In my bescrumpied state I was not too sure who it was that was on my knee !! I vaguely recall that on several occasions betwixt polkas, reels, line dances and stuffed tongues that both knees were entertaining comely bottoms and bum rolls. I think I met Lorna Doone from 'ereabouts ... 'cause I recall at one stage when I was sitting down and the room was still someone saying something like "he's as limp as Lorna you know" and at another time there was a sciencey discourse between my aching knees about the efficacy of some potion that was to make Africans dizzy. Well what I surely know was that I was quite dizzy and quite often it seems . . . . I do know that there was much dancing simply because the hairs of my soles is quite worn thin, my bunions are aching and have many splinters in them, and the tops of my feet have been much abused and look like they have been repeatedly stabbed with bodkins. I have woken up in a bed (eeee luxury) not just the truckle or the corner by the fire, and on a feather mattress too (eeee real luxury) - so the sore feet don't matter a tad, nor does the sore head. But I can not fathom why I have some red feathers stuck to my lips ... I have heard (but not experienced) that too much (is there such a thing) drink can leave one's mouth feeling like a parrot's cage but I feel fine if so what light headed and famished ... So I bounce out of bed, only to impale my poor feet on some shiny brass buttons that I last saw adorning the Governor's wisket (that would be waistcoat) ... and so with much hobbling I go in search of the kitchen and food (except the goal seems extraordinarily quite ... not even a mouse is stirring ... maybe in my light headed state it just feels like morning) On 23/12/2012 17:57, Joan in Colorado wrote: > Lorna, so glad you found the bottle we left.
