No news today from 2XS – they must be
out of phone range. No news is - of course
good news…I imagine they will be powering into Sydney any minute now but who
knows what can happen, with pesky seaweed lurking to foul up engines and all manner
of Trickiness Of The Sea.
There is, I am glad to report, a sequel
to my happy hermit crab story. When
Hermit #1 was missing, Phil and Sally got Hermit Crab #2, to console
Henry. So imagine – double the delight
now, with #1 and #2. Elsa says they seem
to enjoy each other’s company. They trot
around their terrarium, waving their pincers companionably, and all is well in
Huon Hermit Crab World
Last night I had dinner with Dad and
Fleur, at the casino coffee shop. This
was all very pleasant. But an
all-you-can-eat buffet is quite a terrifying thing… It seems to attract people
who want and need to eat vast amounts.
Fleur and I watched, eyes wide, as immense people walked purposefully
back and forth to the bain maries, and then, with even more determination, to
the dessert tables. Probably a very good
place to go, on days when one feels less slender than one likes to feel…
This is going to be my new favourite sentence which I plan to hiss at my children when I'm cross: "Pesky seaweed lurking to foul up engines and all manner of Trickiness Of The Sea." It's truly wonderful!
