Rules And Choice

We often play rummikub. Some days more than one game even. Yes, we are able to work it in, somehow. Generally (exclusively?) at meals. Games can run over several by the way. I think the first amendment to the rules was playing with 2 sets each for a while hoping…

Holy Galloping Cows

The cows that live across the street here gallop. Being serious. I’ve never seen so much mass moving so quickly. Lots – and I mean lots – of mooing too. At times that is, and definitely less galloping than mooing. For perspective, less time mooing than not mooing. That’s my…

Beakie

Along the beach here is a most captivating bird. Black except for a long and vocal orange beak, and usually found with but one partner. See our industrious friend? Mme Awesome spent the day with Mme J, who works with flower essences and is a potter. The three of us…

Mme Awesome and I have had issues staying up too late which leads to lack of sleep should we have to arise by a particular time. Enough days spent struggling to get out of bed lead to this Constitutional Amendment: Thou shall not watch films on a school night unless…
