70! Blimey!

Peace and love, folks. Peace and love.

Happy birthday, Ringo!

Believe it or not, but a lot of the "top drummer of all time" lists consider Ringo to be one of the top drummers of all time.

I'll go with "not".

Ringo Starr/Richard Starkey...the drummer in The Beatles. A link to "Drumming ability and appreciation" at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_S...d_appreciation

For what it's worth, I'd like to be, under the sea, in an Octopus's Garden, in the shade...preferably listening to my equal favourite (with Norwegian Wood) song by The Beatles, A Day In The Life (song mentioned in Wikipedia link).

Cheers,
Marc

Oh!
"The British Infestation"
That's the band with that guy Lennon whose screwball wife hired some nutbag to gun him down, right?

Nope. Don't listen to that stuff.
I grew up with polka music and my mom's old Sun Records 45s.
Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.
The Man in Black and The King.

Packing!

Leaving on a jet plane in the morning

My boys (Mr M and bloke) will have to look after each other. Blue and Pink Kitty jammies are on the line drying in this cold wind just waiting to go in the suitcase.

I hate sitting still for 4+ hours, and then 7+ hours in the truck! My car arse (herniated lumbar spine) is going to play up again. And no yoga!

And no boys

Even though its more than 30°C in the Northern Territory (yay I can thaw out!), its cold inside with the bluddy aircon on, so flannelette pjs are required.

At least my reader will keep me company on the plane(I loaded a stack of books on it). Do I have to put it in that thick travel case? I wonder if it will be ok with its normal leather cover on?

Maybe I can leave the Nintendo at home? or not ?

So much to do, so much time to waste in MobileRead.

Would a doughnut help? Not the food, which always helps, but those rubber blow-up things they give you for broken coccyx and such?

I heard Alice Springs had a top temperature of six-point-something Celcius the other day. You headed into the more desert-y areas, or staying in the tropic regions?

Cheers,
Marc

SneakySnake · 07-08-2010, 12:50 AM

Not the desert. Arnhem Land. Roper River. It has just started getting cold in the early morning. A bit like here I have seen it get down as low as 8-10°, but warms up to 30*° by lunch time. I think they mean cold at the moment like freezing 20°.
Darwin tommorrow out to dinner with friends husband Friday night, then in the truck Saturday for the trek to woop woop. I am looking forward to coffee break in Katherine.

I hope that...

- The reader provides you with much happy
- The reader SURVIVES (big hard case GOOD idea)
- Your arse copes OK with alternating sitting still and bouncing a lot for half a day (EEEK!)
- Your jammies keep you nice and warm
- Your other clothes keep you nice and cool
and
- Your boys manage to avoid burning or knocking down the house

MWAH. Have as much fun as is humanly possible!

EVIL EVIL MAN.

Boss will get me Darrell Lea Cherry Liqueur choccies, Cointreau and red wine as bribe. (I will buy with her money hehe

)

recluse · 07-08-2010, 01:06 AM

You can't go, Sneaky!
I'll miss you!
Who's gonna send me dirty messages?
Who's gonna tell me about their underwear? Or lack thereof?

I'm gonna go sulk....

Their truffles and paralines...delicious! Did you also notice the catwalk-llama (alpaca) on the front page? I think that's Diesel, one of a few they have - he's a nuzzler and "pet" and has to be kept out of the house.

Cheers,
Marc
