oh yes, I'm going to try a humming bird next. Those flowers, I already have a request to put it into a quilt. Once the humming bird is done I'll post pictures.

Step- Thank you so much sweetie...... they look much better

Excellent work, bullsie!

Maybe I should "fire" my sister and ask you to be my seamstress for my costumes instead???

bulldog · 06-09-2010, 04:46 PM

teehee........ I'm not that good, I just programmed the machine

UPtimist · 06-10-2010, 01:44 AM

You can program a sowing machine?

Wow, sowing machine humour...

*stepurhan* · 06-13-2010, 12:14 PM

A quintessential British activity. Morris dancing.

The band

The instrument at the back is a simple percussive one. It is essentially a stick with bottle tops loosely nailed all round it. It is hit on the ground and makes a nice sound.

The dancers

The rag coats are traditionally black rags, the colourful versions being a comparatively recent addition. In the original version you would also wear a hat and black up your face. The intention was to disguise the size, shape and appearance of the dancers so no individual dancers could be recognised.

Short video of the dancing. Two slight issues. Someone clears their throat right next to the camera (OK, it was me) and someone walks in front.

The first time I heard about morris dancing was in a computer game. (You can probably guess which one.) The game makers didn't seem to like the idea. The protagonist certainly didn't.

Why is the music the same as in the Netherlands? Only we have different dances, with very old women.
Anyways, Morris Dancing is boring. It's not a manly thing. I went to the tractor pulling in Deurningen yesterday. That was fun:

The smoke is normal. All tractors did that. And a bit of diesel smoke never hurt anybody, right?

Did you see the big sticks they were waving around? Don't let the bells, raggedy coats and ocassional hanky-waving fool you.

But did you pull any tractors? How does one attract tractors anyway? A dash of diesel behind the ears?

I used to like them but I don't any more. Fortunately this former hobby has left me with the ability to remove smoke and other fumes from rooms.

Reading the following spoiler is an acknowledgement that you won't hit me for the contents

Spoiler:
That's becaause I'm an ex-tractor fan.

And it's an ecological and challenging alternative to other sports to watch.

Jelena · 06-14-2010, 08:03 AM

Well I think the Morris dance looks cool!
Tractor pulling isn't my cup of tea.

Your tractor fanboyism has joined the choir invisible?

I love tractors, especially the Lanz Bulldog:

They have this brilliant one-cylinder diesel engine. The sound they make is fantastic!

bulldog · 06-14-2010, 02:11 PM

Awsome tsa....... great

Step- there is a country song called "She thinks my tractor is sexy" I'm sure I can dig it up for you

*stepurhan* · 06-14-2010, 11:44 PM
