We will be there - this is your birthday singaround Mary, if I'm not mistaken.

Don't forget the hideobilea folks! Mary particularly collects religious items.................

Yes, well, I'm not yet brave enough to give Herself any such oddities. However Mary, I would consider relieving you of the headless object if you truly want it gone.

Hmmmmm...









You'd have room for a few more apple trees and someone could find you a cunning wee skunk cottage!

I'm working on driving down for the singaround. We have an all-day apple workshop the previous day, however, so we may be knackered.

Maeve,
I would be so grateful if you could give headless Jesus a home. I will even include his head which bears an uncanny resemblance to Peter Sousa.
Note to all: If anyone dares to bring anymore fruit trees onto my property, they will be banned for life or for the life of the tree.
This is NOT my birthday party. I will still be 50ish unlike the elderly Jacqui who is rushing me into my grave.
So...who else is in?

The simple non-religious gift will be tastefully wrapped in another useful gift. Just have to locate an elaborate bow to define it all.

Lots of good music next weekend between the Portsmouth shanty session on Saturday and Mary's on Sunday. But no time, alas, over the weekend to shovel out our house -- and the guest room in particular. I know there's a bed in there somewhere...

The last time Linn gave me a sensible gift wrapped in a sensible gift, it was a hundred gummy sharks in a hideous swimming pool chip bowl with an equally hideous bathing beauty in the center forming a chip bowl.
I do not collect anything but cat hair and dust.

Right, we have plenty of cat hair and dust at our house. Would you like it wrapped or in a gift bag?

Alas, you would schedule a concert on a Sunday during football season. I am now presented with a dilemma...watch my beloved Patriots cream (I hope) the Miami Dolphins or go to a cool concert.

OK, concert wins, but only if I can nip out and check the game every once in a while.

Know what you mean Ranger, England kick off in the Final of the rugby World Cup around the same time of the opening song in the Press room, I don't think anyone thought we had a hope in hell of making it, and we three, former players, well we will be at the Press Room, can anyone record it on your side of the pond? And take the copy to Sinsuls on Sunday?

Not sure that it will be shown over here, but if you know of a channel that will be showing it let me know and, if we can get that channel, I'll record it.

Well it's on Setanta, subscription, I think it can be downloaded on to a pc for a one off subscription, unless anyone is feeling particularly generous we will just have to bite our fingernails and watch the recordings when we get home.

I should probably mention that the Press Room is now offically smoke-free, with the possible exception of what happens when some of our singers burst forth in song!

Oh two granddaughters who visit and one too young and pulls the bits of the others Barbie then leave for us to pick up the pieces and none seem to fit anything, we had to leave the front room a week before we could Vac it to give us time to do a fingertip search for Shelly's arm which we didn't find. Hope that has cleared it up!

No Barbie parts (back in the late '60s I really wanted to dismember the Barbies owned by my sister, though!) but I've got a great doll's head (yes, just the head) that, when you push its nose says, "I LOVE you!" How's THAT for disgusting?!? But I won't part with it. (You're out of luck, Mary.)

Oh GOD! Here I am exhausted from my new job schedule and now have to deal with Barbie parts. Here's the deal - for every leg, I will trade one tiny nun; for every arm, 1/2 a tiny nun (so plan to trade sets); Or you can give all your parts to Charley Noble and be a pirate!

Weather for SE New Hampshire is predicted to be around 70 +/- F, w. clouds and maybe a shower on sat. AM. Shouldn't be much different in S. Portland. Bring layers to be on the safe side. Looking forward to Saturday and Sunday - Tom

Supposed to be good weather here with a chance of showers. Temps probably in the 60s F for the weekend. Weatherman last night called it 'September weather'.

Date: 18 Oct 07 - 12:21 PM

It's New England.

Pack as much variety as possible with the probability that whatever the forecast is, it will change, probably several times during the day and a difference of a mile or two can me totally different weather. Heck - different sides of a *building* cxan have different weather.

that said, chances are it will be nice - as they are usually a day behind upstate NY and we are having a nice day today with a better one predicted for tomorrow.

Peter-

We'll definitely be planning some outdoor activities for Monday. The weather looks great but a windbreaker/light boating jacket might be useful, maybe even a fleeze vest for the morning.

Tuesday looks a little more iffy, might rain, but there's lots to do.

Cheerily,

Barry....don't go near the cellar with Kendall. You might think that is singing going on down there.....but it's not. Jacqui you've got to feed the man once in a while....his howling especially about the Halloween season is becoming very disturbing.
Hope to see you this weekend if we can make the journey to Portland.
My mate let's me out once in a while to get some sunlight.
Looking forward to the Press Room after a session in Essex at noon today with the Sheets.
