Broke my last surviving teapot Friday . Spent yesterday hauling all over town looking for a replacement. No joy (even in secondhand stores). Lots of glass thingies with “infuser” attachment wotsits, but no ordinary, boring, common or garden teapots.

Silver lining: walked 7 miles without thinking about it/realizing, and it was a lovely sunny day .

Bizarrely I dreamt somebody gave me one last night. Identical to one I used to have.
Would have suited you. It was very common or garden...

I wish I could escape and have some free space and alone time for a couple of weeks.

I've used two teapots bought in Canada. Both dribble from the spout as you pour so you get spillage.

The roof of our house is casting the shadow of a Mosque (dome and turret) on the tall hedgerow at the bottom of our yard.
It looks just like the one a couple of streets away from where I used to live.

Luxury car drivers stealing pumpkins.

https://globalnews.ca/news/3815089/l...mers-pumpkins/


Luxury car drivers are from experience doing parking enforcement in Whistler a couple of years are the most likely to not have paid for parking as well.

Pricier the car better the chance they didn't pay for parking.
