A Bug's Life

That was a lot of low tech fun! Partly the strangeness of seeing sheep and chickens on Parker's Piece, and the Guinea Pig Village which was a small hut with a queue outside, and inside two rows of people sitting very quietly each holding a guinea pig. The people were so still, no chatting or larking about, I wonder if the guinea pigs were exerting some sort of mind control on them. The Sheep Show was entertaining and informative, we only caught the end of it (shearing - "I'm doing a special offer later, 50p for bikini lines"), as with the knights - finally spotting something was going on in their enclosure, to find a field strewn with dead bodies and the last two iron-clad chaps having it out with Big Swords. Would it be wrong to go back with fridge magnets? beckyc jumped off a 70ft scaffold tower the Paras had erected; I plead dodgy joints. Also being so much of a chicken I should be in one of the hutches on the other side of the park.

"Clean Dad's lace" has made it to near the top of my To Do list; some of it he made, some he collected, there's a good double handful, some of it is quite browned and it all smells of cigarette smoke. But looking here, I see there is more to it than "hand wash with mild soap flakes and dry flat". Hmm...
