I prefer whispering to shouting - far more menacing on this Halloween night. Mind you, the moon was full a couple of nights ago - and now it's pouring down outside, not such a spooky feel as fog.

Describing oneself as a "waste management operative" is just a posh way of saying you're a dustman.

I generally avoid reading Augustine like the plague, but I admit to some curiosity on whether he kept written contact with Adeodatus or provided for his son's mother after Monica pushed him into an arranged betrothal with an eleven-year-old. If he didn't, he was an even bigger jerk than I had believed.

So I have these really tasty peppers—Datils—from St. Augustine, Florida. They make a really killer pork stew with lemon verbena and black beans; something about the sharp, citrus flavor of the peppers works so well.

I spent several hours re-paving around our courtyard yesterday afternoon; and now am suffering hay fever from having been outside so long. The poplar trees in our area seem to be having a mass ejaculation of stuff that floats in the air for a very long time.
There is so much tree sperm about that I am now wondering how come the whole world isn't covered in poplar trees????

Eggs are a popular breakfast food. Did you know that the slogan "Go to work on an egg" was made up by the writer Antonia White
( Frost in May , etc) ?
Which reminds me that Dorothy Sayers--who had also worked in advertising--imagined, in a crime novel set in an advertising company, one of her characters thinking up an ad for margarine which brilliantly paraphrased Sydney Carlton's last words in A Tale of Two Cities : "It is a far, far butter thing...."

It was hilarious when Alice in the Vicar of Dibley said
"Well, I can't believe the stuff that is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. And I can't believe that both I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and the stuff that I can't believe is not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter are both, in fact, not butter. And I believe... they both might be butter... in a cunning disguise. And, in fact, there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was."
