Wine tasting and family sounds good, Robyn. I've had a good weekend - went to Bath Kids Lit festival yesterday (blogged it here and today have been relaxing at home with the weekend papers.

Had, in my case and it felt really short (I am sure somebody must be stealing some of my free time).
Food has been produced - some of it eaten even - tisane made and drunk, quick poem written and posted, there isn't much left to do but to get ready for the night and plunge under the covers with a book.

Nope, hot tubs never get boring. We opted for a jetted bathtub since we had power limitations and couldn't get a dedicated circuit for the outdoor tub (plus have a small backyard). But that never gets boring either!!

My mom, stepdad, grandma and my mom's cousin are on their way over. Cousin's from NC and wants to go wine tasting so I'm going to take them to a local place that's pretty and close but still decent. Not the best wine in the world but good and they're not connoisseurs anyway! ;-)

Hope everyone's having (or had, depending on your locale) a lovely weekend!

Hi Na! I suspect we are not too far behind you weather-wise.

..what!?! No hitting!

Wilds of NC? I beg your pardon - we are not wild here - well let me rethink that...

Went to a bookstore in Asheville NC last week - they are entering the contest to have the best Graveyard Book Halloween party. One of the staff is a big fan of the Boss, so they have 2! dedicated sections for him, with fun facts about him and posters. A great independent bookstore - Malaprops. So I had to buy Smoke and Mirrors as it was the only book by him that I don't have.

Morning!

No, Emily, hot tuns never get boring.

My modem is a DSL cable too. Not liking this on the floor bit. Must find the power chord to the other computer.

Lovely morning with Bengals, off to work shortly. Bringing the Skelly home tonight, we will see if this bathtub idea is a workable one. You never really know with these things, sometimes they work in your head. but don't quite end up like you thought.

I'll do a new post tonight and we will see.

Hello Fiends!

Love the bee post and "Oody Garland" made me laugh.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

beeees!

no bees here. Winter has sent its harbingers, Wind and Cold. i imagine bees and suchlike critters are holing up. we're supposed to get freezing low temps later in the week. *ack*

No WiFi? How will you survive?
When the wifi went out on my old laptop I had to give up my usual spot on the couch and take the laptop into another room to be connected. It just wasn't right!

Of course, tonight I really shouldn't be on the internet because I have a bunch of pictures to process. I was out at the Ft. Snelling Upper Post taking pictures today. Lots of cool old buildings out there.

Does a hot tub ever get boring?

Tomorrow is not going to be a REAL Sunday. But it's worth it. Church choir in the morning, which is just sort of refreshing in its way. Sounds a bit odd, I know. And then a YUGA (Youth United for Global Awareness) meeting. My first. Should be a most interesting three hours.

2009-09-26T21:19:41.024-05:00

We're still on a modem-- though it's a flashy dsl modem with lights and whatnot. Wireless is still a mysterious, foreign concept to me, as are things like Why Fie and blue teeth. I like plugs. I know where I am with plugs. SCSI all the way, man.

Just listened to your Scary Owl. I dig a Scary Owl! That's one I've never heard before.

Lovely day hanging out with Elyse Marshell, who was in town for the Midwest booksellers event. Had a fine time working all day and then cooking dinner.

Seems to be nine on a saturday night. I am thinking LA Ink, then bed. DO not pass hot tub....

Early day and a long one tomorrow. Then work starts for real on Monday.

Brought a better computer over tonight, to replace this very old one that seems to no longer want to speak to my wireless thing.

(I am typing on the floor, tethered to the modem. How archaic)

I am power cord challenged. SO new (but still older than my current at work, my one before that if you see what I mean) sits, by itself, looking sleek, but doing nothing.

Yup, hysteria about teens carrying knives (after all, it's not as though they can pick them up at home if they can't buy them...) means no knives to under 16, plus people getting paranoid about 'Health & safety' - usually when quoted it turns out that the Health & Safety Executive didn't issue any any such recommendation...

I'm feeling happy. just bought tickets for JoCo & Paul&Storm on 15th Nov, and also for Mitch Benn on (IIRC) 5th Nov.

2009-09-26T15:12:26.039-05:00

seriously? i had no idea, what a silly rule. i really think it's somewhat silly to go to a library and ask for scissors. honestly i don't know if i'd loan mine out, but not because i was scared of someone hurting me, more because i'd be scared they would steal it.

2009-09-26T14:04:51.978-05:00

It's news because of the very odd policies regarding sharp objects in the UK.

Friend of a friend was carded when buying plastic cutlery. You know, picnicware. It's illegal to sell knives to anyone under 16, and the clerk was taking the rule very literally.

I am dutifully working today despite the great urge to spend a rainy Saturday curled up on the couch with dog, cat, novel.

Hi Lorraine, I came via twitter...

Update on my earlier comments! I went to a food festival today and there was a nice lady there from the UK beekeepers association. I asked her the question and she told me that how long a worker bee lives depends on the time of year that they hatched. So in the height of summer they live 3-4 weeks, but ones from later in the year can last up to a year! Everyone's right!
