"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know! But to them they're ordinary movements. I just have to calm myself, because the hummingbirds are totally chill. They just look completely frenetic to me.

Although my big fear is getting in the way of the endless and brutal hummingbird battles.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's true, if I could be sure they didn't want to impale me I would trust them not to. But sometimes they are very angry that I have let the sugar supply get too low. And they are always angry with each other, it appears, so there might be bleed over from that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Angry hummingbirds? Make them giant and you'd have a SyFy movie.

eta: Or, you know, an iPod game app.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Etiquette Week: How To Dine Out Without Being A Jerk

Restaurant Toilets Are for Peeing and Periods
Make an adult effort to evacuate your bowels at home or (if you must) at the office. Unless a dire digestive situation present itself, feces belong nowhere near a toilet at a restaurant, nice or otherwise. Fumes waft.

Seriously?

Although once while in the bathroom of a McDonalds a guy complained how I had smelled it up, so I dunno....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ita, which cookbook? I really should get around to trying my ice cream maker one of these days. We now have a freezer big enough.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I doubt that most of us, given the choice, PREFER to use restaurant bathrooms for our bowels. I have been out and about enough (especially post-removal of gall bladder) that I don't often have the luxury to run back home and get my business done.

We are human beings. We smell. Oh well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
