h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wanders into the rather deserted and lonely looking "Bikers Rest"...

Where did everybody go?

A loud 'hello' only results in an echoing 'o-o-o' from the dim recesses of the empty room

*comes bare-foot tip-toeing down the stairs from the private quarters wrapped up in a pink silk dressing gown with fake fur linings*



Sorry P_R, but I guess the 'Winter Blues' got me - again - I've been trying to hibernate, but I keep waking up..

*gives P_R a on her way towards the espresso machine*

*eyes it suspiciously and then turns to P_R*

Would you happen to remember how to operate this?

Why of course mi'lady, it's a for you if I recall...

* tries really hard not to have naughty thoughts about what is or isn't under the silky pink wrap*

*would slap P_R's wrist if she knew what he was thinking but then, of course, she's bound to have something inside the silk gown*

*the question is what*

Oh yes, a - how nice of you to remember!

*fascinatedly watching P_R fiddling with the device*

* A gurgling rumble emminates from the Esspresso machine, a quick thump to the side soon has it purring as it once did *

Here we go a for you, and a nice strong for me.

* Joins the delightful vision of loveliness in pink at a nearby table, thinking how lucky he is that she can't read minds - "Bet she'd slap me if she knew..." *

*sits on her yellow Sunburst chair, sipping while casting one of those piercing Flamenco glances at P_R, making him feel as if she can see right through him and actually read his thoughts*

*squirms uncomfortably under that withering gaze must stop blushing or she will know I'm thinking inappropriate things*

*wonders just how does a mere mortal win the of such an enchanting creature*

*crawls out from under the counter*

What is all the racket about? Can't a person kip in peace?

*jumps at the sudden appearance of a familiar face*
Uh, oh! Caerwyn how you dear? Didn't spot you napping down there.

*stops rubbing her eyes and has a look around*

Yay, Pond_Rat and Kristina! What are you guys doing up in the middle of the night?

*notices Kristina's wrap*

Ahhh, right. I'll just go and kip in the spare room then!

I'll just help myself to a first.

Don't worry Caerwyn, there's nothing going on here, just having a quiet cuppa with our hostess.

*secretly wishes that there was 'something' going on*

Happy New Year!!!



How was your festive season?

Hey there Bad come on in the is fresh.

The festive season was quietly pleasant (or should that be pleasantly quiet?) Lots of good food, (ham, pork, prawns, oysters, lobster etc) some great even some nice all shared with wonderful company in a marvelous climate.

*feels sorry for the northerners and their long cold winters *

How's yourself?

Had a shiny brilliant Crimble, thanks, BZ. Just some would have made it perfect. The weather was mild and damp.

I've come to the conclusion that the Festive Season should be hot and tropical or and .

I was in Darwin for New Year's Eve, and as the saying goes "It's not the heat...it's the humidity!"

Hey PR, me and the better half will be in Sydney around 28th Feb for the weekend - want to have a beer at the Australia Hotel at the Rocks (Scharer's Lager...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)?

There's actually a meet on at the Carlisle in Newtown that weekend, why not hop over to the 'Australian Researchers' page and check it out. We're expecting a visitor from old Blighty for this one.
Possibly a canberan, or maybe a melbournite???

Newtown is right next to where I'm staying....see ya at the Carlisle I'll be wearing my toy run shirt

erm...which conversation on the oz page?

Bad

*wakes up after having fallen asleep, yet again*

*gets up, disappers up the stairs into private quarters*

*returns after some time, wearing full Flamenco gear, and heads for the door*

*vanishes*

*wakes startled from a fitfull slumber*

*notices the sudden abscence of beautiul women in the immediate vacinty*

Damn she's gone again....

Whew, look at this dust! Guess I'm not the only one who's been absent for a while. Where's this beer mentioned above?
