RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar How Y'all Are?

Friends …

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that one of our own – PJH – died last month in England.

He had leukemia and lingered, so it is perhaps a relief that he no longer suffers.

It hurts when it's someone you know – and didn't get a chance to say good-bye.

But it's also a tap on the shoulder. Tempus Fugit – time is fleeting, and you should embrace what you have.

So, for today, no grousing about the weather, the coffee, or even the Bear.

Appreciate what we have, and make the most of it.

And a toast – to PJH!

.

Bertha has been primed, and there are teas in the box, waiting for hot water from Tea Kettle.

Donuts, as always.

Take care out there – and take care of each other, 'K?

Awww, Bear! 😢 He was such a nice man.

That is very sad to hear. I hope he is in a better place. I didn't know him, but there is still sorrow in my heart for those who did. Today I will honour your request and be joyful for being alive.

I taught him what emojies are... he had no clue about them or many other tech issues
I will truly miss him ... and having to explain so many differences between our languages.
Fair winds and smooth sailing, my special friend...💛🐰

Bummer. I remember PJH, though not well. RIP, condolences and vibes to those needing them.

I didn’t know PJH, but the loss saddens me. A toast to him, and to us all. Embrace life.

Bunny Girl, that spaceship is from a game called No Man’s Sky I am a little obsessed with. It took me months to get that ship!

Coffee, gummie, repeat as necessary.

Serves you your coffee and a side of gummy with a smile. We already have a bartender. Now we have a waitress. lol

I am sorry you lost your friend. ❤️

Thank you - I am still in shock. He was a friend to many on here. And I know he wouldn't want me to grieve. He would want everyone to lift a mug or a glass and celebrate his life - then go on the pitch and play soccer... er FOOTBALL. 😎
So, this is Rump's - let's do what comes naturally... OH, uh, um - YOU FOLKS know what I mean!!! 😁

I'm assuming you mean drink rather than fuck – although both are popular around here.

Ask the waitress…

Nice to see you here again, BG, even if it is for a sad reason.

Sad to hear of PJH's passing. He was always so friendly to me.

I am popping in to say a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I've been dealing with a lot of things and it knocked me on my ass (quite literally) for a bit. But things are looking up.

Glad to hear it, Kat. The joint just ain't the same without you!

Now, what can I get you? Coffee? Tea? Something a little stronger?

Hi, Kat, nice to see you and even nicer to see this. Take care.

You could slip some Hot Damn into some iced tea for me over ice, please and thank you!

Hot Dam over iced tea over ice. You got it!

Sorry to hear about PJH and condolences to his loved ones and friends. Always so sad to lose a friend.

Get the stepladder. 😇

thanks for reminding me to suspend you.

Evening all, so sorry to hear about PJH. A lovely man, RIP.

Weather, well ... in the high 30's today (that's 90's for those who still do F.) And the three year old was prepared, he'd assembled swimming paraphernalia early (like his Xmas body board) beside the front door; mama took the hint and the harbor water was perfect, (it will be much more than a hot minute before I take him to one of Sydney's surf beaches.)

The TV news included the Northern Hemisphere, God knows how they choose what to show but tonight's clips were Lexington in Kentucky (I thought of two Lushies) and Harrogate in Yorkshire (a couple more Lushies.)

Heads up, on January 9th, Piquet and I will be part of the third Lush 'Meet The Author' event. It's an official Lush event where we two Aussies will chat, perhaps wittily, about our work and our experiences as authors here on Lush. The event is in Forum : Chat and will be hosted and moderated by leftlingula. (starting time in the links below) I hope you can drop by and ... Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi.

But but but, suspension ... then what happens when I finish fourth.

OK, so there's a lot going on – up topside, and Downunder! Heavens to Murgatroyd!

Anyway – caffeine. Must. Have. Caffeine…

Lights are on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and yet, the place isn't noticeably better. Imagine that.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Red Rose and Irish Breakfast teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is now perkin' away.

Today we're using Killer Coffee, because it's Moanday after Christmas.

Yes, the Twelve Days of Christmas ended yesterday. Today is the Feast of the Epiphany when we celebrate the visit of the Three Wisemen to the Creche.

Although around here it's more like the Three Stooges.

There are donuts.

Plus I've got some peanut butter cookies.

Annie, SO glad you brought us up to date on what the weather round your way. With wind chill, we're going to be approaching -20C around these parts in the next day or so.

Good thing I'm a Polar Bear, eh?

Take care out there, OK?

Still waiting for a little help…

10 inches with more to come… hey, that sounds like a great title for a story!

This is why I moved to BC where it is a balmy 2C. Perfect bikini weather if you don't mind showing off your nipples a little.

Don't worry Annie, sprite threatens to suspend me at least once a week. I then whisper sweet nothings (actually diabolical dirty nothings) in her ear, she gets so excited and distracted she forgets all about the suspension.

Coffee please!

But then you feel let down when they're fibbing and it's only half that, soft and barely visible in the morning

Meet the Authors #3: Oceania Edition

This sounds excellent! Sadly it is at 4 in the morning here, and I only get to see 4 a m. if I have been out all night (a rarity these days). If someone could post text of the chat that would rock

Morning all. My usual: a coffee and a gummie please

EDIT: This just in! 13 stories and counting over at Bleu (https://www.storiesspace.com/). Got some flash game? 6 more days to enter! The ante is only 1000 words

We've got a birthday to celebrate today, whether she wants to or not!

Happy Birthday, Kistin!

We've got cake and balloons, and a stripper named Josie for you! She's totally into long, lean, talented women!

And, of course, Mimosas to kick off your day!
