I hoard pens and pencils. It would be so awful not to have anything to write with. I've been known to wear purple too, but not (yet) with a red hat. My grandmother used to sit down on pavements if she was tired, so I expect I'll do that eventually. I do draw the line at spitting, but I suppose if I eventually get badly fitting false teeth.....  |

In the interests of science, I'm tempted to find out what three pounds of sausages looks like. I ate a burger and two sausages at a barbecue when I visited Birmingham and I couldn't eat another thing (not even a waferfinmint) but they were rather chunky.

A-ha! A clue! (Your posting score was 1337 at the time, Mort...) -  Perhaps some of this stuff will do your cold some good! Cor blimey, nuffin` gets past you, Sherlock! This means that The Leet is lurking for all unwary 1336s. Gulp! Does anybody else know the gag about the blonde who goes to the garage and asks the mechanic to replace the "710" on her engine, because it's been missing for about a week? Mechanic: "710 luv? what's one of them? never 'eard of it"
Blonde spends the next hour and a half waiting while Mr.Halford calls all the parts dealers he knows, with an expression of increasing bafflement.
"A'right my dear, can you draw a picture of it for me?"
Gives the blonde a scrap of paper and a pencil. |

A just-before-bed rant: Not only did sickness prevent me (and many others) attending the meet-up tonight, I tried to write some words and some music this afternoon. I live very near to a hotel. It has a courtyard. It mounts 'functions' in that bluddy courtyard. So, what do I hear upon putting pencil to paper earlier today? Only Scots bagpipes doing o'er the heather/ highroad/ bonny this or something/ lowroad/ kiss my sporan or whatever - ALL AFTERNOON, as part of some workshop thingie. Hopeless! Sorry, that's probably racist. But I only meant it to be pipeist.   |

martle,
I understand how you feel. I hate it when people from outside impose their plans on you.
On the other hand there is a next day and you will do things you wanted to do and that might be for the best (you will work better).

It is a mixture of rain and sun. At the moment it is not too bad, but we had rain at night. May be you will have better weather coming.  |

Happily accepted, Martle. I too encountered the skirl of the pipes yesterday, when I had an hour to spend in Edinburgh because the GNER train to Aberdeen had been terminated there, forcing a wait for the next (and very overcrowded) Scotrail service. Not exactly an imposition to have to spend time in my favourite city, so I walked the length of Princes St. in the bright warm sun. On the corner by the Scott Monument, as ever, there was a be-kilted piper busking, though further down the street there were only hippy drums to be heard.
