BUGGRIT

So, I've finished chapter 15 and I'm happy with that little glow of accomplishment. Then today I set out on the unsure path of chapter 16. It's New Year 1963 so I just nip off to Wikipedia to see if I can see any events were interesting enough for MC to mention. And... I find that "the big freeze of 1963" was pretty famous. Hmm.

That's flipping annoying. Now I have to rewrite the Christmas and New Year of 1962... Just as well I looked. Someone would have noticed.

In other news - it's sooooo reassuring when you get an email from a service provider to whom you have sent the same plans to three times because they say they havent received them which says:

"We have defiantly not recieved your plans."

Ah ha! Defy me will you, my pretty? *twirls moustache*

"We have defiantly not recieved your plans."

It just doesn't get any better than that.

I'd have noticed - I remember that winter. I tell my kids about it. They treat me as if I've dreamed it.

There's something wonderful about bad English. I remember an article about lettuces being eaten by vociferous slugs.

I can't remember exactly, but that may have been the year we had enough snow that when I lost my new Christmas-present white-handled penknife, there was absolutely no way we could have found it, even if we'd known where I'd dropped it. I was nearly nine that Christmas.

Here, have a twirly moustache and a snail.

"We have defiantly not recieved your plans." - LMAO!

Hope you sent them back their own response, challenging them for a duel?
