Love Songs and Boogie-Woogie

Dear all,
This is a plea/request for help with music for D and N’s wedding. D is hoping for some CDs to be made that can be played while everyone is getting lushed/stoned/etc. What I need are ideas of good songs to dance to. I can think of a few but not 4 [...]

Dancing

If I weren’t so full of food I’d be dancing on the newly lain wooden ‘dance floor’ in our living room. It makes me so happy!
The men are downstairs polishing off the huge chinese banquet they brought home for dinner. We are celebrating the end of the days of dusty concrete floors with [...]

All around me madness

Seems like everybody’s gone screwy over the past few days - too many humpy moods for my liking. At least my own humpiness was not directed at people I care for. D has been rabid like I’ve never seen him before. Poor thing (…yet at the same time, get away from me!).

Many are the [...]

Biscuits and the RPA

I was foiled in my plans to make chocolate lime meringue pie by the lack of flour in the house – I’m slightly reeling from the fact that I had nearly all the ingredients needed. Perhaps it is a good thing and chocolate lime meringue pie would have been a tad too much for [...]

Shame

I’ve been holding back a tale - as Wedding Bells was getting so many comments - but I can hold it in no longer!
But first - I’ve had a very pleasant weekend. D and me got loads of house painting done and we watched three movies - two on DVD and one at the [...]
