I had that song stuck in my head for hours yesterday. I wonder why? *g*

( Tea and scones and flowers and books )

To get the less than pleasant aspects of yesterday out of the happy post:

MCR fires their drummer

I hate to think what it took for them to publically say 'we just want him out of our lives'.

Oddly enough, the other unhappy aspect of the day was discovering that a disagreement between Missy (not there) and Rena has gone to full-on feud. Our Gang of ( Read more... )

I have comments to answer and things to talk about but they will have to wait until tomorrow because right now I am wiped.

Today there was tea and scones and flowers and Agatha Christie books at a fundraiser, then tea (lots and lots and lots of tea) with friends while we talked and laughed and talked and talked and laughed until we cried then talked ( Read more... )

We went to visit Flora's son and daughter-in-law and their nine-week-old baby today! And she is very cute with gravity-defying hair.

There is a frog on the outside of my study window. Not the first time, either. I don't think this is the same one though - this one's underside is even more unattractive. (Seriously, have you ever seen a frog's belly and sticky feet? It's not a great view.)

And with no segue - Facebook again! I was just on FB responding to an invite when a little ( Read more... )

Er, slightly belated since I got the timezones confused but still ...
