Today's word is defestration. My spell check doesn't recognise it, neither does my dictionary but then, I only have little desk top versions.  Okay, so I don't even know if it really is a word but it gets to be my WOD by pure force of will - it will not stop buzzing around my head!


Mea silly - Bert's little sister isn't, a sister that is.  HIS name is Benny and he's just learnt how to 'tight-rope' walk up the back fence.  He nearly fell but thanks to not being able to walk backwards and a case of sheer determination he made it to the top where he could then jump on to the much safer roof of the lean-to.  He followed this up by coming back down and attacking my feet while I was chatting with his 'Dad'.  We were both cackling at him and he was steadfastly ignoring us, of course.

There may be a slight hope for me getting back on-line, at least on a weekly basis.  PT has offered me the use of his broadband connection [he doesn't come close to using his 1G allowance] but we can't figure out the mechanics of the how to from my 'puter.  I don't have an ADSL modem and we can't network the two computers as, although I do have a network card, it wont fit into my 'puter.  Using PT's 'puter isn't really an option of comfort as it means a/ going into his bedroom to do so, even if he's not here [I am not comfortable with this on so many levels!] and b/ even though he has broadband, his puter is old enough that it is just as fast as mine was using a 56K modem [or at least that's how it feels.

For where I found it and a good chuckle.

capnoblivious was making an observation about his lack of roos when a question was asked about the correct collective noun. Deciding to experiment with Wikepedia I found the site had lists of fun collectives!

A fun list indeed but did you know that fairies [of the winged nature] have the unimaginative collective of 'herd'? Boring!
