The Drop In and Say Hi Thread

Crikey I totally forgot it's Monday and a new PS week.

Mind you I couldn't get on yesterday, just kept seeing waves and feeling sea sick.

Finally got on in the end, but didn't have time to do much.

[Zoonie 0]

A gift from Novia, and for Zoonie, it couldn't be a better destination!

[inu-kijo 0]

back from b-fast!

oooh how was your safari Gill??

[Zoonie 0]

Just had our breakfast too, if I could go on a real life Safari again with IMOM, it'd be a dream!

Zoonie hasn't been on his ostrich ride yet

[inu-kijo 0]

I took pics of all the items on my facebook incase you care to see what tehy behold.

[inu-kijo 0]

Did BG ever post baby pics on here??/

[Zoonie 0]

I've dressed Zoonie in the clothes, and used the wallpaper, floor, tree and animals in his room, but then I had to go and cook and then ED called - she's been to Paris for a few days with her B/F - it's his birthday today. She rang, but is still in bed!

[Zoonie 0]

Sorry that was a bit brief, was multi-tasing.

How was your weekend Kijo?

[inu-kijo 0]

eh, my weekend was okay.
hoping for a better week this week.
I could use a little good news in my life.

[Zoonie 0]

keep in holding on Kijo. Am sure something will work out soon for you.

[inu-kijo 0]

me too. : /
Just realized that this weekend was supposed to be my graduating weekend......

hope all is well with you.

[Zoonie 0]

Aaaw.

OK I guess thanks, am fairly worn out, having people around constantly, living in chaos, and humping stuff from room to room to room, that's been pretty tiring. Am looking forward to getting back in to our own bed tonight - need to sort out the room first mind you.

ED has been telling me where they stayed in Paris
http://www.mamashelter.com/sleep

- needless to say they're both now absolutely stoney broke ... which isn't sounding good for the money they owe us

[inu-kijo 0]

wow..... looks incredibly nice there.

trying to put aside some money to have for a deposit to hopefully rent a small house soon.
the place I am staying at is becoming.... problematic.

[Zoonie 0]

Aaah, oh dear. Somewhere nice to stay would be a big plus.

The hotel was nice, perhaps not so nice as the site looks, and it's about 20 mins outside of Paris, but at least they had a break (am trying not to be jealous) They found food incredibly expensive, but then our exchange rate is so bad. I think they managed lots of gallery visits, including going twice to The Louvre.

We haven't been to Paris since the girls were very small.

[inu-kijo 0]

oh wow, the louvre... I bet that was great!!!!

[Zoonie 0]

You know, I can't remember all that much about it, except, the entrance, which is through that giant glass pyramid, and seeing both the Mona Lisa, which is tiny, and Leonardo's Cartoon, which is also very small and is kept inside a small circular curtained section, a bit like a round booth, under special dim lighting (well, it was when we went) IMOM isn't much of an art or culture lover, so he kept wanting to whizz round, whereas I wanted to take my time.
Oh and we saw the Venus de Milo as well

*am thinking back hard now lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_de_l%27Orangerie

My favourite visit was to the Musée de l'Orangerie, the two rooms with Monet water lilly murals (again IMOM was a bit bored)

[inu-kijo 0]

yes the Mona Lisa is much smaller than people realize.
the replica posters are larger than the actual painting.
(studies Da Vinci stuff in detail for like a year)

I love art stuff, so I bet its amazing! would spend days there.

time for me to go
have a nice day.

[Zoonie 0]

Thanks I'm off to set to with some serious tidying and decluttering of my study, which hasn't been touched for months and months.

See you soon x

Hello everyone

Hi Toni, likewise - it was a very busy weekend, and a busy week ahead for me too, the days are fair flying by!

Happy Birthday btw, will make sure I visit in PS today

[Agne 0]

That's ok
What are you doing in here?

[Zoonie 0]

We used to have a bit of a meet up around this time of day - it's my morning, as you can see (9.30) and I'm at home taking phone calls and answering emails etc.

Sometimes I'd catch Frannie and Armell at this time of day as they'd either be up very very late or up really early, depending on what their sleep patterns are, and Kijo, who works a night shift at a hotel audit.

Just lately though we all seem to have gone through a bit of a change of routine, so we keep missing each other.

What are you up to?

[Toulouse 0]

Hello

Quick one, think this will be the only post for now
Had surgery a couple of hours ago (part two)...
Am in much more pain then last time and not expected actually, was hoping it was as good as the previous time... Already took a painkiller, so waiting for it to kick in...

So, that's it for now

[Zoonie 0]

Perhaps you can rest some BG, sorry to hear it's more painful

[Zoonie 0]

Right got to press on and get some work done, see you later x

[inu-kijo 0]

Back from b-fast if anyone is still around.

[Toulouse 0]

I'm lurking, part of morning crew present
just finished watching Alice, won't be able to do much today

@ Gill, I'll rest, be sure of that, from the moment I knew when my exams were, I made a schedule and left this day completely open, knowing I won't be able to study

[inu-kijo 0]

Alice is an awesome movie!!!

saw that you changed your siggy to match mine again. : D
and isnt that the first avatar I ever made you??? whoot.
Hopefully you are well medicated after surgery. mine are starting to hurt a lot more, but keep putting it off.

[Toulouse 0]

Sure is!!! I enjoyed it, had high expectations, but had to ignore them, didn't want to get disappointed!

I think it's one of the first avvies/siggies, I had to dig deep to find this one again ;-) I looove this one (it's all purple-ish)

Well, he wondered to give me antibiotics. Then asked me if I got some last time, but didn't. So he didn't give me a thing now, only some good advice (like I knew from previous time). Just me and the pink pills today (painkillers)

[inu-kijo 0]

Sorry, got sidetracked. but time for me to go. will see you all later.

[Toulouse 0]

No problem, got sidetracked as well ;-)

Laters!

[Frannie 0]

Good evening.
Stopping by to say and hoping you all doing well

[Frannie 0]

Gets out the deep purple paint brush.... going to freshen the walls a bir.. hmmm peach colored chairs, you think?

[Bee1 0]

it's sunny here - would you believe it?
got messgase from Marie F last night at 9pm saying she was told me walk to try to get things moving. No more news since then yet so eagerly awaiting.

Hope you all doing well

[inu-kijo 0]

Morning Bee, will be heading out for b-fast in jsut a moment, hopefully will catch you when I return.

[Zoonie 0]

Morning, tonight's the night for Marie, right?

[Bee1 0]

Morning Kijo and Zoonie

no it was last night as they have re-schedule it on monday

[Zoonie 0]

Oh, right, I thought she said it was 2nd June - still things are changing anyway.

I'm all behind, how can that be so early in the day?

[Bee1 0]

She was originally booked in for wednesday but on monday she posted on FB that hospital called and she is now going on tuesday evening instead.

Have you had your morning cup yet?

[Zoonie 0]

Aaah I see.

Yesterday my internet was really patchy and I'm still struggling with all this work at home (I know it sounds ridiculous, you'd think I lived in a castle!)

I've had a mug of coffee, I think i just feel really bone weary and daunted by how much there is to do this week.

Yesterday I had a friend on the phone for HOURS (luckily I have a headset so I could carry on doing other tasks while I was listening) - she was feeling very sorry for herself indeed, and I think all that wore me out as well lol.

How are you Bee?

[Frannie 0]

did I hear coffee?

[Frannie 0]

runs and hugs her two friends Gill and Bee... you really DO exist!

[Zoonie 0]

(((FRANNIE LA FRAN))) mwah mwah mwah!!!

Coffee or champagne for this celebration xxx

at this time of day, coffee is the preferred beverage,

Hello Frannie



@Zoonie - I really feel for you! You must be so sick of living in "building site" and I bet you can't wait for it to finish.
As for you friends - I think you have wrong job - you should be a councellor (that way you get paid for listerning to people for hours)
