Thirty nine days and thirty nine nights and counting

GODS, DEMIGODS, AND SMALL THINGS THAT LIVE UNDER TOADSTOOLS, I AM SO SICK OF THIS FRICKING WEATHER.  Last night walking, or rather sloshing, home from tower practice-which takes all of about a minute and a half-I was thinking, if I had any food in the house I’d ring Peter and say I wasn’t coming.  Levering somnolent hellhounds out of their warm

It wasn't wet where I am, but I had to be outside for about an hour this morning in near-freezing weather with gale force winds. Naturally, I had only thought to bring a sweatshirt.

Naturally! :)

And it snowed today. I want Spring too, please.

(I thought you said you were going to go to bed at a reasonable hour...?)

I SAY all SORTS of things. :)

Mostly now I use soup.

I've been having some allergy issues today, resulting in my eyes being a bit swollen and blurry. And so it's probably understandable that I first read this as "Mostly now I use soap."

And I thought to myself, OK. Menopause may be bad. I'm braced for that. But if it starts making soap look like a viable condiment choice, I am going to have a SERIOUS talk with my doctor right off the damn bat.

And then I rubbed my eye, and looked again. Whew. Don't scare me like that again, ok? :)

Don't scare me like that again, ok? :)

*********** Bend over a broken water main and get your eyes clear before you read my next post, okay? :)

Hell, I'm lucky my contacts didn't end up floating down the friggin' storm drain when that happened--I'm not sure I'd call it a vision-improving experience. :) I'll just be sure not to spend part of an afternoon snooze with my face pressed into a cat, that seems like a sensible plan. But he's so SOFT, dammit!

for a long time I believed that the only comedy worth having was British.

But of course. Though I have to admit Tom Lehrer as the honourable exception to that rule.
I've been a Flanders & Swann fan for many years; it seems there's something of a revival at the moment, judging by the "tribute" performances which are attracting good audiences.

I do struggle suspending disbelief to the extent necessary to make the plot of Ernani even vaguely credible. But the singing - at least the bits I heard this evening - made it well worth putting up with the plot.

I can only listen to Falstaff at all by FIRMLY SUPPRESSING any knowledge of the plot. Also Mozart's Cosi.

Absolutely Tom Lehrer.

I live in Kansas City, MO

We can have the day start bright and perky and warm in the morning (October to April) and then suddenly decide to have a front go through, temps drop, clouds form and it farking snows.

Or vice versa. We've had strong fronts in the middle of summer where it's shivery and 40s because of the strength of the front.

It got so warm early that our fruit trees bloomed out and then in April we had two weeks of killing frost and it blasted our poor trees (a dear friend has assured me that if it stays warm we'll have an overabundance of cherries). I just feel bad, we know people with orchards. There was very little of that sort of fruit in the entire midwest.

Oooh. That's all? You cook the broccoli in the water WITH the oil on top? And good wide egg noodles--yes. This sounds like a plan. :)
