G'Day

Aww! Morning Cliff, it's almost time to go to bed on this side of the world

'Morning all.

I'm lodging an official protest over this bloody cyclone Yasi. What is this, pick on Queensland Year or something?

Weather Gods - You. Are.Not.Funny.

Now rack off and bother some other place. We've had enough of you up here!

*I can't believe I used 'rack off'! I must be channeling my inner bogan, circa 1983! Has to be inner, 'coz I've never had an outer bogan. Still, how disturbing.*

Have a question for you... Not sure whether this is the right place or not but I'll ask anyway. What's a derogatory name for granny or old person? I need it for my novel

Morning to you too Luna I know how bad the weather in AUS is as my friends are over there, enjoying their honey moon... They are in Tasmania at the moment, don't know when their flight to Queensland is due...

Males - old fogey, old codger,

Females - old bat, battleaxe, old hag, - insert 'dried up' as a preface if she is particularly humourless.

I'm all out. I don't spend much time insulting the aged I'm afraid. maybe I should look into it.

I quite like, "Dried-up old prune."

Not that I've ever said that to anyone, but it has a nice ring to it, IMO.

Thanks guys, I like your recommendations, I'm going to add it now

You're welcome.

...

Who wants some booze? I'm buying!

*raises hand* geez all we ever talk about in here is the weather and booze!

Mooorning! Too early for booze, I'll go for a coffee instead, single shot

I'll be having a coffee once I've finished this glass of Scotch and Coke.

*makes Lauretta a coffee, and MissM a frozen margarita*

I've just had an idea!

Bourbon with Italian Soda! I love both to pieces, so maybe mixing them would give me the best drink I've ever had?

Now, I just need to find out how to get a hold of some Italian Soda for private use... the only place I know of where I can buy some is the coffee shop, and you can't really take that stuff home.

G&T for me please Cliff.

MM- we're aussies, what else is worthy of conversation?

Meanwhile, I have put up six new scene ideas on the whiteboard for the UF - and I haven't even read back through the first draft yet lol!

*hands out everyone's drinks*

If it weren't for the fact that I'd have to deal with drunk strangers all night, I'd consider being a bartender.

Thanks for the coffee

Why not?

I can't take it home because it comes in cups that can't be sealed, and I take the bus. One rule on the bus is that you're not meant to have drinks that can't be sealed.

And anyway, that'd only do me for 1 drink, which would hardly make it worth the effort of sneaking it onto the bus.

No, I need to find bottled Italian Sodas in stores somewhere...

Tomorrow when I go into the coffee shop, I'll ask them about it. And maybe try to find out why they're so much better than ordinary sodas.

Am I too late for a drink? I'll have whatever's going.

This heat sure is something else isn't it? and the flies?

Oh god, the flies! Why hasn't mankind figured out a way to make flies extinct yet? They are without a doubt the animals most deserving of extinction. Annoying little bastards.

I hope the heat goes away on Friday. I have to work again then, and yesterday was utterly unbearable. I must've looked a right mess, trying to serve customers.

I had a bus driver come in, sweat on his forehead, looking like he had just run a race. When he came to the register his first words were, "Boy, it's hot out there! But look who I'm talking to - you look as bad as I do."

Gee, thanks bus guy. *headdesk*

*pours tarkine a nice cool beer*

Ahhh... that beer just hit the spot..

Goodnight Australia!

GoodMorning OZ

Moorning! Bring me coffee! And a shrubbery! Anyone else feeling annoyed this morning? I blaming the heat

*passes MM a double shot coffee*

Make mine a frappe. Effing filthy heat up here already, and humid! I hate Yasi.

*sighs*

I have an overwhelming urge to get stuck into the UF but haven't finished the porNoWriMo project.

I'm a Libra, and am now paralysed by indecision. Some one please shove me one way or the other so i can get something done today!

Thanks L. I needed that.

my vote is for porNoWriMo.

Tell me now, is this an editing day, or a writing the second book day?

It should probably be and editing day. Sigh.

And where did my shrubbery go?

lol

Oops! Sorry.

*pushes shrubbery into place*

I do believe you are going to do a spot of editing, then go and play with the Shiny New One.

Just as I have decided to write a scene of the UF this morning, then go and finish the smut chapter this afternoon.

It dawned on me that I was dawdling in the PNWM project because my mind wants to spit out this UF scene. So I shall combine the two, I'll be more productive that way - I can easily write the wordage I have been dragging out for the smut in half a day, if my mind is on the job.

Which it hasn't been.

LunaFancy - prolific and productive today, that's me.
