Don't you just love that deep purple? That looked nice I thought.
Whooo! They look SO warm. I want one immediately! |

Mort, haven't you got central heating? I've got mine on constant at the moment and I'm sitting here right next to a radiator. Expensive I know, but I'd rather be hungry than cold, so if it's a choice - then cosy and warm with baked beans it is.

Oh god. I've been logged in for 3 days and 57 minutes. That seems an awfully long time!

Ian,
I have no idea why but that just took me back years to when I was rather stopped in my tracks by the lyrics to a particular song. It made me get the LP and look at them. It was the visual quality of them that struck me. Many moons later the person who wrote the lyrics became a friend. I`ll type just one verse.
The keeper of the city keys
Puts shutters on the dreams.
I wait outside the pilgrim`s door
With insufficient schemes.
The black queen chants
The funeral march,
The cracked brass bells do ring;
To summon back the Fire Witch
To the court of the crimson king.
Well, you had to be there.....

I know those well, bought that album when I was a teenager. So you knew Peter Sinfield, or Ian McDonald (not sure which one of them wrote the lyrics)? They sort of resonate with a certain movement in British progressive rock with its own mythologies of a lost England suffused by the world of the medieval romance, though given a slightly occultist tinge. |

There were three green bottles hanging on the wall ..... alas I am going to have to drop off now. I have taken a `sleepy` tablet, otherwise I`ll never get there. Thanks for fun, pinkness and frivolity. Until next time, my fellow owls.  Mort |

I shall resist the impulse to start waxing lyrical as well. Night all. |

Ian,
It was PS. Brilliant company and conversation. He introduced me to Poulenc.
Hells bells, I`m going to have to play the CD now!

I could not find a good pijama for you, Morticia. However, there is one for your cat.  |

It's all so much easier for us chaps. One replacement pair of grey trousers and one replacement beige woolly from M&S on the nearest Saturday to 23 September each year. And that's it.

Ahh! That's alright then! Erm...perhaps we'll dispense from seeing you dressed the other way round, only there may be children watching.  |
