Good morning all. It is very much Friday for me today, coming up to 10am.
I just read on a weekly online news service that Troipcal Cyclone Iggy is heading towards Western Australia and is dying as it gets there. Oh how lucky for WA. I also learnt that the wicked storms we had over the past four days was part of Tropical Cyclone Iggy. A cyclone, wow! It sounds so wild and raw and I feel so proud having witnessed it. Shame about the death and destruction in some of the villages in Java, though.
On a happier note, Happy Friday!!

At the tone the time will be...6:16 pm here. 
Actually I'm doing some writing but I'm in a distracted mood tonight. I hate that. Sometimes I wish I could build a little cubicle around me when husband and daughter are around. It's not them, it's the *&@ TV.

A/C must you insert something vile?!?
I get to go to the grocery store tomorrow and buy stuff for the Superbowl. I'm rooting for New England because Tom Brady is a stud. Husband is rooting for the Giants because I'm cheering on the Patriots. It's going to be a massive eating and drinking fest, and I can't wait!!!

I've eaten squirrel.
I won't eat it again if I have to gut and clean one.
I have a friend from Laos. Apparently, water buffalo is their equivalent of our beef, or it was in the old days.
AC and his strange diet. Still, it looks like he's very tame, almost unadventurous, compard to some bloke named Andrew something who goes out of his way to shock. Has anyone tried, or even heard of, durian? There are people on these shows that celebrate bravado (real or otherwise) and they won't touch it. I just LOVE durian!! It's just fruit.

Sounds great, Duchess.
I won't be watching, I don't really care who wins.
By the way, DomesticImp, I saw your thread about submitting something for the first time. I just casually looked at the thread.
Sending something out for the first time is a little scary. A lot of people are so scared of the prospect of being rejected that they never do so. So, give yourself a little pat on the back for being brave enough to put something you wrote out there.
I kept the first rejection I ever got; a blue postcard from Houghton Mifflin. I'm kind of proud of it; it means I was at least willing to take the risk, knowing full-well what the answer would probably be. A rejection doesn't mean anything in the long run. You hear stories all the time about some famous writer who got rejected thirty times before being accepted. The latest version involves Rowlings and Harry Potter and how many times that story was rejected.
So, congratulations, whether your story is accepted or not.

Andrew Zimmerman! "If it looks good, eat it." Thing is, most of what he eats, doesn't look good.
Morning, house of silence.
Oh, how I wish I was there right now. Five days in and the noisey invasion continues. Ugh. And now they tell me they won't finish until Wednesday next week.
But the chopping of concrete should be finished today.

Gail, under the circumstances, i would say you are doing a GREAT job of staying cool and keeping your sanity. I would have run off to Kruger or Cape Town.
Sydney, that's it, Zimmermann. Thanks! Yes, I agree, most of what he eats looks positively vile. He is a coward for not trying durian.

I thought he had given durian a go?
It sounds familiar, I am going to assume it is something that was left in its own juices to sit and marinate in room temperature.

I would have. But there's that nuisance thing about letting them in and letting them out.
Durian? They look like litchis on the outside. Do they taste similar or is it that fruit that smells disgusting but tastes wonderful?
