I must stop making wide sweeping generalisations about the English.
But they're all mad.
As Flea likes to say, "how did they ever run an empire?"
Speaking of Flea - she sent me a package from HK yesterday containing some asian good luck dangly things (incl. glass chilis!) a short illustrated history of the British colonisation of Hong Kong and a copy of Chairman Mao's glorious excuse for killing and displacing thousands of people quotations.
The thing on the left is my set of keys. These are Teacher Keys. They are on an industrial strength keychain and lanyard (for security purposes and general neckaches).
Another package arrived yesterday containing Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere (a naughty little gift I bought myself on Amazon).
My day today has been made all the more grand bc I now have a contraption that adequately strains tea - until darling Marve's care package arrives.
pea ess- have just realised all the dates of my entries are wrong by +10hours since my computer's still set to EST.
