Now back in Sarf Lunnun


I always remember a sign in a pub beer garden

"Children with well behaved parents are welcome"


[BB]

And there was a sign in a gift shop in Lakeland: Children with Bad Manners Will Be Sold Into Slavery.

Thanks Titania - it was indeed yesterday. And a fairly miserable day it was too so I'm not counting it. Anything I can do to stave off that Signficant Birthday, which is clomping over the horizon in tackety boots, can only be a good thing

Happy Birthday Teuchter!

Glad you arrived safely, BB. And that's an excellent sign. I agree that ill-mannered children are allowed to be that way. As annoyed as I get at some of the kids who disrupt the library, I get more upset with their parents.


for Teuchter. (muscle relaxants and a gift certificate for the masseur of your choice)

*quietly so the time doesn't notice*
Happy Birthday for yesterday Teuchter!

Here, have this for no apparent reason.

It is a retroactive contract adjuster

Glad I inspired you Ben, do let me konw how it goes!

Am at home today due to the lurgey. Somehow, getting up late and cleaning the bathroom has caused me to have a bad back This has never happened to me before but it huuuuuuurrrrrts!

I'ts been fun watching the beasties playing today

Oh No Kelli - not your back too! Here - have some of this muscle relaxant Hyp gave me. I'm afraid the masseur's rather busy just now but if he's got anything left after I've finished with him, I'll send him round

*reads instructions for retroactive contract adjuster
1. Point and Tweak in a clockwise direction.
2. If that doesn't work after three tries - throw it at the recalcitrant party.

Sounds jolly useful

*Hands Teuchter a containing fingerless gloves, with crossed tooth-pick and little-mirror-on-stick motif, and a selection of soothing relaxing bath-bombs*

*places visiting card on salver. It reads [Agapanthus - banning self from chattering until bally blog is up and running. Or at least trundling]. And she tiptoes out again.*

Many happy returns, Teuchter (yes, also that one, the over-the-horizon one )

<- everlasting supply of fresh fir-and-pine air supply for those tired moments

I suggest you recelebrate your birthday at the weekend, Teuchter and insist on it being both days to make up for it! In the meantime, a belated Happy Birthday for yesterday.

*hands Teuchter a containing a selection of tall flowering plants that will not require staking for support*

*muches on the provisions and wishes Teuchter a belated happy birthday*

Belated birthday wishes, Teuchter!

Marv, my father passed away 10 years ago, at the age of 54. I remember my big brother wasn't really with me and mom at that time, exept if mom asked him to *do* something. As we understood, he had different ways for handling the situation and we tried to accept it. Years later he said that for him it was a bit too much just to be there and see the rest of the family crying their eyes out. I saw the same happening on later occasions (as Grim Reaper has been seen around every now and then) and in a way I think he is doing the right thing.

Meanwhile I've joined the Bad Back Club. Packing and dragging bags and boxes around has side effects.

Today I bought the appartment for my family and another part of my life will be over next week. I am happy to start a new one.

Happy belated birthday, Teuchter! Here's a big red nerf hammer for hitting things without harming them. Great for expending energy when annoyed.

Hati, I'm glad to hear things are moving forward, and I hope you're warm!

Happy birthday Teuchter!


It's a Psychically Attuned Dental Doohickey of Evil. Basically if you ever see people who persisently fail to look after their teeth you can get this out and it will manifest as the most evil and terrifying dental apparatus they can imagine while transmitting subliminal messaged about dental hygiene directly into their brain.

Howdy folks.

Just dropped by to bring Hati a little housewarming present. It's a special oil heater to keep her new place warm and toasty. The special bit is that the oil tank magically refills itself whenever needed.

And belated birthday wishes for Teuchter.

The bad news is that the evening forcast today had -28C/-19F for this Sunday. I hope they'll change the forecast before the weekend.

Hippo Birdie, Teucter!
