Have a wonderful evening!
I've just watched the Graham Hill: Driven program on BBC2. It was amazing to see a photo of my aunt with him, it could have been my mum or my sister, they are all so similar. Her F1 finance died in a crash as far as I know otherwise I may have got to meet these people!One small step for ME, one giant leap for my family!

Glad to hear you're out socialising KC,
Z - you are fab, those pics are just brilliant.
I agree about chimp rather than baboon, but I like chimps & cant bear baboons - as Homer J once said "... the dirtiest stinkiest animal in the jungle"
I'd like an oran utang really, how cuddly are those arms

But baboons are really loveable - they wear their heart on their...never mind...

Glad to see that you managed to get a good sleep..it really does help.Hope you had a good time at your games nght.
Z..absolutely love those photos and your sense of humour..you always make me smile.0 -
I like orang utans best too - I had a chat with an adolescent one in London Zoo one day
my only experience of baboons was on a foot crossing at Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe into Zambia - the rucksack of choice for women there is a cardboard box, and a baboon jumped onto a woman's back and started tearing at the box. Thats the sort of thing that makes people not fond of baboons!
Yesterday evening was good! Not the best, but good all the same - I'm the one who brings the wine, and my policy of spending the same and finding a reduced rate bottle is working well
this one was v nice.
I have ebay traumas this morning. I have to get my niece out of bed to weigh something, if she'll pick the phone up, I have to find a box to send that sewing machine in, I have to find a postage rate for the thingy thats got to be weighed, and I've got to find out if a low rate offer after an auction has closed is legal or not in ebay terms - does anybody know :question: I'll head over to the ebay board in a bit.
I also have to contact the dratted mattress company - they want to come along this week, which is good of them of course, but I'm loathing the idea of it.....
Off to get brekkie, anyway.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Weird ... my bit of the mse forums is *really* quiet today .... well, anyway, I've done 2 hours work, arranged a meet with a rep from the company who made the mattress that I hate, put the w/m on and its drying, wrapped the ebay parcel, tried (and failed so far) to sort the quote for one other ebay item, done some tidying willy nilly after disrupting the whole house in search of ebay perfection

I've also been trying on the jeans :Done pair fits me well enough to go out in the evening, one pair fits me well enough to be "fitting" and still be able to move around on the floor.
And I tried on The Dress - its *really* easy to wear, flows beautifully - I'm a bit worried that it ends mid-calf, as one of the Rules of Dressing I've recently read say a hem shouldn't be at the fattest part of you ... and midcalf is definitely that. OTOH, its lovely, and even tho I'll need a strapless bra, or a halterneck or something, I don't care. I think I might buy a jersey something from Joe Brown for the evening tho - something more the "normal" style I'd like to have
:D:D 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
So glad that you found some jeans to fit you, and that after all the trauma of getting it, you are happy with the dress. Will you wear it with a shrug or a pashmina?

:hello::hello::hello: since its still only April, I think I'll probably try for a jacket, one thats nipped in at the waist or just down to the waist...
And yes, you sound like you know about clothes :j
Still a little bit quiet in my neck of the woods now.... is it paranoia when they really are out to get you :eek:2023: the year I get to buy a car0
