RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

Dry here too. In fact, not a cloud in the sky for the second day running, but boy, is it windy! 😳 Despite the reasonable temperatures, it's not a day for the beach! A mug of Yorkshire tea, please, Bear. Thank you.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like the 'Element' competition badge. It's probably my second favourite of the ones I have so far gained. 😊

I really like it, too. All the comp artwork is cool!

Morning, Rumpies

Dropping off some Skittles I had lying around. Taste the Rainbow!

Hello, Rumpies!

I was invited to join this forum. Thanks, @Jamesllewelyyn! I find it interesting, so I am here now. Looking for a dark roast coffee and a cinnamon roll. Haha!

Welcome! Friends this is Lina, from the Philippines!

She wrote a great story for her first competition called The Aria which I would encourage you all to read.

It's called In other news, I wrote a story for the Blue Site which is slightly unusual, even for me!

It's called In Just Spring…

Agreed. Beautifully written story! If you have not read it yet, check it out.

Welcome to Rumps, Lina!

Hey, guess what!

It's GET-FRIED-DAY!

We made it.

'Course, since I don't work anyway, it doesn't matter ALL that much.

To quote the late, great Dame Maggie Smith, in Downton Abbey – "What's a week-end?"

Somehow I can't deliver it as she did.

NVMD

The lights have gone on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up, and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Yorkshire and Gunpowder Green 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 with what passes for clean water in this joint, and is now ready to serve.

Today we're using Happy Camper Coffee, just because.

And we have some fine looking pastries for y'all.

We've got some classic coffee cake – which, to the surprise of many contains no coffee at all!

I'm sure Lion and Jane will wend their way her in a bit, with their musical magic.

Take care out there, 'K?

TGIF Rumpies which here means “Tongue goes in first”

When the Savanna has that busy heartbeat (Rumps) this anicent lion notices,

I yawn and smile that all good here.

Welcome Lina there's always room here in Rumps. I shall settle down with my morning Kicking Horse coffee and read your comp entry.

To welcome you to us here is a song to start TGIF

From 1967 Smothers Brothers Show

Buffalo Springfield performs

For What Its Worth

Kimmi we DO need to discuss your definition of TGIF 😃

And James aka Bear did you think I won't notice your choice of Kicking Horse Coffee's?

Even Jane giggled and pointed at my "9 toes"

😁😁

Good morning, Rumpies! And Happy International Labour Day!

I hope we all get to unwind after a busy week... I've just checked my 'drafts' on this site. So shocked that I have 15 unfinished stories. I think caffeine energises my monkey mind too much. Having my second ☕️our and dreaming that I can read and write in a cosy room by the sea.

A Pain au chocolat serving would be so good!

To set our mood for the weekend

Motely Crue

Doctor Feelgood

Dr. Feel-good

☘️

Y'all enjoy your weekend

Lion & Jane Out

Okey-dokey – it's May 2nd, but the calendar doesn't seem to be paying attention.

We're opening out pool on Tuesday, and I don't know if we're going to go swimming – or ice skating!

It was ZERO degrees this morning (Celsius)!

It'll warm up with the sun, but – honestly?

Oh well – climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.

And you can't even depend on climate anymore.

So, enough bitching – caffeine!

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Yorkshire and Lasang Salchow 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 Loon Call Breakfast Blend coffee beans from Muskoka Coffee Roasters, particularly appropriate given the loonies around this joint!

I've put out donuts.

Plus I've got some fancy looking … somethings. You figure it out!

Take care out there, 'K?

Looks like Bear & I posted at the same time (again),😃

Sorry my friend but Kimmi newest toy tumps your post!!!

My contribution to the tuneage. Italian metal singer Nicoletta Rosellini does some wonderful non-metal cover work. This is her latest, a Pat Benatar song from 1982.

And from 2012, one of the biggest hits of the American band Halestorm.

Much Thanks Mr Ape for posting Nicoletta I like her voice

☘️

To continue covers

Sershen & Zaritskaya feat Kim and Shturmak

AC/DC Back In Black

Enjoy y'all

She's good. I first found her through Erinyes, an all-female metal supergroup (one of two that I know of) and then listened to her bands as well. She's started two herself, one of which is still in action, and is also the lead singer of another. Power metal tends to be her thing.

From her own band, Alterium:

And the other band she currently fronts, Walk in Darkness:

Sershen & Zaritskaya

FYI, if you're looking for new material by them, they are now NoApology. Good Ukrainian band that, last I heard, was still based in Kyiv. They dropped their debut album of original material last year.

I love Halestorm! I am always surprised they haven’t gotten more mainstream attention.
