i received some amusing and lovely emails today. this from k about our spud baby:
We’d be honored to babysit little Tatum anytime you two want a break. We have a lovely pot of oil she could swim in, or a nice warm oven to play in if she wants to. We could also give her a facial with some sour cream and maybe some avocado as well- very good for the complexion I hear.
this from bean’s grandmother, who is talking about a picnic she went on with the probus club (that is, a whole group of 80 year olds):
then [we] had a fun game where you pass a weighted piece of string down a lady’s dress and down a man’s shirt all along the line and then the first player has to pull it all back again. Caused a lot of laughs.
this exchange with my very own cold-ridden bean:
sorenson: poor sick lucky bean
bean: i sound like a chinese lolly
and this also from bean, after i moaned about this not being a funny blog, because i am a serious boring git:
and you are anything but a boring writer !!!!
I first fell in love with you through your writing - i love it, it’s my favourite writing ever! AND I love your handwriting!
i was very lucky that you are as wonderful a person as your writing suggested.
aren’t i lucky to have such sweetness and humour in my life?
