Monday, January 23

There hasn't been an overwhelming interest in my new game, Mammals in Soup. Jamie rang to suggest Chicken Stock offered two answers in one: chicken, of course, and a farmer's cattle.  I explain, patiently, that chicken is a bird and he suggested we re-name the game 'Warm-blooded Creatures in Soup' but it doesn't have the same ring.

At the chemist this morning the lady behind the counter asked me whether we might get rain.  I said that I hoped so to save me watering and she commented that a customer earlier had 'poured out 7mm'.  I didn't know how to respond to that.  I assumed he had poured it out of his rain gauge but is 7mm a lot, or a little?  Sometimes I think I'll never get the hang of living in the country.
