[Mamyalynne]

Oh DT an ode for a lonely fairy please.

[TonyV]

Hi all - just droping by to say hi and wishing you all a happy new year

[petal54]

may one ask what DT's wearing around the middle?

[Mamyalynne]

Long time no see Tony ♥

[grasscarp]

Well petal, as well as leaving it is cool water until the burning stops, then either aloe vera (if you have the plant break a leaf and spread the gel) or nungates suggestion of lavender oil. I like the sound of the lavender oil and will get some in soon. Life is not worth living if you cant sink a few sherries or glasses of whatever every now and then. Reality can be a bit grim at times. .... as I take another sip of vino.

[nungate]

possibly a tartan cummerbund

[grasscarp]

Looks to me like a string of bullets. Maybe the evening is going to get nasty!

[Mamyalynne]

DTcrosswordfan - if those are dum dums round your middle, they were banned under the Geneva convention.

The host mamya is out Atsgran, busy answering a quiz question. She is such a flibbertygibbit, but at least her place is full of seasonal goodies.

Throughout New Year's Eve I watched them there,
AB Snow-fairies falling, falling from the sky,
Whirling fantastic in the Petal air,
Contending fierce for space-cadet supremacy.
And they flew down a Naomi force at night,
As though in AB heaven there was nungate and riot,
And they, frail things had taken sibton flight
Down to the AB earth seeking LieinKing and quiet.
Our Ed went to bed and rose at early dawn
To see them huddled together as DTC sheep,
Each merged into the other upon the carpy lawn,
Worn out by the Mrs Overalls , fast asleep.
The sun shone brightly on them the polar-bear day,
By night they stealthily had venator'ed away.



And suddenly our thoughts then turned to Mamya, yes you
Who came to us upon a Castle winter's night,
When snow-sprites round your attic window flew,
Your hair disheveled, eyes aglow with light.
Your heart was like the weather when you came,
The wanton Alex winds were blowing loud and long;
But you, with joy and passion all aflame,
You danced and sang a lilting summer song.
You made room for the angels in your little bed,
Took covers from the closet fresh and warm,
A downful pillow for their scented heads,
And they lay down with you resting in their arms.
You went with the Dawn (who is she). You left us ere the New Year Day,
The lonely actors of a dreamy AB play.

ten minutes for that...phew.
