The new ad is out and it is their best yet .... better than Carltons "The Big Ad"? ... not sure but worth a view anyway :-)

So True!

A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

Weather Update

The floods have dissipated (yes our sixth for the year) but there is still plenty of rain around. I took this shot from the headland near Abbey's earlier today.

Meet Chelsea

I spent the day with Abz discussing random subjects and generally solving the world's problems. Chelsea is a black Great Dane and one of the most beautiful animals in my life. Abbey is helping Chelsea develop her social skills (or as Abbey phrased it "Chelsea not everyone wants your face in theirs") so Chels periodically stood across the table, rested her head and just looked at me. Who could resist a face like this?

Not sure what this one is called by it was too cute to leave out.

Photo Challenge - Eating Out

I Almost Saw Philip Adams!

I was sitting in one of my favorite cafes doing my paper on Chaucer and drinking peppermint tea. The paper was pretty much finished so I paid my bill and prepared to leave when I thought I saw Philip Adams!

Wasn't I glad I was carrying Chaucer and not the New Idea lol.

Sitting at the big table near the door was a doppelganger for the great man! I couldn't really sit down again as it was obvious that I was leaving, and the person in question appeared to be a meeting-like conversation with the others seated near him so what was a girl to do? I paused and looked at some art and strained to hear his voice - a twinge of a Canadian accent and not quite deep enough made me 90% sure it wasn't him. But that left a 10% possibility that I was mistaken or that he disguised his voice in public to avoid run-ins with people like me.

I left with the situation un-resolved but I danced as I considered that today was the day that I almost saw Philip Adams.
