Merry Summer Solstice!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

My daughter has finished her A-levels today, so a few of her friends are going to join the missus and I drinking champagne (well before I switch to beer!) in the garden. Until a later time than I thought!

Double celebration!

Has everyone got their Xmas lists ready? :innocent:

It's raining here at the moment so it feels later than it is!

But my source warned me it would be like this today...

It has been a very loooong day, due to my tiredness of a hectic week, but hey hey...

Merry Summer Soltstice to the northern hemisphere! :notworthy:

;D

I feel like I should be dancing out in the woods around a bonfire, or something. Too bad I'd get arrested for that here in Chicago...not that there *are* any woods here in the city, but you know what I mean! :lol:

As Mr Gallagher put it so eloquently ;

You could wait for a lifetime

To spend your days in the sunshine

You might as well do the white line

Cos when it comes on top . . .



You gotta make it happen!


For once the sun is out, the flat roof isn't leaking and I've finalised my trip to Vegas/ San Francisco for October (I May take in watching some bods chucking themselves off the Golden gate bridge)
