#Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for#

Tonight, a rare blue moon. A blue moon is when a full moon occurs twice in a month, or something like that, not because it's blue.
Don't know what it's got to do with the song but I do like listening to Ella sing it. :cool:

OG, you can't fool me into thinking you are just an 'oul romantic! It won't wash.

OldGoat

I like romance. If the ladies want to buy me flowers and chocolates then who am I to complain?
(Carnations are my favourite, the scented ones that are so hard to find these days. I wear them as boutineers)

Ramette

This is the 2nd full moon this month, when there is a second full moon in a month it is always called a Blue Moon.
I am looking forward to Alice's moon dance tonight, it will be spectacular:D
I think I saw Rube polishing his binoculars earlier (or at least i think they were a pair of binoculars:p)

Rubecula

I was polishing soup spoons ..... honestly

Alice1

Oh my dance was just mahvellous my dears. Positively mahvellous!

Alice I believe OG has had to take to the cot as he was overwhelmed by your interpretive moondance.

1st September... this year has flown, i have heard it said that as you get older time goes quicker, if that is true I must be ageing at a fair lick!

A box of Milk Tray and a posy of scented carnies are in the post to you OG!

looksee

Lick!

Jellybaby1

Heh heh heh!

Chucken

We have a tradition that we pick the apples on September 1st and do some baking. Went out this morning all happy only to find them all eaten by sluggy things
They were fine a few days ago!! :mad:

Jellybaby1

I feel your pain Chuckie. If it wasn't for Dunnes, Tesco and Superquinn, we would have starved this year due to sluggies! :mad:

P.S. 'Ere a sign of blackberries yet?

Chucken

I got a grand total of 12 tomatoes from the garden this year!! Thats it..nothing else

I havent seen any blackberries yet but no doubt they'll be gobbled up by the sluggy things too.


*** Ramette*** will be happy to hear MUNSTER won the rugby this evening

Ramette

Munster were playing??? Is it that time of year again when there will be rugby on every weekend?

policarp

What's wrong with that?

Chucken

Ah our Rammy doesnt like the rugby too much.

So...boys and girls, Dallas is back tonight at 10pm on TV3, I'm really looking forward to it

OldGoat

Chucken, how is you non-smoking going? Or is that question best swept under the flower pot with all the ciggy butts?

Chucken

Operation "I dont smoke" is going great

I rarely even think of cigarettes now, its brilliant.

Going on hols next week, that'll be the real test!!

Ramette

Congrats Chucken, that is a fantastic achievement...
OG how is the abstinence from the alcoholic beverage coming along?

And Dallas is back????? dear god... i suppose i will have to watch it now!

Jellybaby1

Well done Chuckie, keep it up! Dallas? I suppose I will have to record it just to see what's going on up at 'oul Southfork, minus the shoulder pads of course. What's the betting 'oul JR is just waking up from a deep sleep, now in old age, and was dreaming of Kristin!

JR may be aging - but you'd wanna see the face on S'wellin'. Yikes, that woman is 71....

Nine months into it now, 3 months to go. I'm contemplating asking Nurse to put an old tin tub in my room so I can brew up a batch of bathtub gin.

Chucken

Well done OG

Ok ladies, did ye watch Dallas? I thought it was great, it was like it was never gone.

Jellybaby1

I watched about 75% of Dallas. I fell asleep! I'm the one who's changed.

Yep, nothing much has changed at the ranch. I wasn't fooled by JR being in that home for the bewildered. He's still dangerous. Bobby looks pretty good but obviously not really, maybe he just wants to see how it goes and if it doesn't go well he will just 'die'. As for S'wellin, she sure is carrying a lorra polyfilla. Ray still lookin' fit, ain't he half-a-Ewing too? Poor Lucy, YIKES!! Didn't see that portrait of 'ol Jock over the mantelpiece.....have they moved it to the attic I wonder? And the youngsters........meh!

Have a feeling I might watch it next week. No really, I'm allowed, 'cos I don't watch Eastenders, Corrie, Emmerdale etc., etc.

Rubecula

Well done to Chucken and OG you are my hero's of the moment. Keep it up, I am right behind you ... (although not to close behind you if you have been sampling Chucken's methane producing soup)

Dallas? I am lost already. The first series was only on the tv to allow me to switch it off and do the garden I think. And it has never been any different.

I truly HATE that glossy American stuff. ( I won't call it rubbish even if I think it is, as I am sure it is easy entertainment for folks who like stuff they can watch without thinking about it to much.)

do the girls still have them shoulder pads on

Jellybaby1

No, but I am sure I saw S'wellin in a pair of bell-bottoms. Didja see the height of those shoes the wimmin are wearing? Oh my giddy aunt!

P.S. Forgot to slap OG on the back for keeping off the juice. (Whack!) Well done me 'oul flower!

OldGoat

Aww thit! You justh senth my teeth thailing atross the thable!

Jellybaby1

Thit!? Ahhhhh, now I get it. Naughty boy!
