Monday is going pretty well, thanks. Just deciding what to do with the last few hours of it. Should I draw, paint, melt wax crayons in the oven or make melodious music?
Glad to hear that. The last few hours of it? You still have over eight and a half hours left of Monday. Ah, doesn’t freedom feel good? I vote for making melodious music. You were gonna write a song for your audience some time back. 😊
Music. *feels disappointed* I’m looking forward to inking detailed vignettes of each member of the Inky Fambly. I got a new drawring book for my birthday. And new pens! *starts to feel excited*
I know clams are happy, but l didn’t know kippers were giddy. 😉 Just out of curiosity, do you externalise your excitement? In other words, if I were observing you right now, would I see that expressed in your face, posture and movements?
No, you only misinterpret me occasionally. 😊
Well – there are no walls in the off … oh, wait – you mean THAT kind of wall! 🙂 Idiomatically speaking – that’s not done. Not really. Climbing the wall – yes. Bounding off of the walls – yes. But not jumping off. That would refer to the kind of (brick (usually)) wall on the boundary of someone’s land.
Probably.
And so – no – there is no extreme reaction. 🙂
Haha, is someone making fun of my use of English? I meant bouncing off the walls, of course. I must’ve mixed it up with jumping off a cliff. 😉
I don’t know whether I’m easy to read or not (my body language, I mean). I think I am, but I could be wrong.
Hmm … explaining why something is funny is your specialty, not mine, but I’ll give it a shot. It was funny because I mixed up two idioms that have completely different meanings. The humour lies in the incongruity.
English idiom that means nothing. Similar to ‘there ain’t nobody here but us chickens’ but slightly around the corner.
Sleepy time for me now. Have to be up a little earlier. Which reminds me – I have to change my alarm. 🙂
Goodnight. Tomorrow awaits. Hope your evening is … hey, that’s something – I have no idea how you fill your evenings. Care to share?
Hahaha – that was one sick-puppy of a movie. I’m pretty sure not all US citizens are secret banjo players. So, were you in a band? Like that girl in American Pie? The one he ended up (spoiler alert) marrying?
This is the part where I generally take a right-turn in the conversation – usually on two wheels. But I’m feeling rather sedate at the moment, so this is the best I can do:
So, how are your bits and bobs, Dee? 🙂
Hahaha – here was a fair bit on Monty Python there, certainly.
If you want to see me (well, not me really) on the dance floor look up the videos for Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads and Rock Lobster by the B52s. Then you will laugh! 😀
Okay, here’s the thing – I haven’t had a coffee since, like, almost forever! I don’t think it’s good for me and I don’t like to give people stuff that I wouldn’t have myself. Like I would never cook you a steak. Etc.
Everytime you do this to me. Always 😥😥😥
You are not a friend….. Now make another cup of tea and cover it with a plate. When I go to UK, I’ll have it.
DON’T…. DON’T DRINK IT
Seriously? I have to leave a cup of tea on my desk, covered by a plate for the next several years?! *astonished face*
You sure I can’t just make you one when you arrive. It might be a little hotter. 🙂
I expect you will bring a sword so that you can defend it from me.
Backing across the room, swishing your sword whilst sipping the tea delicately, an approving smile on your face (because it will taste so nice).
