Hey, CC, Raven, everybody
Things are going ok, Rave, thanks. I have been busy getting ready to start school and a number of fun things.
Plus, my children are really keeping me busy at the moment. My teenager is in a new phase of having some complaint to try and evade school on a weekly basis.

Yes.
*Unsure of whether US has missed the rhyming slang, or has not and is just carrying on with the jokiness, Prax is not certain of how to proceed with the conversation.
There was a song came out in the 70s called "Nice Legs, Shame About The Boat Race", and your egyptian getup reminded me of it.

I've never been able to crack the code of rhyming slang. I've also never heard of the song so I was doubly in the dark.
And you didn't see my legs when I was wearing my trailer trash getup?

Wow, that's dark!
Boat race = face. Ergo, the song was about a girl who had a great set of pins, but had a face like pasta mishap. As a child of about 9 or 10, I found the whole concept terribly amusing. Children, eh?
I may not have seen that. Last time I was regularly haunting this place you were still in your leathers. If it predated your leathers, well... I dinnae remember it, laddy.

I had almost cracked it, but what throws me off with the rhyming slang is the use of two words to replace one. I was thinking - "rice eggs, lollypop amendment uber gummy face" so I almost had it.
If you're around for 10 more minutes, you can see the duds I'm talking about.

Gosh, so close...
Yeah, I must admit that rhyming slang is not necessarily intuitive - especially when a word or two is omitted.
For example, a look is a "butcher's" (butcher's hook) and road is a "frog" (frog and toad). It really has to be a part of one's culture/subculture for it to make sense.
Ah, now that I see it, a bell is ringing quite strongly in the back of my head.

I learned a new phrase that is exactly like the song title - butterface. As in "I like everything about her but her face".
