I'll reveal, for those interested: It's a page from a book (or, perhaps, "book" is more appropriate, as it's really a box of loose sheets) by Robert Grenier, one of my favorite poets. Plenty of work to see here: http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/grenier/This particular page (which is intentionally indecipherable, as is most of Grenier's work) says "what may you be" Huh. I always thought it was something you drew in Microsoft Paint with your trackpad. Would "my six-year-old could have made that" be an appropriate response?  thanks for the EPC link, by the way. the sort of thing that makes me unreasonably proud to be associated with SUNY Buffalo. |

The SUNY Buffalo poetry library of course owns quite a lot of those Grenier manuscripts. I sat w/ them for hours and hours, once upon a time.
If you're still over there teaching remedial aural skills to the composition students (ouch), you should stop in to the poetry library and see all that work first-hand.

There is no rain again. Yesterday's rain is not enough. They say tomorrow we will have rain.
Millie did well to water her garden.

We still haven't had any rain either, t-p. The ground is so dry I'm surprised anything is alive at all.

No rain here and we've been gardening since 10am with a short break to take all the rubbish to the local tip. Going to sit down for a bit now and recover!
It might rain tomorrow though, according to the forecast

This is not a rant, more of a mea culpa. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I thought that snails were pretty savvy. I was baffled by finding them in the porch, until I worked out that they must come in via the letter box. Smart. Hat off to `em.
Today I hoovered up a snail. Only a baby one. Didn`t mean to do it, I tried to rescue it but .... the snail went down the hoover and I was left holding the shell. I`ve disposed of the buglers before but with beer. At least that way they go happy and exchanging drunken jokes, `Did yer `ear the one `bout the Irish frog, the Scottish frog and the Rabbi?`.
What`s the betting that my rocket is trashed tonight in revenge?

 Mort, just in case you need to study those rocket thingies more closely to prevent said trashing in the future.  I get the little buglers on my doorstep too. The cat refuses to do the business (what a waste of space SHE is!), and they're so hardy, perhaps by being by the sea, that they respond to nothing. Next step: gather them up and do them in garlic butter!  |

M'lord, what opera do they habitually play in lapdance clubs? Poulenc, Les Marnelles? |

Martle,
Hmm, that Charge Burst, or is it Burst Charge (memeory aint was it was. Or what I thought it was) could come in useful. Re. felines, my 2 beast are absolute carp at doing the old `I`m a big menacingl predator` thing. Apart from when it comes to frogs in the garden, then I have to have a major `Get off that frog!` fight with them. Tcha!
George, I want to say something desperately witty involving the words `has landed` but, umm, er, innit, Great Scott! Is that the time? I have some urgent crochet to attend to.....

Alas, they do not play such music in those places, suppose one could go to the opera with a lapdancer and play 'footsie' during certain choice arias eh, I think historically that kind of thing did go on, though the profession of lapdancer is a new one I wonder if they had professional 'footsie and flirt only' girls ?

`Get off that frog!`  And as for music in lapdancing clubs, I won't say anything about William Crotch or 'Air on the G String' if everyone else promises not to. |

Think I would prefer footsie at the opera, perhaps I am getting old or belong to another time ?  |
