Thanks

Dear mmMeKitty (with a wave to DB)~

Your first sentence reminded me of the 3 Hippos in the 1940 Disney Fantasia's Dance of the Hours

And thank you for the highly detailed instructions on making a Larger-phone. I knew imbibing was involved, I guess we will have to rely upon DB, Grandy and the inebriated kiwis to provide the materials.

You just want me to get into trouble! Of course both you and DB are far too pretty, however I guess I'll have to make an exception and virtually hug the pair of you - then talk fast:)

Dear Robthomaslover,
As you most likely already know it was policy to overwrite tape in the 60's and a great many TV series or their episodes went for ever, though occasionally one turns up preserved on film stock, such as a missing episode of The Avengers (Tunnel of Fear) recently. Many also were live and never recorded at all. Plus copyright comes into it, a sad mix.

Although I've a number of Z-Cars episodes I suspect your is indeed wiped. The only other place I could suggest is the British Film Institute which as a very comprehensive library, but also very strict rules on who may view their collection.

May I ask which actor you were particularly interested in? The only one of note, other than the usual cast, that stands out for me is Derek Fowlds, he of

Bernard: I want to have a clear conscience.
Sir Humphrey: A clear conscience.
Bernard: Yes.
Sir Humphrey: When did you acquire this taste for luxuries?

๐Ÿ˜นYou'd look good in a pretty pink tu-tu, too! You'd be gliding effortlessly under water, with sea lions, & an Orca, who would lift you up, & spin you round above the water's surface, spraying glittering droplets of water all around! Oh so beautiful!

Hey Croix,

Hope you were enjoying the quiet....๐Ÿ˜บso I thought I'd like to try my paws at ice sculpting. Make ๐ŸŽof ice. You will hear tinkling like the ice is giggling, & then you'll hear the deep drone of an icebreaker's engines. Won't that be nice at 2am?

All the sounds will be in harmony...๐Ÿ˜บ

Dear MK

I'm afraid Ive been neglecting things the day day or so, my health has not been what i might like (too mam fish probably) so I've been a bit quiet.

I'm glad you found your uncomfort has been due to scabs on stitches healing and hope you can have proper shower soon.

I'd sooner you did not mention icebreakers approaching my domicile, very worrying

As for ice sculptures, I'd be most interested to see your ephemeral efforts -do you have an ideas in mind?

Waving back at our Mr Croixy man ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿง hi kitty ๐ŸฆŠ and all โ˜บ

Hey Mr you not feeling to good matey. Sorry hearing that. I hope a quick recoverys in order. Poor bloke

I'll be very well behaved ...ummm...well...ok...a little behaved anyway and just be sitting here using the Jack hammer on the the ice bergs ..oop ...oh ok so I'll go back to knitting then so you won't even know I'm here.

You may here some cracking...it's the frozen wool breaking

Rest up Croixy we want you well and full of fish ...I mean beans

๐Ÿง๐Ÿค— virtual hug received thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ—ฏ rest up good man ๐ŸŒž

Hey DB, what do you think of ice sculpted ๐ŸŽ, really big ๐ŸŽ, from the tiniest toothpick size tube, to one which you might drive a truck through? I thought a spiral shape, based on the Fibonacci Sequence. I will need to build a very tall curving stand with a hook at the top to hang it from. That's at least one better use for those old oil rigs, eh?

So, don't worry, Croix, it'll take some time to organise.๐Ÿ˜ธ

Do you know the average wind speed in Antarctica?

Croix...wondered if you've seen After Life on Netflix with Ricky Gervais? It really resonated with me. Final episode of final Season 3 was incredibly moving to me...also loved Trent Daltons book - Love Stories...

Dear DB, Moon, mmMeKitty nd all~

Now I am worried, with DB pretending a jackhammer is simply knitting - you could not behave yourself if you tried - wool breaking in deed! Plus I saw you sneak a sun into your post -do you want the berg to melt? Sheesh.

Now mmMekitty is planing on putting an oil rig on my iceberg AND driving trucks around, sheer vandalism!

Incidentally if one discounts the effects of the beans DB is trying to feed me the mean 3pm wind speed, per annum, is 36.9 km/h at Mawson Station.

Moon, I've not seen the series though Ricky Gervais is a pretty amusing actor. On your recommendation I've placed a hold on Trent Dalton's book - Love Stories with my state library to download. It must be good becuse they have 15 copies -all lent out and I have to wait:(

Incidentally MK, what is that emoji you are using for ice sculpture, looks like a blue blob on top of a wavy white ribbon?

๐Ÿ˜นThat: ๐ŸŽ, my text-to-speech reader told me is supposed to be a "wind Chime"!

Proof: technology is not solving every problem. ๐Ÿ˜บ

I imagined what it might be like, if I had a wind chime made of glass, how might tht sound? I'd love to know! Now what if it was made of ice? So now you know myplan...

... which is to encourage a speedy recovery from anything & everything you got!๐Ÿ˜ป (including me).
