I just have to decide if I should wait until the wind dies down some, so I can stand up AND hold the lawn trimmer at the same time.
pff, it's not nearly so much fun that way. so what did you decide ?

And some brilliant person put the icepacks in the bottom drawer of the freezer where I CAN'T REACH NOW!!! *pathetic sniff* Darn, I feel dumb. On the bright side, the codeine I was prescribed a stack of 2 years ago is slowly getting used up... there, isn't that Pollyanna-ish of me? <--- not that i can DO that atm!
ouille ! i sympathise with you, that's miserable. i hope you feel better soon.

Look at those. What memories of driving convertibles over the winding roads of the Riviera, with a pretty girl with the wind in her hair. Ah, le gout tres douce de la jounesse. The sweet taste of youth. Sobbing noises of nostalgia.

They came out in the late 50's and originally they were made in suede. Cars did not have sync gears yet, so one had to make fancy ballets with the feet. Double clutch, point-and-heel, .. The little bumps on the back were to avoid the slipping of the foot (mostly the right foot) on the floor, often cluttered by sand or little pebbles. Quite normal after a day on the beach.

The top in fancy driving was to brake with the left foot while keeping the revs up, like the crazy pilots of the time.

Here is a movie of those days that can give an idea of the whole thing.

Of course this has nothing to do with me personally. I just learned this from the tales of the old men in the family. My father in law had a Maserati 3500 and if gently prodded he will tell endless tales about those times, like yesterday night when I drove him home he told me episodes of the Mille Miglia of 1964 won by Ascari, that he went to see in Piacenza just before the bridge, covering himself behind a big tree. He came for the festung of Little Daughter that went very well thank you. We feasted him for his birthday also. 79 and he wears them very well, thank you.
wow, all that from a few little nubbins ! thanks beppe ! but florence, be careful, you might get a prune for walking in driving shoes ! i hope you have your permit...

oh sheehs, i know. i can do the most hair-raising stuff with no worries, but whenever i injure myself it's when i'm carrying groceries or something incredibly boring like that. i once cracked a rib ; how did i do *that*, you ask, expecting to hear some wild story of motorcycles or trapezes ? you'd be disappointed, because i'd be forced to admit i did it coughing.

So it looks like I'll have some blessed quiet at least for a few days. Then, of course, the suspense... how noisy will the next tenants be?
oooh, suspense ! good luck, i hope you get a couple of nice old people up there. they're the best !

I don't know what they think of my music. They're probably too old to appreciate Plastic Bertand on constant repeat.

i think definitely the rotating thing he's got on his top has some real horse power. at the very least.

I can turn it up. I bought it from this guy called Hotblack Desiato, and he says it goes all the way up to eleventy-hundred-and-eleventy.

But I'll dance The Froog while listening to Time Warp if you'd prefer (they totally sync up).

Cheers,
Marc

Well, I must admit my knowledge of his genius is limited to "Ca plane pour moi". Which was fun, once or twice, but... I dunno. It was nice to dance to though

Sounds about right! (Even if it was only twenty!)

You'll appreciate him more when you listen to Ca plane pour moi 23 hours a day, two of them while sleeping. It's the only way to fly!

I like you rich dollarites: only twenty!

I have great news about the pinguin diet. It works. I lost one full size in soutiene-gorge (US sizes). It is the only thing I measure.
