did - what did we eat?

Anyway, all contributions welcome!

Great Circle route...blush

Got a flask of margaritas, nicely chilled and strapped to broomstick - just to keep me going, you understand. Got many more makings in my undercarriage (on the broomstick, not up my knickers. That's reserved for my stash)

Where is Carol? She's keeping very quiet which is unusual is she coming along?

super remember to pace yourself! A bit. Love the sound of your outfit. I have long skirt with little mirrors sewn on, and my cheesecloth blouse.

Any one want a lift? Heading over Glasgow, on the Hreat Circle Route. Wheeee!!!!!

Means speaking in tongues! I missed an o outsad

The chariot is fixed, and the Hippogriff raring to go. No barrel of booze this time as the wizard got his spells mixed...it turned out a six foot bottle of martini....
.
I've got my hippy flares again, and my fringed waistcoat, and many badges and a load of beads....

And I'm bringing a three foot pizza

Anagram Thu 05-Apr-12 18:45:17

Supernana, don't overdo it before everyone gets there! We don't want to find you clinging to a cablecar throwing flowers at the scenery|! shock

supernana Thu 05-Apr-12 18:42:11

Have taken photo of the Rest and Be Thankful. Hope it appears in my photos.

supernana Thu 05-Apr-12 18:41:16

jeni Love the word. Is it naughty or nice? Or maybe a combination twixt the two. smile I'm hummin' to the strummin' of my guitar...

jeni Thu 05-Apr-12 18:31:20

Glosslallia to you too!

supernana Thu 05-Apr-12 18:27:46

HI! You lot ready to hip hop? I've made a garland of freesias for my hair...classier than daffs. My East dress is off the shoulder and all soft and floaty [bit like the wearer]. I gathered together all my beads and bangles and have decided to go bare foot. May even wear a bracelet round my ankle. Lurve the music. I've had several glasses of something that fizzes up my nostrils and hums around the ear drums into the bargain. I'm all of a flush. So becoming wink. Mr S has put a little of the wak-bac into my beaded purse. I've tuned the tambourine...guitar strapped to my back. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
away I go...whizzing over the Rest and Be Thankful. The scenery is to die for. Speak in many tongues when I arrive grin

Oxon70 Thu 05-Apr-12 18:12:08

Here's the song for the evening

Gawd that takes me back

Ariadne Thu 05-Apr-12 16:22:45

I have driven over it, to have breakfast in Sausalito, which was wonderful. But probably won't be up for that by tomorrow morning. grin

Oxon70 Thu 05-Apr-12 13:18:42

I wanna walk the bridge! - once I've managed to land, that is...

bagitha Thu 05-Apr-12 12:40:59

Bump! So super can find it!

Anagram Thu 05-Apr-12 10:28:39

You'd certainly get on YouTube, Greatnan!

jeni Thu 05-Apr-12 10:28:16

Like it grin

Greatnan Thu 05-Apr-12 10:23:31

Hah! My walking poles will beat all your walking sticks! Wouldn't it give the people of San Francisco a shock if I started doing Nordic walking up the steep hills! I would probably get arrested.

jeni Wed 04-Apr-12 21:42:19

Shucked oysters and lobster for me!

johanna Wed 04-Apr-12 21:36:26

Oh, how wonderful. It seems a lot of us are ( albeit ageing ) hippies!

Sorry, dare not join this party. The last one was ten years ago, at the age of 56,
and I am afraid I was carted home in a wheelbarrow.
Thank God I was not a grandmother yet.blush

Anagram Wed 04-Apr-12 21:35:22

Perhaps we'll find Tony Bennett's heart! shock

Maniac Wed 04-Apr-12 21:32:58

Can I have a ride on the trolley car?.
and some clam chowder.
