The Removal of Wisdom- Day 6

Published by amber under In Sickness and in Health

Day Six.
Six is half a dozen.
You can get so many foods in packs of half a dozen. Food that requires chewing. Like Donuts. And crunchy bread rolls with lashings of butter. And eggs, which technically I can have, but I want the Eggs Benedict from Rupert and the Fig with the seeded mustard hollandaise that would get [...]

The Removal of Wisdom- Day 4

Published by amber under In Sickness and in Health

I’ve had worse colds than this.
I’m serious- I’m fine, apart from a slight ache in my jaw, and the inability to open my mouth fully. I’m still taking the penicillin, but am limiting the strong stuff for the nights just as a precaution- might as well save the pain meds for when you really need [...]

The Ides of Smarch

Mosaic- March 2008, originally uploaded by animm.
Another month gone, another month doing Project 366 on Flickr. I haven’t missed a day yet- it’s in the 90 days straight now- although I think it’s more stubbornness on my part than anything else. Remember, I haven’t touched Coca- Cola in 11 years.

Of wierd- arse looking dogs with smooshed in faces

Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Dowager Cixi, said:

Let the Lion Dog be small; let it wear the swelling cape of dignity around its neck; let it display the billowing standard of pomp above its back.

Let its face be black; let its forefront be shaggy; let its forehead be straight and low.
