ISTM that you can't find a teaspoon because you don't have any.

Sorry - I have been plagued with red bridal satin today.


Is that a devilishly original bride, or togs for some other member of

Five bridesmaids. Rather too many for my tastes, but not as bad as the
16 I did for a weeding last summer.

Met a fella just the other day, peering out of a shed, think he said
his name was Wells ? Didn't say when he was from.
Muttering he was, worried, something about his chum Pycraft I believe.

Doh!
That would have been better if I had not mistyped and instead typed
Pyecraft.

That must have been old P. Pyecraft we found down the back of (Bob's
sofa next July.

Actually, I use the terms 'paraffin' and 'kerosene' as synonyms.
Both are abbreviations (for p. oil and k. oil) and the use of
paraffin in that sense predates the use of kerosene (by only a
few years, true).

I've got a Taylor Paraffin boat stove. The embossed brass plate on it
claims it is a "parrafin" stove. The original manufacturer denied it
was a typo.

Then the original manufacturer was wrong. Paraffin is a contraction of
'parum affinis' (little affinity) - little affinity, IIRC, with oil, and
applied originally just to the wax, but when other fractions of the wax
were made/discovered, this was applied to the whole chemical group.

It also explains why the transitional imago stage between the

No, we already know where teaspoons go. They migrate to cupboards
belonging to people like me, who don't take sugar in their tea.

Raincoats might have been appropriate. Weeding was Friday 13 August
(not West) last year. rained so hard I thought the duks were gonna move
into me hat brim... Tipped me head sideways when it got heavy, and a
coupla litres of water spilled out! I were galad I were wearing
sandals: the water just sloshed straight out of them. There are some
pix of the making on me wibble.
