...only to find out that I'm still on vacation. All my co-workers are indeed laughing at me for going in when I didn't need to, but it was still a delightful surprise. :)
eor and I went up to Western Prom and laid in the sun for a little while. Thankfully my allergies left me alone, because I took antihistimines before bed last night. I guess I'll need to do that again tonight. It's nice to not be snuffling. It's a lovely day. It's the kind of day that makes one wish one had a summer place to go to where you could hang out in your own yard, or be 'in' for people to drop by for tea.
I just finished reading "The Afternoon Tea" book, Michael Smith. I'm going to call that Book #22 for this year, even though I only skimmed through the recipes - the last nearly half of the book - because after all I have no need for recipes for sandwitches, cakes and cookies I'm never going to make. The history of tea in England and the descriptions and explanaitions of all the paraphenalia and the rituals is great, though, and his enthusiasm is infectious. I wish I had some way to play the tea host! I suck as a cook, though, and I haven't got any space for such a thing.
eor found all sorts of cheap houses for sale in Rumford, though. Anyone want to join us in buying houses in Rumford, Maine? Cheap! We could buy up a whole neighborhood and make an artistic community! :) Bring along your friends and family!
bravecows, get your parents to buy you one for your birthday! ;) I'll try to make a link, but if that doesn't work it's www.realtor.com . And then we could have huge tea parties! :)
Now, completely apropos of nothing, can anyone tell me why nobody's done a fanvid of Shanghai Noon using "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other"?
