Why not? Would you rather be Senneca?

Soutra Can't manage high heels but I have a picture of me dressed as the Sugar-Plum Fairy somewhere.. If there is sufficient demand I might be able to find it smile

As far as I know, no picture of me as the fat lady survives. Perhaps it was fear of this type of casting that prompted me to grow a beard.

Hi Nonu nice to see you this morning hoping you are feeling better,I have to say I have been very lucky this year and not caught any bugs at all,but I have banned anyone from calling if they have the slightest sniffle. grin

glammanana Sat 25-Jan-14 11:00:19

Roderick glad to see you are taking things easy today,enjoy your visitor and your lunch nothing better than a doze in the afternoon to recharge the batteries,I'm keeping busy this pm as mr.glamma has his sights set on the "football" ay 12.45pm so I'm keeping out of the way for a while.grin

Soustra ---grin

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 14:24:15

Soutra that's senna as in pods. Active constituent in a lot of laxatives. Vicious stuff!

Nonu Sat 25-Jan-14 14:42:31
