Croatian for Drummers, Part 21.
More essential phrases:
"Hej cure hocete li vidjeti moje stapove?" [Hey, girls, do you want to see my drumsticks?]
"Ma ne, to nije moja bas pedala - to moje srce kuca za tebe." [No, that's not my bass pedal; it's my heart beating for you.]
"Alo ribe ovdje ajkula!" - "Hello fishies, shark has arrived!" is, according to my source*, a traditional Croatian version of Terry-Thomas' "I say, ding dong, woof woof!"
*I would like to point out that my source, Seni, is Jonathan's Godmother, and quite likely (make that 'very likely') to be sending me utterly unsuitable phrases, for a laugh. So apologies if they are, in fact, rather rude.

Last night's noctilucent clouds
Fantastic outbreak of noctilucent clounds last night - this view is looking north at about 11.15.

Last night's rehearsal
A nice informal gathering in Shed 3b last night. John and Jesse were absent - the latter suffering violent 'holiday tummy with added projectile vomiting' while away on holiday in Greece. Our sympathies go to him and his fellow passengers on the plane.
Shock news that Sheds 4a and 4b will not, after all, be converted into a microbrewery disappointed everyone, although, had plans been successful, I dread to think what would happen during rehearsals in 3b.
Other highlights of the evening included a brief guest appearance by Johnny 'Hot Fingers' Flindt on rhythm guitar; now that he has mastered the chords A, D and E, he is fully qualified to join in for over half our set.
Sadly, no-one seemed interested in the details of Charlie's day driving Aston Martins round Millbrook Proving Ground.

International Space Station
Pic of the ISS heading towards the Eastern horizon, 30 second exposure at 1600ISO. Must buy myself a decent tripod and a remote release.
