Picnic ca. 1956

Picnic

I think I might possibly be ready to scan old slides and photos. (Don’t hold your breath, though.) I’m experimenting with the scanner right now.

My explanation for the blossom of light in the upper part of the photo is that it’s the departing alien ship that just dropped me off.

The other one is now smithereens. Can this one last until the stitches are removed on Tuesday? Anyone want to do an over/under?

Mr Man has been playing roller derby with the snowbanks. Couldn’t find the duc(k) tape, so made do with what was at hand.

Had to share this menu

I am reading a biography of Caesar Augustus, and his usual dinner sounded too much like what Poo would have ordered in a Paris restaurant if it had been on the menu:

“The meal opened with the gustatio, tasting, during which appetizers were served: various pulses, cabbage in vinegar, pickled fruit and vegetables, strongly spiced mashes of shrubs and weeds such as nettle, sorrel, and elder, and snails, clams and small fish. A fashionable delicacy was stuffed and roast dormice.”

Yummmm!

Bigger puppies

I went in to the office today just to see the puppies. They’re about a month old now, and they don’t need to come in every day, since they’re on solid food. They were asleep, but one woke up to teethe on my finger.
