So... Really wide doorways to your building...? Or does she pass your capappuccicinnnooono to you through the letterbox you're trying to navigate through...?

Well... ordinarily... but they can be quite hazardous things toes... *perplexed and vaguely disappointed-with-toes-sigh* ... particularly when one get's ... hmmm... another appearance of the random apostrophe... odd. Very odd ...when one gets left behind a bit... or folds itself up under the rest of your foot, where it then acts like a spring loaded catapult.

@David :)
Yes, the not-had-nearly-enough-sleep thing is where my ability to bounce out of bed became my ability to commando roll into a general splat on the floor beside it... before working my way from there...

It has several advantages :) Rarely results in a toe fold catapult down the stairs for example... nor a tripping-over-a-trailing-duvet and headbutting the wardrobe on the way there...

Remind me to talk to you about that.

And that as well. The neighbours are enquiring about the sounds emanating from the boudoir along the lines of "Wow that was one heck of an athletic performance".

Whoopity??? Okaaayyy Ahhhh!

Popping next door with "splat neighbours" on one's hand is not to be recommended.

Well yes...

I know that now.

*stare uncompromisingly into monitor*

Thank you for pointing it out so late in the proceedings... *sniff - elevation angle - 45 degrees* Absolutely invaluable it was...

Do come rushing by seven hours after the next "let's save an anniet from herself" incident won't you...

Still, never mind, I have something up my sleeve :)

Not literally. That would get a trifle sticky, and possibly not too hygienic as a cat did tunnel along it earlier, but I am going to offer them my chelsea buns... and see what happens.

They've worked before, and they'll do so again I reckon :)

There :) And these are for you lot...

Depending on bun nibbling habits, wolfers should get... well... a few good wolfs and a sticky end to their nose, unrollers, nearly two feet... and no sticky nose...

Unless you've gone wrong somewhere, or you're trying a chameleon impression, in which case you'll get a sticky chin too...

Oh... and most of your face will join it when the tongue part of your impression begins to disintegrate and you save the whole bun edifice by slapping it against your face.

As you know I am a Danish

As you know I am a Danish fancier, but those scrolls make me think of hay bales which I see all the time around the district. I hadn't realised what an art form they have become generally :

otherwise, Thunderbirds are go :

Cheers, Mike.

Sees chelsea buns...(cinnamon and lemon or just cinnamon??) guess I'll find out ;)

Hmm...

Since it's 2 am here, and the danishes over in Seti is down cafe are stale, think i'll sneak some milk and one of these for a early morning breakfast.

Leaves note saying "Thanks Anniet"

Carefully maneuvers to empty booth, opens the early morning newpaper (yes I prefer the feel of paper to the glaring of backlight when reading about things that happen overnight)

Puts in headphones and turns on some tunes as not to disturb sleepers
