Obviously, the fact that I neither drink coffee nor play the ukulele has made me ignorant.<br /><br />When I first looked at the "Mad Square" banner, I thought it said iMad Square and concluded that Apple must be some sort of sponsor.<br /><br />The street art is my favourite one, too.<br /><br />Also, Kettle, this is rather urgent: Do you remember when you mentioned donating money to a particular fund for research into autism on TSFKA? Is there any chance you could give me the details of that particular fund that you think is doing the best work in that area? I want to have all my Christmas donations sent out by the end of the week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-12427269516373763752011-12-13T23:42:47.274+11:002011-12-13T23:42:47.274+11:00Darling EMS, I love the "I heart you" st...Darling EMS, I love the "I heart you" street art too (and as you know it made it to FB before it made it to the blog).

Though I did eventually find it again and bought something to make up for my afflicting myself on them for, but what were they expecting being open at that time of the night anyway? It was a book by the guy that wrote the book about Cod: the biography of the fish that changed the world. Can't remember his name. I am going to have to go look it up now. (and I tried to order Salt which isn't quite as good as Cod but still good)Mad Cat Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940290694429568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-87606569482232103082011-12-12T22:00:20.254+11:002011-12-12T22:00:20.254+11:00A ruby glass mini-throne?

My idea of hell is an hour (even 10 minutes) at Cockington Green but give me a tiny chair and I'm all aquiver. <br /><br />My tiny chair fetish started when my parents bought me a little deck chair (with blue and white striped canvas, imagine!) when we were in London when I was seven. I still think of it today, *sigh*.<br /><br />How about your love for the mini chair?Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-84209025623498761472011-12-12T20:01:58.168+11:002011-12-12T20:01:58.168+11:00Do I detect that you like Melbourne a little?

Not certain why as minitures more generally don't float my boat. Chairs and chaises longues are different though.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
