Balloons over the house this morning

This balloon seemed awfully close to the top of the house this morning. I think he might have been a bit light on for gas after taking off from Richmond - it appeared as though he put it down near the exit from the Burnley tunnel shortly after (see below!).

Down I go

Carob is a brown powder made from the pulverized fruit of a Mediterranean evergreen. Some consider carob an adequate substitute for chocolate because it has some similar nutrients (calcium, phosphorus), and because it can, when combined with vegetable fat and sugar, be made to approximate the color and consistency of chocolate. Of course, the same arguments can as persuasively be made in favor of dirt.

A bizarre sunday arvo

Last sunday we attended the 60th birthday of Paula's Auntie Robyn. Robyn took the liberty of booking Mic Conway's National Junk band about two years ago. They are bizarre!

We had a great time listening to a rubber chicken solo, watching sword swallowing, and being entertained by the nose flute.

It's easter weekend, so we're slothing around here for easter. Later I'll be making fish and chips for tea and declining Opec's timely offer of purchasing extortionately priced petrol in order to go somewhere else for a few days....

Two nights out and we're off to another party sunday afternoon

Feeling a bit old, can't keep up with nights out in a row. So the poor old dog is left at home with a bone to bury, here's some evidence.
