pingu

that penguin from the previous post reminds me of Pingu and I LOVE pingu.
Don't you?

Wait? You don't know Pingu? Good heavens. Watch Pingu at once.

What I adore is that they speak Penguin--which so sounds like a real language--and you totally get what they're saying.

(which reminds me of... oh do stop it with this Reminds me business. No really. It reminds me of the Clangers--a stop motion series I grew up with--and if you don't know them then I'll have to save that for another post!)

"For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day."

Longfellow (1807-1882)

most beauteous vegetables

Have you ever seen vegetables so beauteous? Or as my little niece (who couldn't say the dreaded word) called them, "VENGEtables."

(which, if you a small and facing a broccoli floret coming towards you on a fork, is surely a more accurate word.)

(Also, what's with this floret business? Why does Broccoli get the fancy word that makes it sound like it's from a renaissance court, whereas all peas get is "pod"?)

tickling slow loris

my niece sent it to me and so I had to share it... it does your heart in!
