I sang it! It sort of worked. Sing fast in some bits and very sloooooow in others but all in all, a triumph.
The dog packed and left home halfway through.
I second Un. I like your blogs.
And Z, oh wow, you look absolutely fabulous fantastic yikes! How long did it take to grow that beard? And I hope your sun-baked person doesn't get too chilled on that long delivery night on the 24th. Wrap up really really well.
I hope you get some interest in your book before the mods delete the blog but there are lots of writers and people selling or marketing products here and the blogs would be horrendous if selling was allowed.
LJ, watch 'Sliding Doors'. Not at all like River, a romcom, but a thought-provoking what-if scenario. Well, I liked it, despite the romcom angle.
I'm not not not not not going to make blog-type comments if I can help myself. This is about saying something different. But I'm going ooh, awww, and raising my eyebrows, as though I was making those comments, okay?

Well, if we're going to share 50 shades of grey hair, I will leave you for the night with this one. Don't imagine the mods will let it stay up long with the swearie but it made me laugh.
"Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
Got some grandparent jokes in my email today. I don't know why. I'm not a grandmother. But then there are glamorous granny competitions with contestants in their early THIRTIES so I guess I am just a late starter. Again.
Anyway.
A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said... "How do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."
Memories for Christmas
LJ, September!
