Today is better. Robert and I sorted some things out last night which has reduced my stress levels somewhat; this morning I organised more laundry and am starting to have a noticeable impact on the Clothing Mountain (which needs a better name). I have lost my phone (it's in the front room somewhere but is now out of charge so I can't call it) but have found Robert's wallet, which is a pretty good trade-off. I have just been to lunch with claire_wain and had delicious potato and general lovely talking and then a trip to Fabric Land! where I managed to spend less than ten pounds. Admittedly this is because they didn't have the crimson muslin I wanted, but nevertheless it's good. I have all the other necessary stuff plus some handy remnants which will be great for Robert's costume. I'll be trying to make my pseudo-medieval slip-on dress out of three hippo-tutu circles and a Roman undertunic - wish me luck!

Note to self: it's cream polycotton.

Yumpty-yumpty-yumpty-yum, yumpty-yum, yumpty-yum...

This is the 'Lucy Is Eating Tasty Grapes' song. It is believed to be a derivative work based on the 'Lucy Is Hoiking Things Up The Stairs' song, which goes

Humpty-humpty-humpty-hum, humpty-hum, humpty-hum...

You may notice the similarity.

Said songs are heard only in very specific circumstances; not only must the Lucy be (respectively) eating tasty grapes or hoiking things up the stairs, she must be happy while so doing. These are rare occurrences, to be savoured and enjoyed by the intrepid anthropologist.
