  2. Orange juice was not scheduled for Fridays. ~ The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
  3. I've got The Rosie Effect on Kindle, but I haven't got very far through yet, I haven't been doing much reading, what with one thing and another But what I've read so far is equally as good as The Rosie Project. The Mapp and Lucia series and The Diary of a Provincial Lady are quite old-fashioned books, but very funny in an often acidly witty way. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved them
  4. Words (Between the Lines of Age) ~ Neil Young
  5. Some started to titter, an old lady shook her knitting needle at him disapprovingly and a small boy said 'Ummmmm .....you're not supposed to use cell phones on a plane. I'm telling!!' in a most annoying fashion. Carlina had had enough, 'The rest of you might not speak French, but I do! We've got a hi-jacker on board! Come on Dex!' and grabbing the old woman's knitting needle, she stormed towards the cockpit. 'Grab my handbag Dex, it's got a heavy book in it, you can ...........
  6. 'It is I, Etienne de Nogood speakings. Leesten very carefully, I vill say ziss only vonce. I vill come down your main passage and you vill put all your valuables in my leetle duffel bag. Are zere any questions?' Everyone started speaking at once, 'What's he saying?', 'We don't speak French!', 'You'll have to speak in English', 'What's he going to do down our back passage??', 'Why can't he say it again?'
  7. I'll Stay Here ~ Tantric

I miss you darling,' a little girl voice wheedled over the phone. 'Not now, Trixie, I'm ......
  9. had encountered a slight travel hiccup. Some exceptionally inconsiderate passenger had decided to hi-jack the plane and they were now all winging their way to ........

So packing up the left-over cake and a few .....
  13. want you to feel like we're deserting you, so if you like, you can join us on our travels. Carlina and Dex have invited us all to join them in Jamaica for a holiday! What do you say Itsme?'
  14. we've got some good news for you. Today our visas came through, so we're all legal now. We can go on with our travel plans and leave you in peace. It's been so kind of you to have us all here, we really do appreciate your generosity.' Itsme was ....
  15. Any Colour You Like ~ Pink Floyd
  16. Hot and humid. I managed to get sunburnt down one arm driving for 30 minutes yesterday, with the window down.
  17. enquire if there was any tea in the pot. He was promptly told to go and sit down, put his feet up and was duly presented with a steaming mug of tea and a large slice of Lumberjack Cake. 'It's a new recipe, we haven't tried it before. What do you think?' they enquired.
  18. You Can Leave Your Hat On ~ Joe Cocker (so sad to hear the news about Joe ....will miss his wonderful, unique raspy voice )
