Well it was a Half Truth

When I said precious little activity on the musical front...I meant in the house of Mal. I received an electronic communique from Mike as follows,

"plenty going on in the house of swing!!! the small song, the trapeze song, the like whatever baby song (which you haven't heard yet) ready to sing...and Gina Lollabridgida coming along well!"

Yes, methinks that Gina will develop into quite a woman

Meanwhile Ol' Mal has resumed his secret life as a Trainee Teacher for a few weeks...bring on the hols...and some croonin' time.

Mal Says:
A musical combo is a bit like a marriage...but without sex.
OK so it's a lot like marriage.

Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick

Precious little activity in the musical swingness department lately - many assignments to do.
I had to do a project in Leather for one class. No that is not what I made. What I made was a picture frame and a tool roll. But here's the good bit...as a part of the class we had to present a folio of resource material. Now I found an excellent website for leather braiding / plaiting...only trouble is it is only two clicks from the parent site...a BDSM site offering for sale, amongst others, the Spank-o-Matic. But remember I got to this site via the plaiting OK.

Mal Says:
Bondage is just plain weird, and as soon as I get these cuffs of you're for it !

Think What You Like, Damn You

For some reason I wrote these lyrics recently. I'm projecting...or maybe being ironic...or even Byronic ?

I thought that I had found my perfect somebody in you
But I’ve seen you going round, looking for someone new
Because my dick is too small
Because my dick is too small
Because my dick is too small, you’re looking for someone new

Mal Says:
My dick isn't too small...really...it's a cold night okay.

Did the Earth Move for You ?

No ? Well it has for Mike.
Mike and Mrs Mike (and mike jnr) have just moved into a new pad. And pad is the chosen word...what else would you call a house with a sunken lounge, a sunken bath and a parquetry floor. Of course it goes without saying that there is also a spa, a pool and a mirror backed bar...complete with clearly defined storage for 33's and 45's.
There has to be a drawback...I mean life is like that...and the drawback is the Swingle bed. This house (c.1968) has built in beds, and here is the killer. They are Swingle beds. That size between a Queen and a King popular in the late 60's, close enough to be er close, but big enough for a small crowd (if required) The problemette is that Swingle bed mattresses aren't made anymore, or at least they aren't available ready made. So Mike and Mrs Mike (mike jnr is cut out of this particular loop) need to order one special like, and ordering a Swingle bed tells the good folk at your local Mattress Universe quite a lot about your private tastes.
So here's to Mike and Mrs Mike, and their tense wait on the fold-out while the Swingle bed is being engineered (extra bounce thanks)

Mal Says:
A sunken lounge is not a design feature if your house needs re-stumping.

I Draw the Line at Socks

It's amazing the reaction admitting to buying Op Shop underwear can cause ! All the: you don't know who has worn them...yuk, how disgusting...that is sick...diatribes I have copped over the last few days.
My reply to all of these is 'sex'. You can't tell me having sex is any cleaner than wearing somebody elses (washed) undies. If this anti-undie brigade has had sex involving at least one (and not more than four) other individual(s) then I say HYPOCRITE, and go and wash your hands.

I've tried sex...but it's not as good as the real thing
