meep!

The kettle died! For two days I've been forced to make tea by boiling water in a pot on the stove. There should be a law against interfering with the proper flow of Earl Grey. And, of course, it would have to happen on the weekend when I'm all sinusy and can't face the thought of leaving the house to hunt and kill a replacement water-boilage entity. Woe is me.

On the other hand, a random thought for the day. Is it just me, or do granadilla flowers really look like small, vegetative, extremely cthulhoid alien life forms? Or have I just been watching way too much Farscape?



I'll swear the damned thing is sticking out its tongues at me. Roguishly.

p.s. my Evil Landlord just arrived with a new kettle. He is my hero. Also, he is a wise man who knows how dangerous it is to get between me and the tea supplies.

It looks a lot like it's sticking out it's tongue. :p.

Either that, or the whole central section with the tongues is about to extend suddenly and latch onto my face.

OK, definitely too much sf.

But just in case, next time you photograph it, use the zoom function on your camera instead of the macro...

I'm glad it's not just me

I have a grenadilla plant in my garden; whenever I come home late at night, with just moonlight to aid me to my front door, I find myself giving it a wide berth.

Good luck with the sinus headache.
