Catch Breath

Amazing, how doing so little can take up so much time.

When I went for a walk this afternoon, I saw kids playing basketball in shorts and t-shirts. How do they do that in this weather? How do they find the time to do it at all?

Are there no chores?

Are there no prisons?

Are there no workhouses?

And, in various front yards, I have seen a new Christmas oddity. It is a white spiral of what is probably some sort of plastic, shaped into a tree-like cone, lined with blinking lights, with a lit star at the top. The latest seasonal lawn ornament, it seems. I guess some people love the holidays because it gives them the chance to display astonishing things in their yards. Well.

Well.

Well....

*lol* I like that, can you send some of them over here, we could burn them because we are too poor to afford fuel and are running out of first born children to burn :-p

We might be induced to send over a few, in exchange for some of that nice dark beer. That would be quite as valuable as oil, I'm sure. And probably just as productive of heat, though probably not of energy.

You mean Guiness, or water from the Thames, they both have the same poisonous qualities...

Guinness is actually easy to come by here. I was thinking more of some of the brews about which blackcustard is always posting. Very local products, apparently. I've never heard of most of them.

Nor have I, we just have the normal type lagars and bitters here, all of which are perfectly acceptable for getting plastered though :P
