Precisely that. The peppers will save the day.

Strangely the only Good Life gifs I can find are of Margo and Jerry.

I genuinely really would like one.

And I don’t like the way you’re playing with my emotions. Making up these fab designs then refusing to follow through!! 😫🤣

I had a couple of ideas that 100% you’ll have thought of too, so I’m stepping back respectfully.

Yes. A train. Going like the proverbial bullet.

It’s been a blast. From start to finish. I’m stoney broke now though.

And yes, it is like another world. For a start, it’s 10° warmer there than it is here.

Do you make a point of only listening to CDs that colour code with the room you’re in?

Surely you don’t redecorate each time you buy a new CD to listen to.

‘Very strange’.

Currently en route, hurtling towards said sticks.

I’ve got them lined up for each Monday already, with a spare coz one or two are quite likely to be picked by someone else!

It’s Monday. I don’t know about you but I agree with Prince Buster.

(Let the sheer vitality and enthusiasm of the performance override the dubious audio quality)

That’s what I meant.

But I had my knuckles rapped. 🤣

I think she’s more like a kindly Joyce Grenfell: “Alistair, don’t do that.”

Ah, but those flowing libations loosened you up nicely!
Holding court most entertainingly, there was a worrying moment when you almost even broke into song. Japanese song, no less!

What a brilliant song this is.

But now I’ll have to cross it off my list. D’oh.

AizuYabanjin @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social · 12h

🤫 don’t call her that!

There’s another one to cross off my list. 😭
An all-time fave of mine, that little gem.

AizuYabanjin @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social · 12h

It’s been a great weekend, but so busy I’ve not had time to give anyone’s posts proper attention. Apologies.

This will soon change, as I return to my uneventful slow life in the sticks today.

Yes, I was rather expecting them to do a bit more! By the looks on some of their faces, I think they felt a tad underused.

I thought you’d be tempted. I hope that, applied appropriately, it will help you sing and play guitar like that.

Sorry about the lack of interaction. I’ve been in Tokyo for the weekend and it’s been full on. I barely have had time to even tap on the ‘like’ button!

Back home today. Stand by!

Remarkably, this is true. Even the ‘perpetual tea’ didn’t flow for long.

AizuYabanjin @aizuyabanjin.bsky.social · 1d

No blame needed! An excellent choice.

Ah yes. That was lined up for BDDDB Day, so it definitely counts when another contributor is tasteful enough to post in my stead.

I might have done, but @arqandtheclouds.bsky.social almost certainly has too.

I’m not remotely religious, but, yeah, Sunday seemed appropriate for this one.

Great pick. Great pic.
