The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Alas, I don’t cook much any more. I’m never home. Buy stock in Bertolli, though.

Bah, three days only here but that’s ok.

We’re having a bunch of friends in... going to go to the range, and the new Indy movie, have a cookout, play games... it should be fun.

Ok...I’ll take them back this afternoon.

I’m taking the boys to see Caspian after lunch, so I’ll do it then. There’s an EyeMart Express right next door to the cinema, so I can look there.

I wonder...can I just buy the frames? I can order the same lenses for like $35 online.

I think I hate you.

I have at least two meetings today.

At least I get a free lunch out of one of ‘em.

Kitten Gidget update... they've discovered the advantage of behaving like a pack of lions. ;~)

Gidget focuses at the one pawing her from under the chair...

Got it! (eeek, Gidget careful gentle Gidget...)

Aha! A surprise attack on the unprotected rear flank!

I had to put and end to the game shortly after this... they were swarmin' her, and she was bouncing back and forth quickly enough to be careless. But she's SUCH a good girl.

That’s just adorable! Which one of the black kitties is that? Can’t quite see. The little one, isn’t it?

Ungh...I made the mistake of wearing black pants today, so I’m not feeling altogether friendly toward felines in general. ;-)

That’s the little one I think.

Black kitties go well with black pants. :~)

I DID IT! I returned the glasses! I told them I just didn’t like them and they took them back. They didn’t act happy about it, but oh well. I even took back the cleaning supplies they gave me but they said I could keep them.

See, not only did I not like them, I made the mistake of not getting them with bifocals. So I had to take them off every time I wanted to read something!

So, I ordered these:

They look like just plain old glasses, eh? Cost me about $100 and even got them with progressive (no-line) bifocals.

Half the price.

Vey nice! I got a pair of bifocal sunglasses that I wear when I’m driving. I was concerned about the line dividing the regular from the magnified lens, but when I’m driving, it tracks right across the front of the car, so I don’t even see it. But when I glance down, I can read the buttons on the steering wheel for the cruise control, and can read the buttons on the radio, as well! So I don’t have to keep putting on my reading glasses and taking them off!

She’d better hope he ~doesn’t~ end up dead. She might be just crazy enough to try and pull that off.
