Gin please but hold the tonic, ice and lemon (I neither have need of quinine, watered down drinks or cures for scurvy!)

I was looking at the trees outside and thought it appropriate.

By "do-over" I don't mean a "DO over" - I'm no Martha Stewart (where did she go, btw?) I meant some spit 'n polish. Smell the polish? Never mind what I used the spit on......

sorry, njoyjade, i missed your post.
glad you like the ambience
do you play the piano? it has a dead key but that just makes for more interesting renditions

yeah, knocks the cold off mat need to start a fire

what wood makes the prettiest blaze? the one that burns cerise and blue at its heart, red-gold over brown-black at its edges, with wispy pale grey curls of ash that flake and crumble at a touch.

 

[HarryHill]

*struggles into jacket, rushes out the door*
I'll be back later dunno how much later

 

[butters]

bye, harry

 

[butters]

*hops over bar and pours a bourbon - takes it over to the piano, sits, blows the dust off, and strokes a few keys.

sips

wonders when it was last tuned, but continues to coax small runs of notes, chords, from patient strings*

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Drags older sister into the bar (the one who got given piano lessons ........ Haaaa ..... ) but at least someone who can play!
