Kneel before Laura! Snow and S&M, oops that's S&F.

[dozzer19]

So, I awoke to find snow covering the block. Undeterred, I donned the ninja suit, blue mask today - and headed out. A bit slippery underfoot so some of the S&F was toned down today - didn't want fall and have my secret identity uncovered, the little hut was very useful.

Nobody has found my two bricks yet. This is a relief because I don't want to have to keep bringing them from behind Grandad's shed. He also might start nattering and asking why I hadn't brought Dodgers and a flask. Pah, so much for a disguise!

Guess what? We have a second ocarina! Oldfloss has volunteered to to join A Mum in the marching band. We do need a majorette though.

Off for now, think of ways you can offer yourself to the cause, eg, a third ocarina, or would that be asking too much?

[poppypug Graduate]

Errrmmmm, please may I offer my services as a mean triangle player ?

Oooh yes it was very treacherous over the Pennines today, I thought we were all going to have to get off the bus and give it a push .

Hey, whats up with Nanna for the majorette ? You cant leave her out, Doz ..... xxx

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Good point. Is her vision up to it though - I'd hate her to break those new fancy varifocals from Specsavers.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

I will walk alongside her with my triangle ... xxx

I may be wrong, but isn't Madge50 an ocarina player, or has all that blowing gone to my head? Snow bad up in God's Own this morning -my 83year old mum (Ancient AncientMum) not happy!!

[Madge50 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

No AM, I brought the hula hoop, wouldn't know one end of an ocarina from the other.......I could try the tambourine.......

Mx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to Madge50]

Oh that's right, I remember now! Damn, who was the other ocarina player??? Perhaps they'll 'fess up now Dozz is back

[poppypug Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Was it an ocarina or was it a harp ? A harp seems to ring a bell with me ( ha ha , not literally of course ) xxx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Irishprincess brought her harp to the party (I think) but my ancient brain is convinced that there was another ocarina. Maybe I just over did it on the Screen at the time xx

[poppypug Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Ive found the other ocarina player !

lizziebeth57 ! Has been known to play a tune or two if asked nicely xxx

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Woo hoo. I knew there was another one!! Well done Pops, the Ocarina Orchestra is a distinct possibility xx

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Of course, Irish Princess plucked a wonderous version of O Fortuna by Orff. (Check the translation before assuming I'm bein lewd.)

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Are you sure ? I thought it was the banjo ? xxx

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

I wish 😏. Aeons ago my teacher suggested I learn to play the cello. Why I have no clue and I wasn't that keen tbh. But then my mum saw me practising (just picture the required pose without the required instrument) and said " it's not very ladylike". 'Nuff said 😂

Not sure a cello would be practical with the marching.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

No, it seems new member to orchestra is Oldfloss. Could this be a trio? With tambourine accompaniments?

[Ullyrunner Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

I could definitely manage a tambourine- that's all they would let me play in the band at first school. What I really wanted was the drums or the xylophone....

[runswithdogs Graduate]

I would offer to join the marching band, but after a sad C25k+ stamina attempt perhaps I will just lay prostrate on the ground while Caesar passes.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to runswithdogs]

I'm sure admin officer pug will pick you up and bring you along in the shopping trolley.

[poppypug Graduate]

Of course ! All part of the service xxx
