Surprize! I'm here cos Colly mentioned to me that I don't visit very often. Presuming it's virtual, I'll have a Tangueray and Schweppes, please. (Really at work, so no one need mind me.)

6??!! How do you keep them straight in your head? I had 4 running at the same time a while ago. I had to circular file one of them cuz my brain was going into meltdown whenever I tried to work on one of them.

Hi Perdy, nice to see you here. Its a good place to work actually. I have a regular table in the corner, perfect for writing, people-watching, or just snoozing.........like now.
I won't give up, I never do, I just can't get my sleep-deprived head in gear, so rather than write gibberish, I'm not even going to bother tonight.
Tomorrow, there's always tomorrow.
I'm almost as good as Colly (don't be silly, of course I'm joking), I have 6 stories. I, however, being mortal, can only work on one at a time. (She is just going to HATE me for saying that.)
Mat
PS, Perdy, I am currently listening to an album made by Anne Sofie Von Otter, in collaboration with Elvis Costello. An unlikely pairing I know, but incredibly good listening. Called 'For the Stars'. I watched a tv doc about the making of the album, and had to get it. Its been on my 'chill out' list for quite a while. Fave track? 'Like An Angel Passing through my room'.

The cahracters from each are just speaking to me now and I am trying as hard as I can to get all they have to say down before they go silent on me

Don't see how you could be any sexier, but show up with a good baked tater & you might just get attacked

I need an island vacation or just a beach house on a remote shore where I can be lulled by the sound of the waves.
I want to walk on the beach in water up to my ankles while a breeze blows through my hair and there is no sound other than the ocean, the birds and my thoughts.
I want to hear the occasional ship's horn off in the distance as I sit on the deck and watch the sun set while sipping my coffee.
I want to curl up in a soft feather bed, the window open and the night air sweeping away any thoughts of nonsense that invade my brain.
I want to wake up the next day and do it all over again.

Can't speak for anyone but myself, but...even if you're at work...how could we *not* mind you? (Especially if you're at work and making you chuckle or grin might be more of a challenge.<g>)
<slipping over to fix a drink, just in case the bartender is busy or you've already finished the first one>
I don't really care for gin, but will have a screwdriver with you...if that's alright, that is...

I know that song...or at least that phrase. They use that as the main part of the chorus in an ABBA song.
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room
Is that the same song? I always loved it. Will have to look into checking the other out. (For Elvis Costello's involvement as well, have almost all of his albums.)
