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

i unnerstood all that 'cept for "NCIS" - not bad fer an old geezer, eh?


if we could speed up time, then we'd be able to hear the rhythm of the dance between the sun and it's children

instead, we just see them glide gracefully round in slo-mo - tracing a complex braid as the solar system sashays though space

but i guess, for those of us with a microscopic lifespan, it's enough to know that the dance exists


some folk sing, whilst they're dancing - and the sun is no exception**:

I'll click your link later, Hiccup is asleep on the sofa. I am going to give her a prod soon but not before I've read the paper and had a bit of a here

Nearly the weekend, do you have any plans as well as band practise

>>> "Nearly the weekend, do you have any plans as well as band practise"

i like that quote, something like: "life - what happens to you whilst you're busy making other plans"


so... i guess 'other plans' this weekend are a return match with the jun.. i mean treasures which need to be returned to the attic at my mum's house, now that she's had a chance to sort it into keepers and losers

practising the 30 or so new songs is pretty much going to dominate my world for the remaining two weeks before the gig


hope you guys have a neat time this weekend

have fun - be

Blimey that is a lot of songs

and another date with the attic, don't envy you that.

Will you be putting nearly as much back up as you took down, when it coes to loft clearing I manage to sort out losers but then replace them with 'new keepers' mostly collected from the spare room which is considered tidy when there is a clear route to open the window and the piles of things are only waist high

the attic last week wasn't as bad as i'd thought, so returning stuff tomorrow should be ok

but i know what you mean about a 'clear' room having at least a waist-high passage to the window - maybe i should do something about my room, i can only get to the bed now 'cause the ladder end is nearest the door - and the bed is well above waist-high!



completely unrelated to anything said or done here, i'm going to take a bit of a hootoo holiday now

if i *wasn't* intending to drop in from time to time on an irregular basis then i'd be smudging this digital ink with tearful 'goodbyes' and 'thankyous' now - so please interpret the fact that this is written with only my usual illegibility to mean that i will drop in from time to time to say hi and check that someone's been watering the cactus for me

so, please don't reply to this - i won't get to see it, to respond, until i'm back in this neck of the galaxy and i wouldn't want hootoo friends to think that i've ignored any of their posts

see you downstream, sister!

Just in case you haven't logged out yet, good luck with the gig

and

take care, enjoy your holiday and hopefully see you soon in this neck of the galaxy soon

for the journey

Wonders if there is a chance of a postcard
