todayiamadaisyOut and about today I was subjected to a jazz flute rendition of 'Joy to the World'. I could have happily lived my whole life without hearing that.
Speaking of jazz, the book I'm reading at the moment had a character wanting to buy some 'jazz-coloured balloons'. What colour would that be, do we think? According to the internet, and it is never wrong, jazz-coloured is pink, black, silver, green and gold, usually in stripes. So there you go.
This morning I left the house on my way to buy the paper when I saw something icky looking in the front garden. From a distance, I thought it was dog vomit, but closer inspection revealed it was actually a sort of fungus growing on the bark chips that cover the ground. Later, I found some more growing on the straw covering the vegetable patch. So I spent part of the day finding out what it was: a type of mould known as scrambled egg slime. It's an interesting addition to my usual collection of toadstools.
