It had to happen one day…

Today was that day.

While filling my fountain pen, I spilt registrars ink on my leg, all over my hands and on the floor.

Registrars ink starts out blue. When it “sets” it turns black to indicate that it has become permanent.

I got the ink off the floor (with the help of some nasty non-skin friendly solvents) but my jeans will probably remain a different shade of blue/black. Even with a quick trip to the toilets with a bottle of 70% ethanol and a wad of paper towel!

As for my hand. I don’t know how long that will remain blue/black…

You thought the pool was busy

Think again.

Mom and kid inside doing yoga. Dad and baby outside watering the lawn. Coffee in hand. Happiness.

Huh?

Runaway cow in BC – look out!

But luckily, he was lassoed him…

Wait a minute, a cow can’t be a steer as well. Do you Canadians know how to tell male from female??

Things that happen in Malta

I asked Kate to marry me and she said yes. Strange things happen in Malta…

Malta smells like…

Wet concrete. There is a lot of building going on outside the old parts of the cities. I think I’ve found the smallest toilet cubicle in the world too…

Photos to come

You know you spend too much time on a computer when…

You look at the bottom right hand corner of the picture you are drawing to see if you have any new e-mail.

Anyone else suffer from these problems?

Its just not the same

Definitions can be pretty loose things, especially around food.

For example, I’ve eaten many things that I’m sure that the Japanese would never have thought to call “sushi” and I’ve had mixed drinks that barely met the (very wide) definition of “drink” — but still, that’s what they were.

Still, I suspect that I cannot call my potato pancakes “latkes” if I start by frying them in bacon fat.
