ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Sorry. I’ve never been a patient person (no, really!) and the passport office is really trying my patience over my mom’s passport. Their website hasn’t been updated since May 31, and insists the police verification report hasn’t been received. The policeman insists he sent it to them, andI’mgettingworriedthatitwon’tarriveintimeformyoriginallyplanneditinerarygiventhe timeittakesforavisatobeissuedandthenIhavetogetbackintimeperhapsforthemovetoCochinwhew.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Seriously, it might explain what’s been happening to some of my mail, except it’s a continent away…

In a blatant attempt to get more comments, I have a sappy question to ask my faithful (mostly silent) readers.
Do you have someone who asks you how you are doing? Who notices your moods? Does it matter to you if you do or don’t? (This may seem like several sappy questions, but it’s all the same thing I’m talking about, really). Do you have someone to vent at? Or are you of the class that believes what happens inside you should stay inside, no matter if it kills you?
Answers awaited with bated breath.
I was googling for a photo of Ginger, the cat who stowed away and was mistaken for a turkey (How?!) and found this list of comments. Absolutely hilarious.
ETA: Did you know about The Infinite Cat Project? Wow.
The moving biz. No house to go to and no idea of when it will be available. And that is only one of the issues involved.
that I actually give away the things I make:
Of course, I might have snatched it away after the photo-op, but I am not like that, really, I’m not! Here is another view of the baby:
You will of course ignore the double chin and other signs of decline on the adult.
Very few of my recipients have been documented (photographed) in their gifts, sadly. Which gives me to wonder if the things fall apart, don’t fit, raise rashes, offend sensibilities or what. One doesn’t like to ask.
How do you say “NO” to Lady Catherine de Brough?
Especially when she’s hard-of-hearing and not the sharpest needle in the stash?
I found out today one of my close friends has had a baby girl, just a little before she was due to. I’m hugely thrilled to hear of a girl, because it seems like everyone is popping out the other kind. I dearly want to make something for the baby, but the issue is that it is an Indian baby and will live mostly in hot climates (in addition to having been born in summer). What could I make for her? Suggestions please.
We are pleased to report that the reports of the Router’s death were greatly exaggerated. (And Lucy, it was not funny!) The Router indeed lives, and it were the power adaptor that were dead, it were. (And not actually dead, merely some of its innards had got disconnected, but they have now been re-soldered).
I cannot tell you how relieved I am to be once again venturing abroad in cyber space from my trusted iBook. Whew! That MS Windows is really something!
And now I must go catch up with my mails and blogs. Maybe even do a teeny tiny bit of work!
