[The moogles open up in a cacophany of "kupo"]

[Mog] ... Nope, not quiet anymore!

So those steaming piles of horse manure are nothing to do with the
Vakyries who'm i understand have been rideing recently.

IIEM, a very large caffeinated beverage. Don't care what it is, just give me something with caffeine that tastes good.

I liked the poem, Egon

IIEM a skinny latte please.

I like the poem, Egon. The last line, though seems to fall out of the meter - where the word fair is, should be a 2 syllable word, I think. How about: "Crushed in your open hand"? The "open" makes the the reader pause and think, since it is unexpected and can lead to several deeper meanings. Just the thing for a poem.

Of course, feel free to ignore this. I've never written a line of poetry in my life. Doggerel, yes, poetry, no.

well, I did warn I wasn't very good at that sort of thing

also, while writing that poem, I wasn't trying to make it fit, like I normally do- it was just an instant, emotional reaction to my girlfriend calmly informing me she was leaving me to go to Canada. On the piffling grounds that she was a Canadian.

You could always come with her, Egon. Canada's a pretty good place, to make a broad generalization.

I suppose that could have been a solution.

Damn- where were your helpful suggestions eight months ago?

I wrote a long article about coffee this week, so I know now what I want to drink.

IIEM, a mochaccino, please.

*Washes up*
*Puts v/_\3 on*
I met Terry Jones yesterday at a book signing.

<BB<

I met the other Terry...Pratchett...at a book signing last year and just missed getting my face in the local paper by one person.

Is Bluebottle still online? Oh - please...

*hangs around hoping for a cup of *

I've been very poorly today . I hope I've not made a mistake booking coach tickets for next week .

for Amy

*looks around for Ripley but realizes he must be dozing in the Atelier*

IIEM, warm with honey please...

[Mog] Um ... I saw Eric Idle while he was on tour!

Eric Idle is very Mog!

Amy, I hope you will be well enough to travel too .

IIEM, a Mog's Special please...

-12ºC(10ºF) yesterday morning and +1ºC(34ºF) today - I loathe this semi-winter-thingy which gives you an impression of drifting into and out of various climate zones!

...and I saw on the news that mainland Greece had snow yesterday - after having had +25ºC(77ºF) just a few days ago. The weather does seem to go haywire these days!

Turkey have also had a lot of snow, we have got non-weather here: mildish, no wind, grey and generally depressing.

IIEM, hot water with lemon juice, please.

The atmospheric pressure is unreasonably high but I feel better today.
