you know, this is going to make getting to the apéro tonight a bit tricky.

I'd invite you over to out house tonite, but we have no kitchen and besides, we're going to our granddaughter's 2nd BD party. You could come to that, but it would be weirder than you can imagine...

I'm guessing there would be SHUMs there, as well.... (not necessarily your granddaughter, of course!)

I wonder if it's organisation, or if they just have "many" and Mandelbrot on their side.

Alternatively, perhaps Spring moved to Wisconsin? Or at least tried to. Apparently there was a slight problem with Homeland Security following the metal detectors getting over excited and attempting a rendition of a well-known work by Stravinsky (which went over the head of the staff and almost everyone else, including the author, it must be said), and a failure to disclose the exact day of departure and its address whilst resident (it seems that giving the address as all of US was not acceptable). Spring attempted to make things better by getting the sap to rise, which finally resulted in Spring being arrested for abuse of security staff. Currently Spring appears to be incarcerated at its port of entry, without chance of appeal whilst the authorities argue over its nationality so that it can be repatriated with prejudice.

Couldn't you have offered to repatriate Queen Zee with the aid of your trebuchet (I admit, you would need to furnish the launching platform in royal colours first.... chocolate, I believe).

Hey. Don't set a dangerous precident. All bills should be settled very reluctantly, not at all, or in some ego-massaging vote for Pshrynk's latest election campaign.

And if they don't, a few ZCDs in quick succession, followed by a good old fashioned tar and feathering should do the trick...

Yesterday was nice and sunny, today less so.

Keep meaning to go to the tip so we can use our downstairs loo again...

Sorry, it's not a tip, it's a reuse and recycle centre or some such. It's also the nearest place to us with a clothes bank, and whilst I'd normally drop unwanted clothes off at a charity shop, or alter them into something else, I have 3 large bags now of clothes and fabric that has either completely worn out or been violently and viciously attacked by our slightly odd clothes moths (they leave things like cotton velvet and wool alone, mostly, and go for polyester velvet and other synthetics).

We're only expecting 26C today, and 25C over the next few days, though we've lost summer's humidity (now only around 50-60% during the day) so it feels cooler. Overnight, we're getting down to 15C and the doona's gone back on the bed.

However, the skies are, in typical cool-months fashion, crystal clear and blue, with a nice warming sunlight for sitting around and doing nothing in.

Cheers,
Marc
