tree_and_leaf- 21:54 How can I have so many emails in my inbox? I've been away from my computer less than 24 hours! *weeps* #
- 21:54 @ParrotKnight Are you saying you have a problem with bagpipe music? ;) #
- 22:10 Not to mention up to skip=100 on the flist! #
- 22:17 skip=60 even with the communities ifltered out (lots of people had a slow day at work? ;) ) #
- 22:43 So the Overly Spontaneous Burns Night is happening, but I am still not clear how many people are actually coming. Sounds perfect... #
- 23:23 @ParrotKnight I suspected it was the rugby songs, really... though I admit that piping is best enjoyed at a distance. (A German friend of #
- 23:24 ...mine claims to think it would be romantic to have a piper in church at a wedding. Only if it's either a cathedral or has no roof, I feel! #
- 23:30 Socially awkward situation: friend who had originally refused invitation to Burns thing now wants to come, as _her_ guests have cancelled. #
- 23:32 And bring her bf (who I don't like, but that's by the way). I'd invited a two more people to make up numbers,& it begins to get unmanagable #
- 23:33 Oh well, the more the merrier. Of course, we don't have enough chairs, but we'll cope some how. (Note to self: buy more haggis). #
- 00:23 What, no Tolkien on the Grauniad's "Fanatsy and SF books you must read" list? Are they mad? #
- 00:26 ... Take it back, it's under the special 'imagined worlds' rubric, with Narnia. I think the layout is ill adapted to a website... #
- 10:30 Just saw a Who fic described as Ten/ Blair. Apparently a crossover with Gossip Girl, but my brain is still broken by what I thought it was. #
- 10:34 @angevin2 Texture? Of course, some things just taste better cold... #
- 14:43 Change of plan: not cranachan proper, but raspberries with toasted oatmeal and honey and whisky sauce (don't wish to give guests heartburn!) #
- 14:44 ... er, and yoghurt. Would be a bit dry otherwise! #
- 15:11 *checks wording of 'To a Haggis'* #

- 16:33 *is rather surprised to be told she's a far-left moderate libertarian* #
- 16:45 Ack, I'm about to be late for Evening Prayer... #
- 17:42 *g* Headline on front page of Church times, illustrated by man with camel: "Aunt Dot would be envious" #
- 18:03 I think the correct tool for dealing with a turnip may, in fact, be an axe. Or a hacksaw, at least. #
- 18:32 Am not at all impressed with the quality of the covered market potatoes. I think it may be Tesco next time... #
