Day beds and comfy chairs....help yourselves to drinks and cake.
Towels and robes if you'd like to use the jacuzzi .......

It's Friday and we need to relax not argue smile

Cooeee! Thank goodness for peace, quiet and goodwill... please may I take a seat in the corner and share some time with a gaggle of friendly Gransnetters...I'm sick to death of spitefulness. smile

There's a pot of coffee and a large plate of Scottish shortbread waiting. Shall I throw a log on the fire? Does anyone object to having Rory curl up on the mat? Do you have any special request for favourite music? Something sweet and low, perhaps?

While I wait for some company, I shall listen to Mitsuko Uchida playing Schubert's impromtus Op. 90 & Op.142 - music that lifts the spirit.

I've just got to put the washing on then I'll be back. Save me a piece of shortbread please!

Washington! Files read. Soup for tonight made what next?

Washing on! iPad in one of THOSE MOODS today! It'll start reading to me next.

That would be nice, so long as one could choose the voice. smile

It's male with an American twang. I don't know what I did but it just suddenly started doing it! Frightened the life out of me. Couldn't think what it was to start off with.

Certain voices are so soothing...I enjoy listening to Michael Gambon. And didn't Richard Burton have a velvety voice?

Oh, his reading of under milkwood was sheer magic!

Need to put my feet up after standing around Manchester Airport for at least an hour - see Good Morning thread. Every time the door slid open, I expected to see GD and every time is wasn't her. I don't suppose anyone wants to massage my feet. No, I thought not... grin

Sorry Anno, I don`t "do" feet! I`m coming in to get away from the football and the abuse being flung at the screen!
