I'm not sure about 'Siren Song,' Silva. As I recall, the Siren's job description was something about luring likely looking sailors on to the rocks so that their boats were wrecked.
I don't remember what they did with the likely looking sailors.
Had their wicked way with them perhaps?
mmmmm..............maybe 'Siren's Song' isn't such a bad idea after all. Let me think about it.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Sorry to disappoint you but Nursie has not been misplaced at all. I happen to know that she is residing in GreyQueen's understair cupboard with Henri d'Vac.
An unlikely coupling, I know, but you know what they say......."There's a lid for every pot." Or in this case, "There's a Nursie for every French dirt suckerupper."I believe that friends are quiet angels

Oh good, I was a bit worried that she may have absconded while GQ was cleaning her new-to-her bicyclette, but as long as you're sure she is still safely tucked away that's OK.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

I think I'll pack a freezer box with my latest discovery for you all to sample *thinks* this should guarantee my place on board.
How about nutmeg icecream?!? If I need to up the stakes I could run to apple tarte tatin with nutmeg icecream?!
Oh, and as my 'plus one', I nominate my caribbean friend - tall dark and handsome with a voice like soft velvet and a very chivalrous manner. Shiver me timbers, indeed!
I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room, the excitment is just too much for me :rotfl:I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance.0 -

MMF, please slap a 'RESERVED' notice on your friend. He's mine.
It's not raining. The wind isn't blowing. The sun isn't shining. It's not bitterly cold. It's not over-warm.
That's the weather dealt with.
No plans for today except for cooking a nice lunch. For me. Because I'm worth it.
Can you tell that I am struggling for something to say?
I'll let you all get on with your interesting lives.
THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY
