todayiamadaisyI have eggs! Twelve of them, from last week's runaway hens. The woman and one of the boys brought them round last night to thank us for helping find them.
I also have limes. So many limes. My lime tree has been prolific this year, but I've left the limes on it for too long and now they look like lime-flavoured lemons. So I had lime dressing on my lunchtime salad today and lime marinade on my chicken for dinner and I made some salted lime brownies and took them to work and now I'm about limed out. But I still have limes.
Last Thursday our two youngest staff members organised a team at work to enter a local pub's trivia quiz. I said I'd be part of it while I'm still here. We came third out of seventeen, so that was a good first attempt. But! When he entered the team, Luke the receptionist just used our work's name. So when the quizmaster read out the list of teams we looked at each other in increasing embarrassment as he introduced Table 1 as John Triviolta and Table 2 as Professor Plum in the Library and so on, knowing that Table 11 was going to be Boring Office Name. So today our two young organisers have put their heads together and so this week we are going to be Spongebob Quizpants. We surely can't lose now.
