CD. Vinyl is more of a nostalgia thing in the end.

Plant perennials or annuals?

Visit the wilderness of Africa. Not a swimmer to diving ain't for me and I love wildlife, of which Africa has plenty. Including GORILLAS!!!! YAY!!!!

WYR ride a horse or ride a bike?

Wow. The boards are active enough to push this thread on to the second page of the New Posts. Actually, we have a second page now, which was not always the case.

Good morning from a rather moist Southern Ontario. Not complaining. I put some new plants down yesterday so saves me watering them.

How are you all doing?

Coffee of the day is La Chicas Yellow Catuai Dark Roast.

Teas are English Breakfast and Raspberry.

Washed the cold drink pitchers and made fresh unsweet iced tea and lemonade. Sodas are stocked up.

Hot water is ready for other teas and hot chocolate.

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend!!

Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin

Jack

Either, really, given how long it has been since I've been to either, but probably a movie since I can do that at home

Learn a martial art or learn a non-martial form of exercise?

Ahead lies our next destination.

Sold - Gold

Yakety-Yak - The Coasters

Angel Shark (which are physically similar to wobbegongs but not really closely related)

YAY !! Another comp! I was wondering when there would be another one.

Wonder no more!! Spend that wondering time writing!!

😊

And while I am committed to this comp, I am finding this a real uphill battle. I thought writing for a comp would help me focus things and get my writing back on track but, dang it, I'm still having trouble getting past the first few hundred words. Basically I start a story but can't get past the opening. Latest attempt is past 1000 words, though, so maybe I have this licked now.

Yellowbellied Sapsucker

(I remember being very amused by this bird's name as a kid but I forget why. Might have been a joke about it in a cartoon or something.)

Quote by Cora
I enjoy drinking loose leaf teas best.

Ditto. I have a local shop that has fantastic selection and good prices. Then there's David's Tea, which is a national company that sells through shops of their own (though a financial crisis a few years ago forced them to scale back the chain severely) and in Canadian grocery stores. And online, of course. David's sells the Buddha's Blend that I mentioned.

Quote by Cora
I told her my favorite was white tea.

I don't drink much white and I am not really sure why. I do have a favourite called Buddha's Blend that combines white and jasmine green with some hibiscus. Don't shop at the place that sells it much anymore, though, so haven't had it in a while.

Trying out a new (number four!!) comp idea. This one might have some legs. We shall see.

Good morning!! Sunny day here. Spring is definitely sprung and, in fact, our temps are too high (we hit a record for the end of April the other day). Canada as a whole was 5 degrees above normal this winter, worse in the West and North but the average highs were higher across the country. Thanks, El Nino. And that's only partly sarcastic. Not having to shovel beyond one time when I had contractors coming to do work was nice.

Coffee is Deathwish Dark. Teas are Russian Caravan and Blackberry. Cold drinks are looking good. There's hot water for them what needs it.

Later, alligators!!

Heartbeeps

Wobbegong (it's a species of shark, which isn't easy to tell from looking at it)

Cheating a bit here since I never saw the movie, but I absolutely love "Let It Go" from Frozen. Probably because my son wasn't into it so I didn't get tormented with it as apparently happened to some parents. Singer Floor Jansen took the high road. Instead of complaining, she covered it with a bit of a metal touch and nailed it.

Uakari (yes, that's his real face, not a sunburn)

Reject the badly written stories.

Dark City

Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warren (though the version by Buffy Ste.-Marie, who co-wrote it, is good, too)

A well-done example of either is in my wheelhouse, but these days I seem to lean to drama more than suspense.

Romantic comedy or romantic drama/melodrama?

Role - Vole

Quote by AnnaMayZing

There are two songs from the Bond movies that I can't choose one over the other. This is one, can you guess the other?

I probably should know this from some past discussion, but given you like this one, perhaps "Moonraker" which is a somewhat similar John Barry ballad (and also the last of Shirley Bassey's three Bond themes)?

Quote by verbal
Talia is stuck on the runway right now, worried she'll miss her connecting flight. Send punctual thoughts!

Ugh. Hate it when that happens. Vibes and wishes for a prompt takeoff sent.

Storytime - Nightwish

(usually I would post a version featuring Floor Jansen on vocals, but this is the original by her predecessor Anette Olzon)

May is one of my favourite months for many reasons. It's really Spring here, even if some other parts of Canada can still get the odd bit of snow. Flowering trees are generally out (my crabapple is budding and might open soon, which is early for it). And, well, rumour has it that a certain ape might possibly have been born in May. 😉

Good morning!!

Sort of nice here. I mean the sun is out now and then and there's only a slight chance of showers in the forecast. Still, not as nice as it could be.

Coffee du jour is Muskoka Lumberjack, a medium roast from cottage country.

For tea, I've got Sunday Tea (black tea with Bourbon vanilla) and Canadian Breakfast.

Hot water is on for other teas or, for those still partaking, hot chocolate.

Fresh iced tea and lemonade are in the fridge.

Have a nice one, folks!!
