A moment from a relatively tranquil week at a cottage, tranquil except for the part where I locked myself out with dinner on the stove and had to break a window to get in before the place burned down, and of course cut myself doing it, but otherwise tranquil.

Woo hoooo !!
On the occasion of our offer to purchase being accepted, Bob and Lynda celebrate the beginning of the Barkwhistle era. “Larkwhistle” is the name of a world-famous country garden in the Lion’s Head area, which we have visited many times, and what with our many dogs, and the new home’s lovely perennial garden, we landed on “Barkwhistle” as the name for the new digs.

Cheers!!

Almost all of our HMMWVs in Afghanistan come with a Taliban camera, of one caliber or another. They use many different types of film. The camera also works on al Qaeda, Hezb-i-Islami, plus individual terrorist assholes and scumbags. The result is all good 🙂

It’s THIRTY-SIX DEGREES out today. Not the good 36, the 36 that says “can spring be far behind” or even, “glad I brought my jacket”. The 36 that makes you wish you could “take off your skin, and dance around in your bones”
