OK, so what do we do now? Wait for page 602? Will it ever end? What are we doing here? What is the meaning of life? What's for dinner? And where did that chocolate cake go?

Also, they've got you down for the 3.00pm slot. I've booked the tiptruck. They said to say "G'day", that they enjoyed the last playdate, and that are looking forward to another. Odd...they don't normally care for, yet alone like, people. You must have been fun.

I just had an epiphany:
I've started knitting squares to be assembled to form a bed cover (all the while surfing MR ) and am right now (well in about a minute) finishing the first of those squares, so I thought (in English, which is not that frequent): "I'm almost done with square one". (see how I managed to fit 4 parenthesis in 3 lines?)

Square one...could the expression "being at square one" come from quilting? Or is it from Snakes and Ladders?

None of them precludes your theory, though I think the standard phrase is "back to square one", and I'm not sure how that would apply to quilting.

World Wide Words is a favourite website and a great one for satisfying curiosity about words, phrase and assorted idioms. The author's pleasure comes through, and the explanations never feel of the dryness of dictionary definition.

Which reminds me, I must resubscribe to their feeds...

Yup! It's going slowly... sigh... but then all my writing goes slowly, if you ignore the boring-as-batshit stuff I do to earn a paycheck atm. I'm desperately hoping it'll live up to expectations... *gnawing on fingernails*
