Tim Vine jokes. Merriment.
Cake.
It's raining and windy and grey and I just got soaked on a dog walk so any cake will do. I should have made one yesterday but was busy ironing. Banana bread tonight then.
Red wine, after a week on the wagon taking a no-booze antibiotic
The wobble on a good hot dog. This one hadn't occurred to me, but it is true, and this video link of the WobbleDog 9003i in action makes an incontrovertible case.

I shall now pause to observe a moment of silence for the few dogs injured during these experiments.

Still sunny at 16:00 on a Friday afternoon in January. Longer days in lockdown.
My car passed its MOT. First time for ages. That means I can still legally drive to Waitrose (one mile). The open-ended freedom this endows me with is positively scary.
More red wine. And more....
A dog sleeping on your lap and cherry coke with grenadine or pomegranate juice.
Waking up with a pulse and apparently Covid-free. Thanks to RFLT.

[Stevie] I'm on a diet. As of now.
Playing "Take the first line of a novel" and then add "And then the dragons arrived." There are so many that work surprisingly well.

Of course, Harry Potter, LOTR, The Hobbit, and 1984 have all been popular ones.

These have been my contributions:

Not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine. And then the dragons arrived.

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone 84 days now without taking a fish. And then the dragons arrived.

Alice was getting very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do. And then the dragons arrived.
Marmalade tea and individually wrapped slices of quail salami.
Seeing on and working on my art car. Also, having others add to it.
Getting quite pissed on brandy and visiting the Morniverse, which is full of my type of people. (KagomeShuko) Are you sure you'e in the right game?
