If KH had got her citronella round her ankles and the anklebiters were about 
I found Vaseline on the door handles worked a treat....

Mr Pinny and I listened to the news reports on American telly, about the 
"Sub-mar-een-ers". We thought that the correct pronunciation for this is 
"sub-MARRiners" as in Ancient (Sub-)Mariners, but unfotunately the BBC 
only referred to them as the crew of the submarine. (Clearly they 
weren't risking it.)

I'd love to hear if they were Cumbrian, and also what the thoughts are 
on the pronunciation of this. It's a shame that Johnny, with his 
nautical ancestry and linguistic feet on both sides of the Pond, is 
presently beached up the River. How's that for metaphoric contortions?

I've always said "sub-MARRiners" and can't remember hearing it pronounced 
another way.

Look at the "Russian president thanks rescuers" item, it mentions a Cumbrian 
firm

I wanted to be an astronaut but it wasn't one of the jobs on offer in those 
days. No bugs in the space shuttle.

Oh you sexy thing you. Do you have a G stri...oops! Sorry. Water fascinates
me.

I have been to town today. There was this lad standing across from the cafe
playing guitar and singing for the people sitting outside.

"Oh no never, oh no never no mow-wer." Said he came from the south so I gave
him 2 to shoot oop. I'm sick of hearing the blooming Irish Rover. Never did
liked it anyhow.

I have a similar problem. I frequently waken up at 2, 3 or 4am, and I'm 
plum tuckered by 9pm. I think that's why I didn't really feel jet lagged 
when I visited Keswick. I was already on British Summer time, 5 hours 
ahead of NY Time.

Hey, I don't like it either, but I'll sing The Wild Rover for anyone who 
wants at two quid a time. Easy - if somewhat boring - money.

Let's see - it's only got 4 verses and 4 choruses - can't take more than 2 
minutes to sing the whole song. If I sang it continuously for an hour, each 
time lasting 2 minutes, I'd make 60. 60 an hour isn't bad money. After an 
average 8 hour day I'd have earned 480. That's over 2000 a week. I could 
cope with that for a wee while: stick all my takings in the bank until I 
really did have the screaming heeby-jeebies from singing the same dreadful 
song repeatedly for several weeks, but then I'd be rich so I could retire 
early, move to an island in the sun and sing the songs I really liked for 
free.

Well, if it wants screwing up I can think of noone better than thee. But as 
for where, I can think of numerous places. Hows about the back of the 
bathroom door for His 'n' Hers bath-robes fer now. Or maybe on the verandah 
to hang towels for when the puddles start to form....

The Yanks are planning to cause global warming on Mars, using the 
atmospheric pollutants created in the manufacture of microprocessors, 
and melt its polar icecap. Thereby they hope to creat an atmosphere 
which could sustain a 7/11 and a WalMart, which would meet most human 
requirements, depending on Martian liquor licensing laws.

Oops, sorry, wrong rover. You were talking about the *Irish* one, whereas I 
was remembering the *Wild* one. The Irish one is definitely longer, and I 
particularly don't like it because there's a character in it somewhere 
called, "Johnny McGurk who scared stiff of work..." which is a terrible slur 
upon my clan, all of whom are very industrious and hard workers to a man. 
And a woman.

Hiya Edith,

Had the day off work today, walked too far on Saturday and the arthritis has 
flared up :-(

I could barely move my left leg on Saturday evening and all day Sunday, my 
knee and hip were so stiff, been taking quite a few ibuprofen since then and 
it's getting better, should be able to drive to work tomorrow!

GP told me off this morning for not swallowing my pride and getting a bus or 
taxi home! But apart from crippling myself, it was a good walk and I had a 
great pub lunch and found another geocache!

How's you, enjoy your trip to Cumbria?

Andy - on his wireless laptop

That's funny. My neck shoulder and fingers haked something awful last night
and kept me awake. I was only one step away from insanity so off I went to
the doctor to tell my tale. I didn't get by reseption but the reseptionist
looked at my hand and said tale one ibrufen and a paracetamol, so I did
which put me on Rennies

They're natural something from a plant in Tahiti, awfully expensive but
maybe you can get off the chemicals with them, and they taste like ohh!

Good points. But they were cracked and had leaky valves when you 
"sold" them to us. Actually, the truth is those four boats are 
all different inside despite being called the same class. So 
they are difficult to master and maintain. And the Canadian Navy 
can't find enough people to crew them properly.

Did you hear we may be going to war with Denmark? A battle of 
military titans to be sure. I hope we can count on Britain for 
support just as we came to yours in WWI and WWII. Iraq is 
another matter altogether.

That's what I like... unconditional support.

(However, I was, (and still am) against our "adventure" in Iraq.

Tony Blur was stupid not to take notice of the biggest demo in London's

Whaaaat? A war between Canada and Denmark? Sounds like one of the early 
rounds of the World Cup. What on earth would you be fighting about?

But as far as I know Canada is still part of the rapidly diminishing 
Commonwealth, so I guess Britain would have to support you. (I still don't 
understand the excuses for supporting the shrub's military endeavours, 
though....) Poor old Denmark. What have they done to deserve this?

Maybe all the other Scandinavian countries would come in to support Denmark, 
and then we'd find ouselves at war with Norway. Edith might not be allowed 
to come home for a visit anymore. In fact she might be interned as an enemy 
alien. Dear dear....

Is there still a Commonwealth? I think they still have the 
Commmonwealth Games but they are just so some of us can win at 
something because the Americans aren't invited.

Oh, I hope not. I have a friend in the Norwegian Navy. I think 
most of those countries couldn't give a toss about each other 
actually. They sure joke about each other enough.

I see. Sounds like a joke until you think about possible north-polar

If it's called Hans Island it belongs to Hans

Off to look at small dead animals, oh dear.

btw One of the best series I've ever seen was The way to Avilon or summet.
It was so fine a series, I had to every day watch it. And there was the
return of the whales, a good one to. About two old ladies that lived on the
coast in a big old house.Great stuff. Wish these two would be sent again.

Gives a better idea and the wikipedia entry has some good stuff:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island

Looks like it all boils down to some suit avoiding the issue when the 
border was drawn up in 1973.

My upsumming of this affair is :-

If you men were more engaged with the strategic points of women you wouldn't
have enough time nor energy to be squabbling about military strategic point.
Honest! Men!

Strategically, Edith.

Right. They didn't realise the potential for transport, oil and 
minerals back then. Neither could be arsed to assume 
responsibility for it then. Now they are both sending military 
ships to establish sovereignty.

If you want to win, stock beer. The Danes can't say no to beer. They'll swap
you the island for a six pack.

I don't know if you've ever watched a bar full of Danes watch their 
national team play football. It's really wierd. We were in France, 
during the World Cup in 1998. We stopped at a campsite half way between 
Zeebrugge and the Italian frontier, and Mr P soon found the campsite bar 
which had a TV to watch that evening's game, alongside a large party of 
Danes, who were also passing through. They sat there with their 
pressions, and when their team scored a goal they remained in their 
seats, smiling and clapping their hands with interest, but total 
composure and politeness, as if they were maths teachers at a school 
concert.

(It was a Danish ref who gave the Argies the game against England and 
knocked us out of the tournament, and we had to cheer for Holland and 
Croatia. I can nurse a grudge like the best of 'em.)

Aww.  That was so sad, Ally.  When I first arrived in Keswick and phoned it 
was while you were dealing with the loss of one of them.

Surely there are kittens close by that need to be adopted by a loving

You'd think so, wouldn't you? I guess if I started phoning round the animal 
rescue charities I'd track some down, but I'm still holding out for kittens 
that sort of find me, rather than the other way about. Every time I hear 
about a litter I'm just too late - they've all been homed.

I understand.  The best dog we had was Ginger.  She was found (or should I 
say she found us) down by the river.  Someone had just dumped her and the 
rest of the litter there.  A Collie and German Shepherd mix, fantastic with 
kids, very loving and loyal dog.

Steve tells the story of how when he was a kid, and their cat had died, he 
went for a walk shortly after the sad event and found a kitten by the road, 
lost. Probably someone had thrown it out of a car or something. It lived 
with them for years, and was still there, a very elderly, wise cat, when I 
first met him.

When we still had all 3 cats there was a stray which kept wandering into the 
house on summer nights when we left the back door open. Our cats chased it 
of course. Now that I'd *like* a stray to wander in, it never happens...

They can tell you're brooding.... Broody women can be hell... Maybe you just 
scare them off.

I may end up doing this. Though I'm very specific about what I want. I don't 
want to rehome a grown-up cat with hang-ups. I want 2 kittens, brother and 
sister, who can spend a happy and long life together. I don't mind taking in 
second-hand dogs (I've already done my bit there!) but I want *new* cats...

Hello Johnatan. We had a rain storm a couple of days ago, had to hang onto
my markiser while I wound them in, then today the sun came up and people are
still bathing in the fjord.

Lovely. We've been for coffee and cakes at my son's house to celebrate his
yesterday's birthday and I'm propp full of cakes-again. I went to town today
and people were sitting outside the cafes again.

My new specs arrived from England yesterday. Mentioning cash, the whole
alabaloo cost only 4000 NOKs compaired to 7500 NOKs without the eye test.
Much cheaper even including my flight.

Thumbs down for Norway.Gees! Ripoffland.
Edith.

Nice to hear your weather has improved if not your spelling.

Is it just me or does your son always have a party going on at 
his house?

And I'm impressed you beat the Norwegian eyeglass syndicate out 
of a few NOKs and had a holiday to boot.

Perhaps when you need your dentures replaced you could swing a 
world tour!

Bwaaahahahaaaa. You're funny. I tried it. I just wasn't accepted in so short
notice.

My son is very sociable. He really impressed me yesterday evening, with his
white shirt and tie and new black suit. He is in reception during the
weekend and behind the bar, night shift, 200 guests, at The Grand Ocean
Hotel as he has Watchman/politi thingie schooling for it and works 7 days a
week at his old job and has his little lad every other week and on
Wednesdays. He's a good lad. Good pickings if some nice girl should come
along, not one with a sweet smile and dollars flashing in her eyes but one
with her feet on the ground and a decent education and not even that if she
can treat him well and genuinely care for him. Do such young ladies exist
any more, Johnny?

Edith hurting too.

It is.

 I bought a nice warm jacket at one of the hippy stalls at SolFest today. 
Made in Nepal. All knitted brightly coloured wool with a fleece lining. 
Lovely. I've been wearing it ever since. I can't believe I need something as 
warm as that in August.

Oh shut up, you and your proper long hot summer....

Mind you, it's been really nice today. Sunshine and clear blue skies. Just 
perfect for the August Bank Holiday. And tonight the sky is perfectly clear 
and full of stars. I stood at the back of my house earlier and gazed at the 
Milky Way, blazing brightly overhead. It's not often you see it so clearly. 
Must go out for a bit more before I go to bed.

Sounds like you did pretty well. Do the Hippy Stalls supply underwear? 
I understand from my mother-in-law (who thinks that I might need 
emergency supplies from the UK) that there isn't a pair of knickers to 
be had in Britain at present, thanks to the embargo on Chinese clothing 
imports. If anyone's really desperate, contact me. I have Macy's. You 
can often get some great Three for the price of two deals  on their 
occasional bonus sale days.

It's 76 degrees at 20:31 local time here in Lawn Guy Land, and 
unpleasantly sticky.

Everything is fine in hot sticky Satsuma.  I noticed a cool breeze (well
relatively cool compared to the ambient 95) on the third level of the car
park at lunch time today and there were a few cool gusts while pumping
petrol at 6 pm other than that its normal.

Colder here, Jp. 10C+ when I got up at 7 am. Now 12C+  lots of birds
gathering, eating anything they can find.

When I was in USA there were so many beautiful garments in the shops. Things
you could only dream of here. The lady in Kentucky loaned me her night gown
and dressing gown set, it was brown silk and beautiful.

Edith-none feminine clothes land and cheap, less quality import land.

See? It's not all bad. Of course, we have the good daytime 
weather and the clear skies at night. Except for the next few 
days as Katrina blows through.

The Rolling Stones have been in town. They did a concert Sunday 
evening and have stayed to shoot a video. If it wasn't for 
Katrina, I don't think we'd be getting any news of the world 
other than the minute by minute movements of Mick, Charlie and 
Keith. I'm not interested to be honest.

Thank goodness for streaming radio. BBC Radio Cumbria lead 
story: Katrina.

When I went back outside it had gone all hazy. Hmph. Oh, well, I got a bit 
of a look earlier.

I saw the Rolling Stones in Edinburgh when I was a young teenager. Twice. 
*And* got my photo taken with Keith Richards. (Now if I could just remember 
the very safe place I'd put it away in, I'd stick a copy of it on the net.)

I'm surprised there wasn't a stall with brightly coloured knitted or 
tie-dyed knickers, now you mention it. They had just about everything else.

It's a great place to buy a bargain. There are lots of Levi's outlets 
and also discount stores, where you can stock up on Ralph Lauren and 
DKNY, Liz Claiborne and very occasionally, a Dior off-the-rack, for peanuts.

So you won't be making a two story tent then? Green tents are 'in' you know.
Anyhow, send me half the bread and I'll send you some more, poor knickerless

Yes, and I treasure the photo I had taken with you, Kez. In fact, you can 
tell which one I feel is more important: I know where the photo with you is, 
whereas I haven't a clue where the one with KR is.

He wasn't an aging rocker when I was a teenager, anyway.

You'd need waterproof knickers to make a tent, and I don't think I want to

We went to a local village - Langham - event on Bank Hol Monday. They have 
stalls outside every house to get rid of their rubbish.   Maybe a balcony 
sale for you? There was nothing half as interesting at Langham, as your junk 
sounds.

Rex. I'm in shock. I have a room out in the outer hall where I put things I
don't need for the moment. I thought I'd go out there and tidy up and find
some fleas for the flea market. I phoned them. They don't accept fridges and
cookers-both working too-but they are red and I hate the colour of red.
Anyhow, I started to rummage and I have so much stuff that I don't need,
can't use, don't want to part with, but, but, that I almost had a seizure.
I'll need a container to get rid of everything. I can hardly get in there
and it's my painting room. I need a plan. Think Edith. Think.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOrly!!!!!!!! Oh, he's at work. Why do men always go to work
when you need them.

So do I, Rex. It's great fun. I have 3 bags of clothes, but no knickers.
Pieces of wood, a pile of old LPs that I plan to have recorded onto discs,
cushions, drawings/paintings, a set of drawers full of bottles ad bits and
pieces etc etc etc Whaaaaars the smelling salts!

Poor Edith.

Hmm. What are your LPs? Anything good? And surely the paintings aren't any

If you were trying to get rid of cookers & fridges around here you'd get in 
touch with a company at Flimby that recycle old white (or in this case, red) 
goods. They train unemployed people to repair and refurbish things like 
this, so if you bring in your old cooker, they'll strip it down, service it, 
and sell it to someone who can't afford a brand new one, usually with a 3- 
or 6-month guarantee. I think they're great!

There's also a thing called the FreeCycle network - www.freecycle.org - 
where you can advertise things you don't want and others on the mailing list 
can come and claim them. I'm getting rid of my old car this way 
(hopefully... fingers crossed he takes it away...) (no, not the red one!) 
FreeCycle has groups all round the world, and I notice there's an Oslo group 
(the only one in Norway) here - 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OsloFreecycle/ - with 29 members at the 
moment.You have to be a member of Yahoo Groups to join, but there might be 
someone in Oslo who's prepared to drive to Horten to pick up a free RED!!! 
cooker & fridge.

I have a room like yours Edith. It's on top of the house. It's enormous and 
it's full. It's called the attic. Oh dear....

They were last here 40 years ago when I was not yet a teenager. 
So that means we can expect them back in 2045. I'll be in my 
nineties and they will be over 100. You could get a 'then and 
now' photo with Mick.

Oh CUSS! You didn't tell me about THAT room, grumble, buggery, grumble. Be
prepared!

We have a free recycle place just down the road. I can see the roof from my
front verandah. I've been hanging on to the fridge and cooker for a good
while because they're an expensive type. Nobody wants them so I'll have Orly
drive them down there on Thursday.

Aha! So you're not wanting to get rid of them after all! Thought not. You'll 
just do as I do - open the boxes and bags, look at things for a while, put 
them back in their boxes and stack them a bit more neatly than they were 
before. You'll remove a very small carrier bag of stuff for charity, and a 
smaller one for the rubbish bin. You'll have spent a whole day doing this, 
and you'll feel sort of like you've done something useful, but all you'll 
have is almost the same amount of junk as previously, but in different 
piles, and you'll maybe have cleared a few square feet of floor space in the 
process. This new space will, of course, fill up with new junk over the next 
few weeks, when you'll find you've actually got *more* junk than you had 
before you had your clear-out.

What? You want me to lock you in the attic? I hope you like mice, 'cause 
they breed there, amongst the polystyrene chippings.

The fridge doesn't have a freeze box but would be perfect if I filled it
with beer cans. Trouble is, it's big, very tall.

If I'd only lived nearer New Orleans

Hope something is done for these people very soon.

I wish people wouldn't write songs like that.

Seen the lights go out Broadway
I saw the Empire State laid low
And life went on beyond the Palisades
They all bought Cadillacs
And left there long ago

They held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the island bridges blow
They turned our power down
And drove us underground
But we went right on with the show -

It runs in our family. I still have the boxes my parents filled with stuff 
that's too interesting to chuck out without some serious sorting through. 
And if you think that's bad enough, I also have a couple of trunks of my 
granny's stuff, a box of books and assorted paraphernalia belonging to my 
great-grandfather and a suitcase full of papers from my late auntie's late 
husband. In our family, we hoard other people's hoardings. The trouble is, 
some of this stuff is really quite old now, and probably worth a bit of 
money. Even the receipt issued when my granny first got electric light put 
into our flat in Edinburgh in 1927 is probably of value to a collector. 
Hell, it's of value to me, still. It's family history. How many people have 
still got things like that?

All I remember of Mic Jagger was from his girly years when me Dad sat
watching TV , with a mug o tea in his hand, has he used to do and on TV
crowds cheering for Mic when on comes Jagger - in a dress - und me Dad sez,
"That's bloody awful. It's disgusting." I spent the rest of that summer
wondering if Mic had an inward curve or an outward curve. After "Little Red
Rooster" it was hard to fathum.

Do you still use them? I told you about my little egg pan from the Buffallo 
exhibition in 187-something, which I still use, but there are others...

Crawling all over me when I roll on the grass; sleeping in my lap; my two 
favourite ones cuddling up asleep on my pillow at night....

I couldn't eat one.

No, I'm sure I couldn't...

My front windowsill is decorated with hundreds of squirrels: toys, 
ornaments, cups, paintings....

Does that make me a squirrophile (or should that be ickorniphilus)?

I've got a stuffed red squirrel in the kitchen. It's one of the few toys 
that's not playing a sax. I collect sax-playing things. I've got Lisa 
Simpson (of course - she is my hero), and Disney's goofy with a sax, and 
various things like pot teddy bears with saxes, and a wee chap that came 
free with Tetley teabags with a sax, and er... then Steve has a load of 
sax-playing ornaments in his workshop as well. But the squirrel is saxless. 
A saxless squirrel. Hmm.

I got three stuffed red ones, and I had three stuffed greys but I gave my Ma 
one who lives in 'Squirrel Cottage'... and I've a Kezzi and Kai Hsia pair. A 
gift from me to she on our wedding day...

I do have room for a tent actually!

One November 1st, I noticed shredded sweetie wrappers on the ground 
under my tree, and wondered for a moment how on earth they'd got there. 
I wondered if someone was secretly going behind my shed to eat sweeties, 
and being careless with the evidence. Then I noticed another wrapper 
suddenly flutter down like a gaudy yellow autumn leaf.  Up in the 
branches the squirrels were busily unwrapping their booty which the kids 
had dropped the night before while trick-or-treating.

Nice? Nice? It's darned cute, that's what it is. I won't bother with a tent. 
I'm going to sleep under the stars and let the squirrels cover me with sweet 
wrappers...

Well, I was sticking my nose into everything and Orly was doing the usual
don't touch, don't touch. Besides. I'm the nice witch that can see through
walls. It's these new specs. They enlarge by 6

Witchy woman, see how high she flys.

I think the squirrels keep the same hours as we do. Raccoons are busy at 
night.

Just got to my email.... 01:30 Sunday morn.... It's bin a busy old day.

My eldest daughter and beau have bought a new house on Walney which, 
hopefully, will put off the impending wedding for a few years whilst they 
refence the garden, build a patio and conservatory and invest in some 
serious training for that mad puppy they bought!! And they've both decided 
to take driving lessons 'cos with hindsight Walney was a stupid move when 
they used to be central to Barrow and both close to work!

Anyway, they've been having a turf out of old furniture and crap as they've 
fitted new, including the computers, so I've been round there drinking tea, 
admiring the fence builders, getting pi$$ed on by a mad pup - and bought two 
PC video editing suites for 45!! Made 90 on one monitor on the way home!!! 
I guess it'll eventually get stuffed into this blinking wedding fund.... 
"Don't do it", we cry!!

Went for a Chinese at 'Singapore George's' in Barrow. It was absolutely 
crap. Won't be going there again. Kai Hsia thinks it's great to meet people 
from Singapore in the UK and talks their legs off... When I'm abroad I avoid 
Englischers like the plague!

Spent the rest of the night in front of the box asleep. Now I'm wide awake 
and KH is IM'ing for the hell of it. I caught her out last night by signing 
in under an alias and chatting her up. Even though she ended up believing 
that she had been stalked by this guy who knew to many 'uncomfortably 
personal' things about her she was swept of her feet by this fictional young 
stud.... I'll have to teach her a lesson and take Ally to Nottingham ;)

Anyway, more mail to read. Might be back. Might not. Busy day tomorrow. I 
have finished the plans for the studio after 4 years and we finally start to 
rebuild. Have to strip all of the equipment from the front room and find 
somewhere to store it all. Sometimes I miss the bigger house but with all 
the kids gone it was stupid rambling around in a 5-bedder with 11' ceilings 
and extortionate fuel bills....

Back soon...

Kz. . .

That would be fun if there was anything I wanted to teach Steve, but 
fortunately (or unfortunately - take your pick...) he behaves impeccably and 
I've never caught him chatting up anyone of the opposite gender. I think 
he's of the same opinion as I: it's hard enough work finding one person 
who's prepared to put up with you, without expending energy finding a second 
one. So we're monogamous because we're both too lazy to be anything else.

Anyway.... Nottingham? If I was up for a dirty weekend it'd have to be 
somewhere a *lot* more exciting than Nottingham...

I miss my 11 foot ceilings in Edinburgh. I used to be able to hang all my 
paintings. Now there's not enough wall space. And I miss my kitchen 
pulley... (but I've already bored everyone silly with that one...)

If you do fancy Nottingham, take your bulletproof vest with you. Judging by 
the midlands news that city is now the gun capital of the midlands.
