When a solid sleep happens I am always quietly pleased for the recipient
A friend came for a BBQ last night an she gave me the most wondrous assortment of gifts for my birthday
A beautiful copper coloured metal necklace in the shape of water droplets with silver ones in there too with occaisional droplets having a crystal in them
A metal chicken with springs for legs to bounce and make you smile
A box of creme eggs
And a silicone madeleine baking tray - a thing I have coveted for many years without telling anyone
I am hunting madeleine reciepts…

Yon Bull has a new toy
Yet another thing that beeps so the parrot can listen and copy it

Ephemeral sheep are such a bore: when they’re eating the roses and you try to shove them away, you just go through them and end up with a knee full of thorns.

A charming and helpful chap from eir tuned up a couple of hours ago.
Helpful, that is, until, after spending an hour or so testing lines, climbing poles, disconnecting, reconnecting, rebooting and so forth, he pronounced the line from the pole to the house irreparable. The only solution is to installation a fibre connection, which would be great (especially as we’ll be getting them to pay for it) but I have no idea when it’s likely to be done. We could be incommunicado for weeks…

Music over fibre sounds bassier. So I have been told by a very rich idiot.

Richly idiotic, certainly…
The main concern here is that it’s the end of the academic year, so The Boss has a couple of doctoral candidates on the point of submitting. Since they are currently located as far afield as Hong Kong and Oslo lack of internet is a bit of a problem.

I would have thought that The Boss would have some sort of priority
