> [@ScareyFaerie](#): > > **Swampy** , I have given up all pretence at doing any irk. I have made a cup of tea and I’m sitting here enjoying the t-boomers and the veritable frog-strangling that is going on outside my 5th floor window. I was feeling terribly organised remembering to bring a brolly for once while shopping, until the massive crack of lightning directly overhead… :eek: I _was_ going to do some gardening today, once I got back from the shops, but I think you’re right, sitting in with a cuppa is probably the better plan. ---

**Happy, happy, happy birthday Swampy!** Bah! I really did not want to come back to work today, but here I am. I have meetings and a shit ton of stuff to do. Have I told you all how much I hate my job? I am just sure I have. As I noted in last weeks MMP, the wedding was beautiful, fun, and funny. We all had a blast. Everyone was relaxed and just had a great time. The sun is supposed to come out today and temps should be in high seventies. Tomorrow they’re calling for low eighties. ---

Had some studio time - I trimmed 5 pots and killed 2 bowls, plus reclaimed 3 softball-size lumps of clay, which I will work tomorrow. Shortly, I will go outside and get the laundry off the lines. Supper will be corn on the cob and fresh green beans and I’m not sure what else. Maybe fish? We shall see… ---

Back from feeding the kitties, which by the way today is their female person’s birthday as well. I sat out in the sun for a while and my ear is starting to feel better. Then I came in and the dog wanted me to go out back with him, so I sat in the sun some more. It’s his latest thing, he won’t come in unless I come out and sit for a while and give his butt a nice scritch. The dog is gone loopy. Now I’m hungry. ---

Well, I bought a hat. I shall no longer sunburn the top of my head while on a hot summer stage. I am also camouflaged, so I look like an idiot…I think… [http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w544/CaptKirk1970/utf-8BSU1HLTIwMTMwNzI5LTAwMDA0LmpwZw\_zpsf57603d7.jpg](http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w544/CaptKirk1970/utf-8BSU1HLTIwMTMwNzI5LTAwMDA0LmpwZw_zpsf57603d7.jpg) **Jim** 🙂 ---

\*\*Jim \*\*- I don’t think you look like an idiot, but you do look pissed off! Laundry is down, folded, and put away. I love taking the clothes off the line and just inhaling the line-dried fresh smell! Better than any dryer sheet _evar_!!! And the sheets!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 ---

They put her in this huge floofy dress that was bigger than the baby! 🙂 ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > ( I stole **FCM’s** birthday song and change the color lol) I stole it from one of **swampy** ’s serenades to another doper. 😃 Celeste looks positively angelic! _YAAAAAAAAAY_ **sari**!! Still not telling us which house?? Supper was good - I cooked up **FCD** ’s fresh green beans with onions and bratwurst. I did my green beans without the brat, and I just had a hot dog. Plus we had steamed corn on the cob. I’s stuffded!! I’m also a little ticked. Yesterday, I cut up a cantaloupe because I thought it was ripe. It wasn’t. I’m afraid I’m going to have to toss it. ☹ Stoopit melon. Time to find another knitting project. Hats and scarves, I’m thinking… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-the-old-farts-mmp/664800.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-the-old-farts-mmp/664800.md?page=3)
