Squid knitting
Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:07:09 GMT
I'm so impressed! It's only a bit the size of a paperback at the moment,
but this morning she couldn't knit - and now she can.
Dunno why - she took herself off to the wool shop and came home and got

Productive flute

resonate with the cilia in your respiratory wossnames to help dislodge
phlegm.

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:01:26 +0000
As my phone line fell off the pole this morning (don't ask) I've not
been able to do the few things I was intending to do online today so
have been busy anagramming yet another set of railway station names
until the (non-railway) line was replaced.
