<t>The sixth of July is Saint Sexburga's Day. Was it Raven (who is sadly no longer apparently here) who ran an occasional series on Saints? I can't remember if this sixth century Abbess of Ely was covered. (If she was a Saint, I'm assuming she wasn't uncovered!) I have no idea ...

Was it liberating?

In a word, NO.

I bequeath this thread to Odie.

AussiePam

Shall this thread be closed?

I'd pen this thead a Rest In Peace

But how can something die that wasn't alive in the first place?

It's not even a zombie thread, the undead presumably once weren't, and this wasn't ever so it can't really not be ............

AussiePam

Exactamundo Theia and Bruv. Symptomatic really. Think I'll go to bed. G'night.

If this thread had a status, Zappy, I think it would be "tired".

AussiePam

Now I reinSTATUS'd it for the same reason.

I mean if we're gonna descend inevitably into banality, one might as well make it into an art form.

AussiePam

<t>I am without status and void, but POWERFUL nonetheless. Now I'm creating another thread. Sure nobody may come here, but wottheheck - Absolute power corrupts absolutely and I wish to be a really really bad influence. I shall now dance raucously and sing very madl...

AussiePam

That's almost too cool, AFTR! Just right for skidding giddily with onto the thin ice of this new Monday. Anything can happen.

AussiePam

I'm only occasionally here these days, mrsK. It's always good to see you. I hope you manage to rest up a bit in your break time. Glad I saw your bright yellow rose face anyway. Take care! And enjoy the grandkids.

<t>Thanks Kathy!! What a great looking swimming pool - just what Theia needs if she's going to take a splash behind the oak and the ash and the bonnie ivy tree. And that sunshine looks wonderful. It's freezing here this morning and a gal without any status on might risk frostbite. Maybe there's a br...

Is that a rather hyperactive blue elephant I see before me???

<t>G'day Peg!! Hope you're not in too much pain!!! My younger daughter did her ankle in jogging recently and is still on crutches. Yes, I think statuslessness is way cool. And I plan to stay this way. Also, I rather like the "I am: ..." bit. I'm going to leave that inscrutably blank. Aft...

Yes odie thank you

Chonsi: Here's David Munrow being fabulous!!!

AussiePam

G'day Cars and Happy Fourth of July.

AussiePam

<t>Thanks, Chonsi. I think so too. I am not a cat person - but I hafta say Horse is fantastic. Not cuddly, not cute, but full of in-your-face bad attitoood, and ready to rip off the face of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune ... How's your clarinet coming along? I got into a deep discussion...

AussiePam

"Horse" is the infamous cat from the New Zealand comic strip "Footrot Flats" - He is allegedly half shark (who knows which half?!). He shall be my avatar, for the moment.

AussiePam

I am: .... pencil

I think there is something in that for all of us!

Maybe I'll go get a new avatar!:sneaky:

AussiePam

<t>This is kind of nice, I think. I mean, Tombstone could have decreed that I had 'No style' or maybe 'no class' - but then I would've been forced to come after him and pelt him with Garden of Eden type apples (at very least). But 'no status' - that is filled without nuance, an empty slate, perhaps ...

AussiePam

Sorry to hear about your accident, Peg. I hope you're not in too much pain, and that you heel fast.

AussiePam

Hi Kaz - nice to see you again. Bright sunny Sunday here, but cold. I might still go to the beach. See you!

AussiePam

Really?! More moderators? Has there been some announcement????

AussiePam

Excellent, Tombstone. Thank you!

AussiePam

Awesome book. Great film !!!

AussiePam

It's 1 July here today - where has this year gone?!! Anyway - Happy 4 July to all American ForumGardeners!!!

AussiePam

Very nice, Cars!! Get your kix on Route 66!!!

AussiePam

Yes, I book everything on line: - flights, accommodation, walking trips etc. As others have said, you can often get awesome, last minute deals.

AussiePam

And a Happy Birthday from me too, Shelbell !

AussiePam

<t>Go Chonsi, that sounds fabulous. From Spot's tone, it would seem he thinks Australian Forum Gardeners are either too stupid or too uninformed to be aware of the lunar eclipse, and that if they are aware of it, they'd need his jollying along to make the effort to go and view it. He is ...

TGIF. I think this week has gone far enough. Tomorrow maybe something shall sparkle, maybe not. At least one can go to the beach.

AussiePam

<t>So are we farewelling you again, Fuzzy? I hope not. But then there's mischief afoot here and Cars and Theia are smiling at each other, conspiratorially. I know TEA will be involved somewhere, and there will be tears before bedtime. I might go and play on my vuvuzela in a dark corner somewhere ......

<r>Tombstone actually spoke to me - it was a bit of a Burning Bush experience, and my cheeks are still afire. But I got a kicking too, so maybe that's why I'm flamin in need of a good cup of tea, er coffee. For those of you who've been trying desperately to find your way in this new Prom...

AussiePam

Got it! Thanks.

AussiePam

Tombstone flattens Pam with a vuvzela blow to the blonde psyche, and Spot races in to add a few bovver-boy kicks. Grin. Ah the joys of playing in the Garden.

Thanks, Tombstone!!

... my biggest irritation is that as soon as one posts in a thread, the thread vanishes and you have to search for it. Before, the thread remained in Today's posts, no matter who posted last in it, until other threads nudge it off the screen. I'm writing this as a test.... tlw
