Tango 'til they're sore.
That sounds a bit .
A story I read on Smash about dancing the tango ... while doing other things.
boiling potatoes perhaps?
how dare you. I cook the potatoes properly, I don't use SMASH! Bad wolf, I shall smack your nose.
ugh at Smash! smack me and I will bit you back!
Shepherds Pie - like I'm cooking now. Properly. All from scratch!
Custard Pie, and The Rover (love that Jimmy Page riff and chord progression)
Lemon meringue pie. Fluffy and creamy with a sharp tang to it.
Tang? The Ming Dynasty was much more interesting; better porcelain, not so auspicious poetry though.
Oh for auspicious poetry, let's go to the Floating World.
whatever floats your boat dear.
LOL, Night Boat to Cairo. Madness.
I love that song, it's so silly.
Slow Boat To China

Ah. And here we hit a slight snag.
Described in one of the books I was reading at the time was a 'T'ang horse'.
The writer went on to describe it is some detail (most of which I can no longer remember,; it was thirty years ago).
Quite by chance I happened to be in a 'Stately home' house in Yorkshire and there were several glass cabinets with some of the collection of jade and other oriental stuff which was fascinating. Then I saw it.
I knew what it was before I read the label. A T'ang horse.
It was beautiful.
It made my day.
HP, that was such a lovely story that I shall forgive you skipping me (and Ogg). I feel like that when I unexpectedly see a Samuel Palmer painting.
I was in one of the Parisian galleries once, too, when I heard a voice behind me say: "There she is!" It was an American accent and when I turned round I saw an elderly couple approaching one of Degas's bronze statues of a young ballet dancer. Their faces were lit up with pleasure - as if they had bumped into an old friend and a thing of beauty combined. I had a vision of them going all round Europe, perhaps the world, seeking out Degas's lovely dancers together.
LOL, I guess so.
Lap dancer.
