You know, there might be a zeppelin in the garage and elephant catapults on the roof, and he still cannot master the complex topographical processes of loading the dishwasher, but I still have a damn fine Evil Landlord. Apart from his cheerful acceptance of lawful-good-tenants-in-law occupying the house for months at a time, the fact that he keeps ( Read more... )

Thank you. I am glad you like them.

I think Frog took one of them.

Possibly, but as I recollect it was you who printed them out and sent them to me, so gratitude! the foursome of photos in those frames make me very, very happy.

That is a damn fine cabinet.

a. That cabinet is fab!

b. He is a crazy man, but in a good way, viz. extending your study.

c. I might have just used viz. incorrectly. :-)

d. His laurel has carefully instructed him to send her a photo of said cabinet. He is probably going to try and weasel out of that by saying I must have seen it since I read your blog. :-P

e. I remember your "growing pains" with the garage, and I'm sure you're overjoyed that you'll get to do THAT part of remodeling again! When you're done with this, will there be any garden left in the back, or will you be right up against the wall?

Yup, will still be a good couple of metres of clearance between the house and the wall. Enough for the washing line, I hope, otherwise washdays are going to get seriously interesting.

He can't tell you to read my blog, he doesn't read my blog so won't know I've posted it. I am, in fact, saying nice things about my Evil Landlord behind his back.

You have also just caused me to look up "viz." on Wikipedia. You have used it in its generally accepted sense, viz. to offer more detail on a statement, so it equates to "namely".

Do you mean to suggest that the EL is in fact Bad Horse?! (*gasp*)

Re: the thoroughbred of sin extemporanea August 14 2009, 19:57:28 UTC

As Evil goes, I'm arguing he's particularly fine and vintage. That may, indeed, make him Bad Horse, although I didn't say that if it's going to annoy Bad Horse.
