GAHH!

I am the first to admit that someone should award me an honorary PhD in procrastination, but for the first time in my life my storytelling has been thwarted by my good behaviour.

I am unable to recall a single incident when I have shagged or snogged anyone wearing glasses*.

I've had to put my old sunglasses onto a handpuppet to work out logistics. And, naturally, that required another handpuppet on the other hand to keep the proportions right. Let me just say that I am glad the window in this room opens onto the garden. You would not believe the time it took!

And you thought the ukulele would be the acme of my ridiculousness this week ...**




* Surely I must have, but a taxi to the head is a powerful remover of random snoggage recollection!
** 10 notes! Three chords! Two songs!

ahh, my girl and I both wear glasses all the time but usually they come off before anything gets very far.
Mind you we are both boring and so rarely get up to anything without being on the bed so there is a bedside table right there to conveniently hold the glasses safe.

Would love to see the puppet show *g*

And congrats on the ukulele! I have a friend in Canberra who just bought one and is learning too.
I don't think my left hand would be up to it.

Oh and just wanted to check you got the books back.

I did! And I loved the little drawing! Thank you!

I have done a few puppet shows over the years and usually have more focus on the scripts than on the actual puppeting. Now I feel I should do another one because I have finally worked out puppet love scenes!

And I am finding the Uke reasonably easy on the hands. There are a lot of bar chords available to make things easier (I think that's what they're called), or you can string it in reverse and play it with your right hand doing the fingering. Only 4 strings, so it's not hard!

And thank you, too, for the glasses input based on facts rather than not wholly sensible methodology!
