Ah! what taste! I am also obsessed with SBH (though I would
really prefer rammbed earth) I even have planned my future
carer - the best dog baording facility the world has ever seen to
be created from a SBH.

I've always been a bit err, quite obsessive. Some remains
enduring obsessions (P and P, Dorthy L Sayers, dogs and dog
behaivour) others have left me (cow breeding, Daryl Sommers
<phew!>)

Wow Jen, you want to watch yourself there, You don't need to
emulate that aspect of your mum's life hey? <g>

I tried to think of something more interesting than storm but
when you are cursed/blessed in such a way there isn't a lot of
space to move! (but all my dogs and cats have very sensible
names, Megan, Maddy, Samuella, Rosa, Jennifer - bog standard
names!)

tastes, whatever they are.  I've never succeeded, but I've seen
it done, and been incredibly impressed.  I once had a snooty
highbrow friend who would regularly make me squirm about my
lowbrow ways.  Then he acquired himself a gloriously unashamed
boyfriend called Jimmy, who would not only listen to Oasis and
Madonna in his presence, but unashamedly turn on sitcoms and Hey
Hey it's Saturday (great show, eh storm?) in his house!
Sucker! What a great show, I think he should have taped it and
watched it again on Wednesday nights!!! (hope the sex was good
<g>)

re high school reunions - no one has mentioned not going because
it was a hideous time and you hated pretty much every moment and
every person associated with it ... or is that just me?

> P.S. Ironically enough, I don't much like the taste of tabouli.
Too much parsley for its own good.  It sounds good, though...

does sound good, but tastes eh! who cares how good it is supposed
to be for you?

storm, depressed about the election result (It's Australian
policitcs Magical Mod Squad, no one really cares!)
