[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Hi all!

I was in a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur during Chinese New Year a couple of years ago and the guy came up to us and asked if we wanted to see the line dance.

"Seen it before," we said. "A bunch of people dancing in lines."

Well he persuaded us to go out and see the... LION dance. This is an actual photo I took at the time (no flashguns allowed)

That is GORGEOUS!! Thanks so much for sharing, Dee. I'm a cat person through and through.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Great! Thanks Wildcat.

Nom Nom Nom...

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Woo-hoo! It's Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Morning Hippie. So glad to hear you're feeling better. There's plenty of hot lemon and whisky left if you need it...

Oh no! Dee's scoffed it all :>)

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Dee! I missed you. So sorry. I put extra whiskey in yours!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

/me makes Hippie a steaming mug of lemonade (with a dash of whiskey)

Get well soon!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Morning everyone! Happy Tuesday!

My machine decided not to receive any e-mails yesterday so I missed all your nice replies. Don't you love technology?

Hugs to all!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Morning valerie. Monday again, but you and Hippie are here to brighten it up!

Huggggggs all round

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Happy anniversary Dee and Jen! I didn't go to the party, but I wish them both much happiness.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Sounds bad Celestial. We're all thinking of you.

RAIN!!!

We got rain last night.

/me dances

We woke up at about 1:00AM to the sound of thunder.  Some light hale, but nothing much.  And RAIN!  Maybe 1/4 inch (6 mm) in all but it is the first rain we have had since early February.

[ETA]

I looked it up.  The rain last night was officially 0.09 inches bringing the year to day precipitation to 0.16 inches total. Needless to say we are a little below average so far

You can have some of ours. It's been chucking it down all week here in NJ

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Hi valerie. Hugs to you.

I've never spleeped, but I'll willingly give it a try. It sounds like fun!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

/me wakes up on the sofa and gazes bleakly at Dee.

I knew I shouldn't have had that third bottle glass of gin...

I don't think it happened, either on the 6th or on Friday the 13th (which would have been my choice had I had one). There is evidence that either it did not happen or that it did and as soon as this the groom has returned to his oft-commented upon faithless behavior. In fact, he may even be dating someone from this very thread, who describes said date so beautifully here:

Dating a Kittycat

With any luck she saw the light before it was too late.

Morning all Huggggggs.

And thanks for a fun day Hippie!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Hiya Wildcat. Come join us in the sun.

(I'm in Philly right now and it's rather damp).

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Wow dee. Hang on tight!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

/me moves over and welcomes valerie into the boat.

Got your life jacket?

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Woo hoo!

/me puts on my summer dress, grabs my parasol and heads for the water!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

I think it needs some marmite spreading on...

Kippers

confits

Great name Dee! We could start a business. IHOKP - the International House of Kippered Pancakes.

We'll make a fortune.

:smileysurprised: Maple sirup with seafood??? Lol, that's worth a try! :smileyvery-happy:

Sounds a bit fishy to me...

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

If it's  breakfast it's gotta be kippers, Hippie!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

No time for a gossip right now Dee, 'cos I'm working. But the short answer is, lots of work, but very satisfying results. And we love the house and the neighbourhood.

And we've got space to let the sons and grandchildren visit. Yay!
