mmm...that chocolate cake looks good to me. It's 9am on Tuesday - first day back at work after a long bank holiday weekend and already I want cake. Is this a bad thing?
Oh Gail, good to connect with you! And there I was, thinking that nobody would know anything about my little African leprechaun, or tokolosh.
When I was growing up in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, everyone talked about tokoloshes as if they were just samanga monkeys or chameleons and I was 15 before I realised they didn't 'exist' on the same plane of reality as the rest of us.
A couple of years ago, I was at a dinner party in the Welsh marches, close to where the Elizabethan magician Dr John Dee lived and the guests were talking about his 'familiars', a cat named Greymalkin (what else?) and a black crow. I wondered what would happen if someone brought along a tokolosh to a gathering of British amateur magicians.
So far I have three wonderful scenes and then it all goes down the kitchen sink -- but let me persist.
Good finding you here.
That's so. freaking. cool.
Nice idea, Zelenka. Best wishes on making it all work. It definitely sounds like a hard story to write.
Thank you. I look forward to eating it!Namatu. That cake has been boxed, bubble-wrapped and airmailed to you. You don't even have to share. Plenty more where that came from. (And I've got Susie to back me up on that.)
Both.Cake or Cookies? Cookies or Cakes?
Both.
And let's not neglect pie.
Whaat? I've never heard of this.So tell me, who came up with the notion that we have to finish our mains before we can have dessert?
I will eat your vegetables. But not pickles. Suspicious green color, pickles.And nobody would have to eat any vegetables. I am 42. I still hate vegetables...
So tell me, who came up with the notion that we have to finish our mains before we can have dessert?
Good grief, the words are rubbish today And they're coming so slowwwwly - it's like pulling teeth!
Weighed down by birthday cake? Maybe it's nature's way of telling you to party some more.
BTW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I'm not sure if it was yesterday or today - but best wishes anyway.
