Daddy, why are you shaving?
Because my beard is getting too long.
We should get some sheep to eat the hairs on your face short.
In other news, the minion is turning four this weekend!
Asides
On masks and glasses
Wearing a mask in a cold environment, like say, the frozen food section at the supermarket, when you also wear glasses…doesn’t work.
Last first time
Today I’m starting on Unseen Academicals. The last time I get to read a Discworld novel for the very first time.
(I’m glad it’s this one, though, as both Raising Steam and The Shepherd’s Crown (at least, everything after the first chapter) were complete disappointments.)
The Minion says…BOOM
Mythbusters shall henceforth be know as The BOOM! Story.
Also, Jamie is now BOOM! and Adam will in future answer to Shah! (her word for a sword. Make of that what you will.)
Letter
I have many old books in my house, collected from second hand shops, flea markets and church fêtes over the years. Today the Minion discovered this in a dusty old copy of Black Beauty (publication date unknown)…
It seems pretty old. I wonder how it made it all the way across the Atlantic.
Was it a love letter from a soldier to his sweetheart back home?
A letter to a little girl from her pen-pal on the other side of the world?
A secret missive smuggled across the ocean in a children’s book?
Okay, okay. That third one wouldn’t require a stamp. But still. If this stamp could talk, I wonder what tale it would tell.
