Miscellany
May. 4th, 2006 04:14 pmThere is a foreign cat lying snoozing in our back garden. Or, possibly, a very large cowpat, but that seems less likely.
In probably related news, the patio is littered with mouse corpses. Ew.
If you feel your life would be enriched by looking at cartoon penguins illustrating Linux-related sex positions (and frankly, who wouldn't?), go here. Yes, there are also gay penguins.
The plumbers have finally finished the last item on their list, namely the replacement of the biggest lounge radiator. Unfortunately, the new, efficient radiator is not as long as the old manky one, so there are unsightly patches at either end of it. As the bathroom is also a bizarre mixture of shiny new tiles+porcelain, and shredded wallpaper+bare plaster, either I shall have to Get A Man In or bestir myself. Hmm. I wonder which seems more likely.
Dragon Challenge participation now in double figures, yay! I have, so far, only an opening paragraph, in my head, but procrastinated this morning by making a pretty nameplate for it.
There is a tree in our (next-door neighbour's) back garden that is covered with pompoms of pink blossom. It is lovely.
My conservatory is full of begonis, fuchsias and delphihiums in pots, and something that starts with an L in toilet rolls.
My sister has SHEEP now! O, rapture! They have been moved in by the nearby farmer, and tasked with keeping the grass short. Accompanying cows apparently prefer to go a-rambling and depositing... and we're back to cowpats. And I didn't even plan that!
Fish is here. Must dash.
