  Like the Family von Trapp, I'm always on the run from truculent Nazis, and so
have decided to bugger off to Crete for a week in the hope that they'll
leave off for a bit.  And so I can get a modicum of sun to my pasty skin
before SAD sets in and I sew myself into my winter coat.  In olden tymes, they
used to sew themselves into their underwear for the winter, you know.  Rather
unsanitary, but there you go.  Queen Liz I had a regular bath twice a year,
and she was considered foolish to undertake this rash endeavour so frequently.
  So, I'll just take this last chance before I go to wish well to all
Sinisterines, and especially those that I encountered last weekend on some
grass and under a rather intimate umbrella, and those who I encountered
yesterday by a river with Haribo foam sweetie products.  Kids and assorted
wildfowl love it so...
  Picnics are gorgeous things, and this season's crop have been a hoot, as
far as I can gather from various intelligences and having been at several.
Long live the twee practice.
  Have been very amused by the frothing mania which next weekend's Party in the
Parks in Oxford has been anticipated all over the local radio.  Craig David's
coming round for a cuppa and some hot lovin' action, apparently, bless his
cotton socks and little facial fungus thing.  As are the Dumdums, Madison
Avenue (don't call me baybee) etc. [insert own choice of toss pop group] etc.
Thankfully I shall be far away from Mr David and his cohorts at the time when
they're strutting their *stuff* in the vicinity.  He's a pretty lad and all,
but doew he have to rule the airwaves?  Sheesh.  I used to read Smash Hits
religiously.  How those innocent days have been forgotten...
   Tara a bit, then.
 
  Liz :x               "Love without hope, as when the young birdcatcher
                        Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter;
                        So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
                        Singing about her head, as she rode by."  Robert Graves
