In the Arms of Love

I have been thinking I might try to post every day in November, perhaps illustrated with a photo, as I’ve been doing recently. Or perhaps not. We’ll see if the muse strikes tomorrow.

The example above is yaaresse’s Lemon and Pistachio Loaf, which is jolly nice, I must say.

I have spent the afternoon looking at university websites. Before I went on leave, my boss asked if I was thinking of doing any more study, and I said I have been contemplating (for several years now) doing an MA in History. He suggested that if I did an MBA instead, work would contribute to the cost. Which would be nice, wouldn’t it? As it happens, I don’t want to do an MBA, but I thought I should at least look, just to say I looked. I found something called a Master of Leadership, which is a ridiculous name, but which is specifically for public sector entities like the one I work for. So perhaps he will let me do that instead? I’ll have to ask when I go back to work.

Finally, here are some things for your enjoyment:

First, while I was looking at pictures of horrible shoes (my new hobby), I stumbled across mention of a $1,300 bald-headed, goat-beard hat, which is quite… something. I don’t quite understand how it would look, since that piece of elastic is presumably the chin strap, meaning the beard itself will be nowhere near the chin. Unless it can be tightened somehow? Someone buy one and let me know!

A similar search led me to this selection of gift ideas from Neiman Marcus. I can’t help but feel it discriminates against single people. I might want a life-size Lego replica of myself (I don’t), but they only seem to come in pairs. Same with the dirigibles. Hmph.
