Blow me down what a windy day here, Doris must be in town.

Jimbuna · 02-23-17, 08:33 AM

Aye, Doris has certainly come calling here up north!!

Aktungbby · 02-23-17, 01:38 PM

Frost on the ground this AM but no rain today (As in the last 4 days: more expected on Saturday) so: clad in my 'This is not Minnesota shorts & sandals :

I'm off upvalley to pick up a few remaining bottles of a local winery's 98-rated 2013 Zinfandel my wife favors mightily. Six bottles or so should go well with any BBQ's! Thank god for a 'club' price!

Our 'Open Mic' performance Sunday has paid off: This coming Saturday we've been asked to open for another local band at a club. it will be our first real show, involving two sets and all sixteen songs in our current repertoire. The following Wednesday we'll be sharing a night with another local band who want to play more shared shows with us, this one at a club frequented by other owners looking for acts to book.

I haven't posted anything on my FaceBook page yet because nothing has been officially posted by the clubs themselves.

Take Doris to court.

Another working week over and I am shagged out, oh to be in my 20's again full of energy and life.

I always bung my mechanic guy a bonus and he always looks out for me; he charged me less than cost for that replacement wing mirror, then fitted it for free. He also twice let me leave the old car in his shop until the Boston Glass guys could come and replace the smashed rear window, vacuuming it out for me afterwards at no charge.

Spent the whole day recovering, and I'm still not recovered. Last night the new band played our first real gig, with a real soundman, a real crowd and it was great! We opened for another band, and played only one cover among all our own originals. We got some great compliments and had a great time. Then again, I'm biased. We're doing it again Wednesday, with another band taking the first half of the show.

As for now, tonight is the first night in a week that I'll be in bed before 0200.

^ That is some healthy exhaustion!

Must have been great, wish we could hear you and your band

STEED · 02-27-17, 08:00 AM

Raining here not much of a chance to get out for a walk. Oh well looks like a mug of coffee and a good book to read.

Aktungbby · 02-27-17, 11:14 AM

No doubt the Queen has a similar problem: 'Reigning here not much chance to get for a walk....''

Quote:

An ex-guardsman spoke with U.K's The Timesthis week and opened up about how he mistook Her Majesty for an intruder on the royal property.
According to the guard, the Queen sometimes struggles to sleep, and thus, she'll put on a jacket and take a walk around the palace grounds in the wee hours of the morning. However, one day, around 3 a.m. the guard saw a peculiar figure walking through the darkness while he was on patrol inside the palace walls.
He said he shouted, "Who's that?" And to his surprise, he discovered it was the Queen. In a fit of relief, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Bloody hell, Your Majesty, I nearly shot you!"
After realizing he spoke out of turn, he waited to be scolded. However, he said the Queen simply replied, "That's quite all right. Next time I'll ring through beforehand so you don't have to shoot me."

Not long took a call from a PPI claims company and explained I'd made a previous claim but failed only to be informed there had been a recent court ruling stating the bank I dealt with all those years ago had been found guilty of failing to take previous claimants seriously.

So it all begins again.
