What are you doing right now?

[Beardy]

Well according to Dr Beardy (Mrs) I'm trying to solve all of BTs problems before my holiday (which officially started 1hr 12m ago)

[Polar Bear]

Stuck opposite a right pair of middle aged brexidiot Daily Hate readers with over three hours between Taunton and Mordor.

To make matters worse she is wearing that cheap perfume which smells vile and you can taste it.

What have I done to deserve this I wonder?

What the Germans call Nuttendiesel - whore-diesel. Whorehouse diesel sounds better.

[Polar Bear]

Indeed.

It's making my throat dry now and my eyes water.

Only 1 3/4 hours to go.   

[T42]

When I worked in Stuttgart we had a woman in Marketing who wore Dior Poison.  You could tell if she'd been in a room two hours after she left it.

[Polar Bear]

And breathe ... :   thumbsup:

[T42]

Then you get home and the missus sniffs and says "who have you been with?"

[Beardy]

Trying to decide if an 80s night (for a friends 50th) is a joyful trip down memory lane or a painful reminder of an awkward youth.

[Basil]

I went to an eighties night.  It was awful. 
I thought they meant eighties music.  Not the age of the punters.

[T42]

Hunting through camera menus for date/time setting. Some of them do it automatically, others need to be told that summer time is in force, others ignore it so you have to adjust it yourself.  Maybe I should set them all to UTC & to hell with it.

Other than that I'm waiting for the temperature to get up to non-life-threatening levels, and hoping that by the time it has there'll still be the odd patisserie open.

mllePB was with me for the entire endurance.  I think if I smelled of whorediesel she'd be justified on so many levels in kicking me out.

A former client liked her perfume though to be fair it was a very pleasant and expensive smelling one. She is a 'toucher' and I did worry that I might have picked up the fragrance but nothing was said.

*boggles*

Barakta regularly comes home smelling of Other People's Stuff due to using trains, sleeping in beds, borrowing shampoo, being smoked at or whatever.  I just tell her when she smells (her nose is rubbish and she isn't always aware of it herself) and to go and have a bath.  It's not like I don't come home reeking of Eau de Audaxer from time to time.

1) Packing.  This is slightly unusual as I tend to leave such activities until a few hours before departure.  At the time of writing, I have over half a day until I leave. 

2) Worrying.  Tomorrow evening I start an intense week (and a bit) of singing.  This afternoon I noticed my throat was feeling a bit sore. 

[T42]

Drinking my third mug of tea and eating a croissant prior to going for a ride.

[Polar Bear]

Snotting.  Yes, the bear has caught a bug.   

[Si S]

Trying to decide if I really want to ride in that wind.

[mcshroom]

Trying to encourage myself out the door for a ride in that wind, after working out how to sing this for this evening's Vigil service: -


This notation is stupid, and the way they've separated it out makes it even harder to read. Give me either Gregorian or proper musical notation any day.

That pretty much exactly depicts my objection to church music - the inability to pick a note and stick to it.

That is horrid.  I think you need some of this and a pencil. 

ETA:  And another vote for proper notation.

The Inlaw Paw did: same one for every hymn he ever sang, all the way through.

Meanwhile, yrs trly is basking in the afterglow of effort and chocolate bickies while his quads solidify.

He could have joined forces with my mother who sings at the pace she thinks it should be sung, regardless of how dirgy the pianist/organist plays. Mind you, when she played the piano, everyone had to keep up or she won.

[Thing2]

A couple of our friends had a full church wedding, which was over and done by (including sermon - 7 seconds, and signing the register) in 25 minutes. That was impressive, but the 7 verses of all things bright and beautiful were taken at light speed - no one could keep up!

[mcshroom]

Well it went ok. I don't have to do that silly line again for another 385 days
