h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Do you drop the children at the carer's, or do they turn up at your house?

Ooh a new thread.

I wasn't around much for the last one - but good to see you all again. And Gnomon and Nicky as well!

Hello, miss nicky. Enjoy your stay here.

I was at a wedding on Saturday. Can anybody tell me the name of the colour the bridesmaids wore? It's here on this photo:

Aubergine?

Maroon? Eggplant?

I can't see the photo - but all this talk of Aubergines is making me hungry.

Burgundy?

I have been away from here for about 18 months, was missing from hootoo for a year and came back about 6 months ago.

I guess you want something more than "dark red".

8C happened while I am actually in a US time zone and of course I was in a meeting so I end up at page 2... Oh well

Oooh, Irish coffee

Speaking of coffee. I am ruined. Totally and completely ruined.

I have been drinking exclusively Salt Lake Roasting Company coffee since I moved. I tried to drink regular diner quality coffee yesterday and it was horrible. I can't go back to the crap that most places serve. Thankfully I am back where I can visit the Roasting Company regularly.

Hmm. There's something sad about being the last poster to the previous thread. It's so...almost.

Hello Gnomon and Miss Nicky and all,
I am fashionably late due to looking at my latest photos just back through post, some are quite pleasing too, a couple have camera shake due to not using a tripod so my fault. Some of tree bark with green lichen(sp?) are quite pleasing, one of stones around a totom(sp?) pole , of all things, is set to go in my all time favourites as simple but gives an impression of a beach.
One photo has turned out quite effective partly by chance. It is of some fungie on bottom of a branch with the camera looking upwards with tree disapearing upwards. I was nearly on tiptoes and wobbling so surprising it came out OK. As my SLR camera doesn't have an interchangeable lens I had to make do but couldn't get too close to fungie, however since that means including more tree than normal it actually works out quite well.

Oh well, second LED at least...

Matina, a G&T please!

*flops down in a sofa*

Mementos from previous thread? Hmmm... Lentilla's Cthulhu mask! Kind of creepy, it was...
