Do imbeciles usually hold responsible offices?

Honestly, that was the next question on the World War I US army literacy test. I make no comment as to its relevance today.

This week: signs of spring. The sweet peas are out, electric pink and scented. Tulips and daffodils out the kitchen window. Colours other than winter green and brown.



Also this week: we had a visit from Charlie! ( This is Charlie )

Charlie came into our garden for a visit. My mother thought she'd seen him being walked by the new-ish family across the road, so I carried him over there, but there was no-one home. Fortunately Charlie had his name and a phone number on his collar, so I called and found it was the people across the road, who had just gone to the supermarket and had no idea he had escaped. So we kept Charlie in the enclosed patio until they came to collect him. I found an old tennis ball, which kept him occupied.

Finally, a long domestic meme from emma2403:

1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
I have neither soap nor bathtub. But there is a bottle of Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Shower Gel in the shower.

2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
It's winter, so no. Citrus season!

3. Is there anything moldy in your refrigerator?
No, the fridge is okay. I suspect there's some stuff in the freezer that's not mouldy, but older than it would be advisable to eat.
