SOMETIMES I'D LIKE TO BREAK YOU AND DRIVE YOU TO YOUR KNEES
Thanks for the millions of entries that flooded in for the caption competition on the previous post. Everyone who took part will be receiving a pink Betty Heart Disco t-shirt (26 inch chest).
The overall winner however is Da Do Ronn Donn, for this effort:
"Detecting wetness in hidden places with a 'divining rod', also known as doodlebugging, was invented as a way to escape the tedium of church services. Hence the term divining. It was a time honored tradition well known to Austen.
Judging by the pull on Mr Darcy's rod there is a considerable amount of moisture to be had on his immediate right."
Well, he hasn't really won a pair of overalls, har har. The slightly soiled Austen style empire line wedding dress will be soon be winging its way over the Adlaandic (as Tony Prince would've said) to Canada. I'll be reversing the mailing costs, but you can't expect everything, can you?
Hope you are all *battening down the hatchets* against the snow. To keep you feeling cosy and warm, here's the appalling Dan Hill with Sometimes When We Touch, The Honesty's Too Much, And I Have To Go Away And Have A Bit Of A Cry And A Seizure.
A happy Eastering Monday to you all, whatever your creed.
