Tea?

[MikeG]

.......hi mikey top job on the house whens the house warming

Hey, Olonerider.....

Thanks. I'll do some better photos soon, when I've put the kitchen cabinet doors on. Housewarming? I'd probably better finish it first, then we'll make a plan for a party. There's lots of mess to make before then.

Morning Maverick Goose, Classic. And, in best radio 1 voice, everyone else who knows me.

*least I tried for it to be a nice friendly post*

See Y'all later

Now the roof is on, how about about a "topping party" then?

.........More Radio Two missen, unless you mean RTE..........

I haven't listened to anything except Radio 4 for about 20 years now, other than a quick flick over to R2 when The Archers is on. I was just remembering the "everyone else who knows me" thing from my youth.

Καλημέρα σας (that means 'good morning everyone')
I've just been enjoying the sunshine and exploring new coastal walks the last couple of days. The weather is fab and the forecast for the next 5 days is for constant sunshine and even hotter temps..

I've also been enjoying talking in Greek with the apartment owner he answers me in English so I know he understands me and I hope I will get better at the Greek this way.
I'm also working on the translation and Greek singing of a song I heard a very elderly Greek sing in the Irish bar on Tuesday. Researching the song has been interesting as it's from a genre know as Laiki/Laiko which is a form of Greek urban folk music. The song is thought to have developed in a Greek/Italian population in Cairo over the last 100 years or so and was recorded in the 1950's when is became popular across Europe. It will add another layer to the range of my Greek songs so I'm quite excited about it. Since the 1950's it's been altered/used by a wide range of musicians - even Jimmy Page did a short version of it in a live set!
This is the song

Very pretty brickwork. I love your kitchen plate rack, that's lovely.
I see we have the same taste in beds. Yours is identical to ours

Mine looks very similar too!

Yes - but he's a pest!!!

 

[Motobecane]

A couple of PMs have.........erm...........enlightened me....... as to the nature of the new regime in the tea room, without being able to shed any light on the reasoning behind it. I dunno, you turn your back on a place for 5 minutes (well, OK, 16 months), and when you get back you find someone has trashed all the furniture.

You were here long before I joined in (that was October I think). But I can't stop posting the earring pictures! I'm committed to a photo with a different pair of earrings every day for a year (366 days as its a leap year)!

Check out 'Ya mustafa' on Wiki

"The influential British folk-blues guitarist Davy Graham did his own instrumental jazzy version of the song on his album Folk, Blues and Beyond (1964, bonus track re-issued 2002). A short version of this was played live by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in a BBC session, called "White Summer/Black Mountainside" (Led Zeppelin Remasters 1). Page's recording and acoustic style generally was heavily influenced by Davy Graham's work."

Is someone checking that you don't sneak a pair in for a second time? I would be amazed if, between my wife and 2 daughters, they could find a total of 10% of the number of earrings you are proposing to show us.

I only have 3 pairs of earrings. I'd get rumbled by the end of week one

I'm doing it so I don't go over. Been better but it'd be a simple mistake that may not be accepted as genuine.
Just over a month ago I didn't have to worry about limits. Now I do, it's the easy way for me.

If you ask nice enough, and provide the measurements, he might make you a plate holder as a moving in present!

That would be super fabby but I am not sure that I have enough room in the kitchen. I will see when I get there and might well offer to purchase one. It's a fabulous bit of furniture.
