The Reiki Cafe 

Salut ponderings and Dia duit jaguar.

Irish Mist, along with Glayva and Hebridean Liqueur, is indeed a decent drink, although, I must confess, a little too sweet for my taste.

One of my greatest pleasures is to be sat in front of my log stove with the wind howling outside and the rain battering the windows, with no lights on, watching the flames dance in the stove and listening to the clock quietly ticking, a glass of malt or good blend with a drop of pure spring water added!!

Heaven!!

A bientot cherie et slan go foille jaguar,

Brian.

P.S. ponderings, check out the new pics in my gallery

you're so right, jaguar.....me hubby straightened me out.
What beautiful photos, Brian. First one took my breath away. And what is your best friend's name, if I may ask? Just a pup? Sure is gorgeous....and I bet....good company. Thanks for directing me to your gallery.

His full Kennel Club name is Lilymere Brackenwater but he is know and loved by us as Floyd.

He is a 12 year old pup, a Hungarian Viszla and is an absolute treasure and a wonderful companion.

The poor old lad went through the mill last week, having to have 7 teeth removed but he recovered well and by the third day after his op, was his normal bouncy self.

Yes that first picture is of Rum and Eigg taken from Glenuig Harbour as dusk was falling and the birch, well, that is the tree for my birthday.

Glad you liked them.

A bientot,

Brian

Salut mon frere. Ca va bien chez toi? Et la belle Marianne?

Weeeeeeeeellllllllll. I've just checked my world time clock and it can be far from sundowner time for y'all.

Bagl.

Good to hear y'all got back safe and sound - just a shame you weren't here longer.

The Kachina doll is already starting to work his magic, but I'll tell you all about that in my next email.

Well, work tomorrow (sigh) so bedtime for me.

Nos da, oiche mhaith and goodnight (for now) (my time),

- did you not get my E-mail from this morning? If not, then our connections need sorting out again

- yes, surely not enough days for our stay with you - but it was great joy the time we had

- glad about the kachina (eager to hear more details)

- so, sleep well, dream well, be well!!

Howdy doody!

No nothing has arrived up to now. I checked my bulk folder in case, for some unexplicable reason, it had ended up there, but nothing at all.

Looks like the gremlins are at work again!!.

A Brian, a chara,

Dear ponderings,

Did you mean Canadian Mist?

namaste,
Michael

dear ponderings,

.. yeha..it's not really a whiskey. Kindof like the Irish version of southern comfort or yukon jack. Too sweet ; numbs the intellect and constitution. I've yet to meet an Irish person that was interested in it.

Namaste,
Michael

Aie, now are you talking about the Irish Mist or the Canadian Mist (which I haven't experienced)??? Or perhaps pulling my leg with your shovel??!!! Namaste, Michael...this has been so much fun! Welcome home, Firekeeper! You've been missed, cookie....if you've looked at the beginning of this thread...we were looking for YOU! So glad that you all had such a wonderful time......so much fun reading all of these words that I do not understand....but still enjoy! Whoosh! I love all of this globe trotting! I'd like to be taken along next time, please....

ponderings,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- cookie???

- a piece of baklava, perhaps!

bagl, bagl

- and thanks for the welcome back!

Ponderings,

You said, in part, "I'd like to be taken along next time, please."

I would just like to say, should you ever be over here on this soggy little island off the coast of Europe, bean mo chroi and I would be honoured to welcome you and our home would be your home.

whoosh....now, you're ruffling feathers, cookie...for me honey & I are both very Irish.....even if not in the straits....and we've introduced Irish Mist to many a folk with lots of pleasure.....so watch out!!!!! Got my dukes up, now! ("numbs the intellect & constitution", ha! Perhaps, you'd prefer chess places at high noon......with my husband, of course...he's the brain in our connection...ha! Having fun here......you little turkey!!!!!

Cookie....as in sweet, crumbly, delectable....such that you'd not desire to live without.....and I should've said that that last post was meant for Atari or Michael...the little twerp...got me back up!

So good to hear your voice, Firekeeper....you were truly missed. You're very welcome!

and Brian....you took my breath away....with your glorious & generous offer....I'll be keeping it in my heart & dreaming on it....for quite the while. Perhaps, I might extend the invite....if you should ever choose to be near Saugatuck, Michigan.....we have a small guest room....but would love to make you & yours comfortable! I love it!!!!! Hoot, hoot, hoot!!!! (me...dancing....around)

A Brian, a chara,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

Aaye!!

- if the pixies ever figure out how to get the stopper out of that Poit Dubh???????

- of course, you may have already accounted for that with a sealing spell (but it did not keep me out - thank you so much!!)

I agree concerning the Bagl....and love your dropping purple face!

and thanks for the running purple face, Brian.....what's a Gonzo!?! Now, I know I'm in deep doo doo!

Hey ponderings,

welcome to the club!!

I am ALWAYS in the doodoo - its just the depth that varies - some times it's just galoshes, others its full diving gear!!

Bagl

Well now, first of all, apologies for the delay in replying but things have been a bit hectic this side of the Pond but the answer to your query is as follows;

Gonzo or the Great Gonzo, to give him his correct title, is a character created by Jim Henson for the Muppet Show. Some say that he, Gonzo, that is, looks a little like a turkey.

Bagl, bagl, bagl.

A bientot, cherie,

Brian

A Peadar, a chara,

Aaye!!

Hocus pocus, dont be frisky,
keep the stopper in that whiskey.

Well, you've got to build in exceptions in your spells!!!!!!!

Bagl, bagl, bagl.
