You're probably better off with a rabbit (just). :D

Me and the missus are dragons (and, they say, 2 dragons together is bad news :o ).

The fourth Trine consists of the Rabbit, Goat, and Pig. These three signs are said to have a calm nature and somewhat reasonable approach; they seek aesthetic beauty and are artistic, well-mannered and compassionate, yet detached and resigned to their condition. The three are said to be caring, self-sacrificing, obliging, sensible, creative, empathetic, tactful, and prudent, but can also be naive, pedantic, insecure, selfish, indecisive, and pessimistic.

The first Trine consists of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey. These three signs are said to be intense and powerful individuals capable of great good, who make great leaders but are rather unpredictable. The three are said to be intelligent, magnanimous, charismatic, charming, authoritative, confident, eloquent, and artistic, but can also be manipulative, jealous, selfish, aggressive, vindictive, and deceitful.
Apparently Al her husband is a monkey. Just had a look back at 1963 and i am a Rabbit so the kid will be fine :thumbup: :lol:

Shutting down the up/down slow lines near Redhill as it would appear a bit is dangling off a train tripping our power off.

Too busy to ski - probably. But I’ve also done ‘something’ to my back so after physio yesterday I was advised to give even touring a miss for a couple of days :(

So, sitting in my favourite café afternoon drinking :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Physio again in the morning then a friend is taking me to the valley to go shopping (we’ll, really it’s so he can go to the pasty shop :lol: :lol: :lol:

Apparently this is a Jamaican Coffee. Don’t really care anymore about the name - there’s a ton of rum in it :angelic-green: :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

Having a BBQ for the kids at the donkey sanctuary Pen works at. All mid 20s.
All Spanish and Argentina
I was a bit left out until 10 mins ago.

They said they liked Sabbath so I played early stuff. The knew it. Played Fluff. Yeah
Then they asked if I liked Ozzy or Dio.

Then they chatted about Ummagumma. :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Apparently late 60s early 70s rock is cool over here :obscene-drinkingcheers:
They know everything I play.

Now all singing to CCR. Fortunate son

The party starts now :D

Sat in the Aydın eye hospital, where I got my eyes doctored 4 years ago. This time it's for the lovely M who will get her right eye operated on this afternoon.

None of this is good for me, with even one eye sorted she'll be able to see the ugly brute in her life properly and with the recently fitted new hip she'll be able to run away!

Sitting outside at the Temple Pub in Aydın with draft beer and waiting for a Belfast Snack to arrive.

M has had her second (and last) eye operated on but it's a bitter sweet moment - her dad died 2 years ago today and coming here we missed the funeral of an old friend who died in Ankara a few days ago but has been buried in the village today.

The bleed from my ear has had an affect on my hearing - which was going downhill anyway so it looks like a hearing aid will be on the cards. The music is at an acceptable level for me but I suspect it's actually quite loud.
