Oh, you guys.
These are the two that really upset me. This is a Devon cottage my grandmother brought with her from Devon when she emigrated in 1912. One of the chimneys has broken off, and I can't find it. Karl found the irony of 'my house has lost its chimney' hilarious. I did not.
This is a pony I remember being in Nanna's china cabinet when I was little, but I don't know its provenance. I'd been going to photograph it and "sparkle" it for Lilith. Now I can't find its tail.

Hard News: Again: Is everyone okay?, in reply to Hilary Stace,
Hilary? No. I have a quote from Ken Ring somewhere which I'm not going to dig out now, where he said that earthquakes were most likely to happen at the full moon, and the new moon, and two weeks either side. And I guess he's right, technically.
We know what causes earthquakes. We know that. It's nothing to do with the sun, or the moon, or the goats or the gays or the CIA, and if it's Acts of God then fuck does he hate churches.

How long did it stay cold for? I was thinking it might be a good idea to move the perishables to the freezer at some point, which would probably stay cold longer.
That's what we did on the second day, by which time the fridge was basically a cupboard. So we got about a day of cool storage, but the weather on that first day was pretty cool too, I think that'd make a difference. And we have quite a small fridge. So we kept the milk etc for another day by putting it in the freezer, and then I biffed all the perishables and we went to the supermarket on day three.

Can you both have one for me please. I suspect I'll be in bed before New Zealand's innings finishes.
Not if some of our previous performances are anything to go by.
ETA: By 'our' I mean 'the Black Caps' not 'mine and Megan's'. Just to be clear.

Oh look! It's wine o'clock!
Jolly good, have one for me. And I shall have one for you.

I think you probably need to keep boiling that tap water until they give you the OK
Oh, yeah, fucking oath. My stock-pot's been doing sterling duty.

Up Front: Ups and Downs. And Side-to-Sides., in reply to Lilith __,
Isn't it great, Lilith? Watching water dribble languidly out of taps. And mains water means flushing toilets as of this morning. It's like we're almost fully human again.

I can't even think where that is, Hilary. Is that the one by the museum?

Up Front: Ups and Downs. And Side-to-Sides., in reply to Megan Wegan,
The Amundsen(?) one by the Avon is the one I saw fallen off its plinth. No idea about Victoria Square.

I believe this might be what Megan was trying to say.
