And for the Queen's birthday.
We don't get the Queen's birthday off work.
I'm going to write a strongly-worded letter. To the Queen.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
which day? The one that you celebrate? Or her *actual* birthday. Jeez, must be nice. Celebrate it twice. The crazy lifestyles of royalty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We of the colonies (save WA) celebrate the Queen's Birthday on the second Monday of June. She was born on 21 April, so it's less celebrating her birthday than that she has a birthday. We could celebrate it on the actual date, but a far more important principle is at stake: ensuring we have a long weekend to open the ski season.

Scrappy, I just saw your episode of Hammerheads. Your place turned out so beautifully! I especially like how sustainable your yard looks. And the pergola and solar light details are great!
And let's hear it for neighborliness. I thought I'd completely missed the episode. But I'm helping look after Amyth's poodle while she's traveling, and when I checked out her TiVo this morning, I saw that she'd recorded it.

Our wings are not tired.
Woo! Day off work! Kinda. I did go in and fix some system stuff.
Pictures for this lazy day. Some from yesterday on the lake including my newest great nephew Cooper in his oversized life jacket. [link]
And some from Providence. [link]
Enjoy.

Our friend who's visiting from Australia gave me a Melbourne-centric cookbook. I'm having to google some of the terms. Like "yabbies."
Which I'm now totally using instead of "crawdad." And whose Latin name, Cherax destructor, is gonna be my supervillain name.

I have suffered at the pincers of a small yabbie. (My brother's doing.) Which cookbook is it?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Laura, Cooper's expression seems to indicate a certain wry understanding of the irony of being in a life jacket which is larger than he is.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Great pics Laura! Cooper is adorable! I am still looking for the plug for my camera so that I can upload my pictures.

There are a couple of goat/sheep pens in WVA where you can take a dog to run for 45 minutes, for a fee.
Ooh, I would love that for Arthur. He tries to herd the cats and they are Not Excited about that.
We didn't really do anything for the 4th. It rained, and I went to bed early. Yay. I just got up, and M is setting up Spy Central in the living room, which I am highly in favor of.
