Sean, it sounds like you are having an awesome time! I'm so glad, and a wee bit jealous!
Buffista parents really should write a parenting book on how to raise geeky kids.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The Buffista sprog stories are made of awesome.
It's 30 degrees C here. The weather appears to have forgotten that we're in England. I am making iced tea.

Aw, bionic kitty made me cry!
The crying researcher made me cry.
Note: if accidentally purchased instead of regular oats, this does NOT make good cobbler topping.
However, you can bathe in it.

And that it's Wimbledon fortnight. The tube is revolting.
Elderflower beer for me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sean, I'm incredibly glad you're having an awesome time!
DCJ, speedy healing vibes to you. Also, that story about the bionic kitty really made me both teary and beamish. We rescued our feral because he had a traumatic amputation of the left hind foot. It would have been wonderful if that treatment had been available for him (and if we could have afforded it, of course). But the possibilities for human amputees are amazing.
Fred, I'm sending all good vibes for Max and his humans.
I'm reading all the oatmeal talk with a head tilt, like the RCA dog. You boil water, add ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, pinch each of sugar and salt, stir in rolled oats, turn burner down to simmer, set timer (MOST important, LOUD timer) and go do your hair or makeup or shine your shoes. When timer goes off you turn off the burner, and sometime in the next twenty minutes you have yummy oatmeal. How hard is that?
Is it texture issues you guys are avoiding with the steel ground and the presoaking and the glayvin? I get that--can't eat pears or cooked squash, here. But to me, at least, the texture is something about oatmeal that I love.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Seska, is England like Ireland in that only plants drink cold tea? If so, I'm impressed.

Sean, it sounds like your trip's going great!
Much Max~ma, Fred.
I had too much Tandoori food for lunch and now I want to nap for the rest of the afternoon.

Jars, why have I not heard of elderflower beer? I love elderflower!

Dunno! It's awesome! I make it every summer! This is a decent recipe, although it's called elderflower champagne here -

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The basillica contains the tombs of Galileo galilei and guglielmo Marconi.
This is what passes for a religious experience for me.
Oh, wow. That is indeed truly awesome.
