Oh, hi, **NoClueBoy**. So sorry about your shades – I accidentally baked them into the pie I’ll be bringing back. **lel** , would you like to do your vacuum-cleaner prognostication in MY house? All over? Cookies and tea afterwards! ---

**EddyTeddyFreddy** , I’m happy to do vacuum cleaner prognostication in your house, but it keeps predicting **lno** for some reason. Go figure. _squeezes prognosticator rubber duck, and that squeak sounds uncannily like **DeepPurple** _ ---

Just popping in to say “ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!” before going to visit my mom. So no fair guessing me for the next couple of hours. By then I expect **Idle Thoughts, Abby, Flamsterette** and perhaps even **lel** to have poked their noses in. ---
