todayiamadaisyHeadline from this morning's local paper (their spelling):
BE PREPARED FOR VOLCANOS: GEOLOGIST
Sound advice that we should all follow. Do be mindful of the risk of volcanoes as you go about your business today.
It was a particularly timely warning for me, since I plan to go walking on an actual volcano later today (weather permitting). Admittedly, it's one that's been extinct for several thousand years, but, still, as they say about serial killers, it's the quiet ones you've got to watch. There might be photos tomorrow, if I'm not engulfed in a surprise burst of molten lava.
I bought a new lunch box yesterday. My thrilling life. I also bought a tea strainer and a thing shaped like an acorn for putting tea leaves in and dangling in the pot (does that have a name?). I don't drink tea, but my mother does and she read somewhere that worms like tea leaves. So I now have to provide her with tea leaves instead of bags when she visits, so she can contribute to my worm farm. I'm sure my worms will thank her.
Anyway, I have an old tea strainer, a commemorative one I inherited from my grandmother, but my mother claims that there have been great advances in tea-straining technology since the royal visit in 1954, hence the need for the new tea-making accoutrements.
Also, this is entry number 800. Well done, me.
