Stormie, I don't know what that is around your neck...but, it's working.

I'm not in it, but it's the view from where I'm sitting.
Finally got my stereo and turntable set up. The record visible in the photo is Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery, but right now I'm listening to Axis: Bold as Love.
One of my favorite facts about this album is that Hendrix, very proud of his native american ancestry, told the designer of the cover to do something indian.
The British label's designer took rather the wrong idea from that.

Okay, not RFN, but yesterday evening, when it was too late for me to post.
Me being an Easter Bunny.

What about a pic of that cute bunny tail???

Referring you to previous photos; I don't have a cute bunny tail.

awww...... :(

How 'bout lettin' us see the rest of the costume, then?

Okay, not completely RFN.
But you can appreciate that there was no prep or primping involved.

This is me stripped bare.

I've been off a full week now and I hate it, even though it's Doctor's orders.

You are such a good aide, Sundae. I would kill for aides like you in our school.

Seconding Clod, and also... christ I am in love with your accent. Well, with you, but also with your accent. You have such a beautifully soft voice, that goes so well with your accent to a foreigner like me.
How would you describe your accent in a more local context? Like, even to an anglophile like me, it's hard to know the sort of local context of accents (except really obvious ones like, I can tell a chavvy accent from a posh one).

Thank you, that's very kind.

My voice in that clip is a little softer and huskier than usual because I'm still fighting this infection. Better than this time last week when I could barely speak and certainly coudn't have said all that without coughing :yeldead:

My accent is pretty typical Southern/ London accent.
My London family transplanted to Bucks in the 60s, so I had no chance of a Bucks accent despite being born and bred here. I'm not well spoken because I flatten my vowels and swallow my consonants, but people do comment that I have a good speaking/ telephone voice, because I do at least make some effort at "correct" pronunciation.

I've noticed my speech changing since moving back home. For a long while I lived in places where I had a noticeable accent, so I was free to speak in any way I wanted. Now I'm back home I fall into my parents' patterns of speech. I heard myself say, "yerr-ight?" the other day (are you alright?) and cringed.

Sundae speaks beautifully, even in a local context. A southern/London accent, but not a strong eastend/cockney accent.

It's the accent we (the rest f the country :P) generally associate with the well-to-do, regardless of actual income, because the south is where the money tends to be. There's a harsher version of Sundae's accent, that sounds less monied, and sits alongside the northern accents as typically workingclass, but i hear none of that when I listen to her.

Sundae that is lovely. I can see your sweet demeanor being a really positive thing for the kids. I also love your voice. And I like the hair!

Biscuit coloured hair.

Trouble is, the roots are bright blonde, so I either have to go full on blonde again or darken it all to red. Haven't yet decided.
