Happiness from folkmew, and other goodnesses and amusements for the day.

[kniteracy]

Yesterday, we had a visit from the postman at something like 8:00 in the morning. Yes, on a Saturday. filceolaire was more dressed than I was, so he ran down to retrieve-- a package from folkmew, which managed to get here from the US in only five days!

It contained:

Q-tips (I have plenty of these now-- I think I can safely say I'm stocked up through and probably beyond Christmas!);

Maple Flavour! We are already looking for more fun recipes to use that in;

Peanut Sauce Mix! We had Thai chicken tonight;

Yummy-looking ice cream recipes, which we have stashed in the ice cream recipe book that filceolaire picked up last week.

I also had a package slip last week that might mean bunrab's package has arrived, as well. Tomorrow's the day to check that out, I think.

Today, I upgraded my Mac to OS10.3, which was easy even if it did take a long time.

mokatiki and pola_bear took filceolaire out for Father's Day, and they came back with presents for everybody, including a beautiful skirt for me. I only wish I hadn't been so grumpy about the heat and the iPod and everything else, because I did not gush over it appropriately. Please consider yourselves duly gushed.

Alas, the new Coke Zero is not made with Splenda, as I'd hoped. It appears to be attempting (successfully) to simulate the taste of flat off-brand "Cola," and it lists "caffeine" as a flavour. I am not making this up.

And, while we were all having dinner (Thai chicken!), I got a call from Glen Cronkhite in California, who says my harp case will be ready by the end of June! Hooray!

next time you need maple, see if you can get somebody from New England to send you some Grade B syrup. (Grade A is the least flavorful; Grade C is more like molasses.)

Yay for harp cases!

(that comment about maple syrup grades was me, not logged in after a reboot)

And I still have the Q-tips I picked up for you when I was in the States last month!
