The Cloak of Invisibility

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have been playing peek a boo with my brain... it keeps on switching off...

[Jay-me (Janet)]

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Janet I hope it isn't my curtains you have blended in with?

[Philip]

How's it going in here? Oh, nobody around. Did those curtains just twitch?

[Philip]

Wow, this cloak works better than I thought!

[Patti (baconater)]

I've been busy getting sorted for travelling next weekend, Phil.

How are you???

[Philip]

Fine thanks. Busy marking! Granny's doing well at the moment ;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

That's great news, Phil! I'm thoroughly chuffed for you.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Janet? Did you say something? Or have you put on a cloak of inaudibility?

Bit like the Royal Mail then?

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I'm going to go and find somewhere else to sit..........

More like The Royle Mail by the sound of it....

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh. Did I miss Janet?

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Decided to come and sit back here.....................

I might sing.......

nobody will see who it is and shout.........

Nobody Loves me
Everybody hates me
think I'll go and eat worms............

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Worms? did someone mention worms..?

[Patti (baconater)]

Sorry, no worms today. I can sauté a few snails for you, though. Oops no snails either. Too hot and dry for them. How about a nice lizard?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I couldn't eat a lizard, we used to heave a pet one. He was called William. We used to go out and catch live food for him. Including worms.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

[Patti (baconater)]

Someone hand Janet a towel. Her face is leaking.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Here's the towel. But where is Janet?

[Jay-me (Janet)]

In the kitchen peeling onions

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oh dear - Patti had some onion-peeling goggles a little while ago - maybe she would lend them to you!

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I need a bigger pan

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm impressed you're cooking!

I'm souping

[Patti (baconater)]

Did you see the free soup cookbook today?

Haven't you been meant to soup for over a week?

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Yes I'm finally souping...........big pan of minestrone & small pan overflowing with lentil & bacon. I was looking at leek & potato as I have a few potatoes, but Delia's recipe cheats by using frozen mash.

I did get a few free recipe books - haven't looked at them yet.

[Patti (baconater)]

Want my potato soup recipe? It's super (souper) hehe quick and easy.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Patti (Totally Bananas) wrote: "Want my potato soup recipe? It's super (souper) hehe quick and easy."

Yes please. No pans spare tonight though. I've just decanted the lentil into the slow cooker.
Tomorrow I might do the pork chop recipe that I tried before. It was eatable!!!!

[Patti (baconater)]

You can do it when you're ready to eat it. Only takes about a half hour, start to finish. It doesn't freeze well because the potatoes go grainy when frozen but it keeps in the fridge for a few days.

I'll pop it in the recipe thread.

Going back on-topic for a moment (was there ever a topic), Perth residents all seem to have had their heads put on at 90 degree off-set. They never look where they are going, instead they seem to be always looking to the side. Sandra told me it is because they are not used to shopping centres being busy so they don't have to worry about bumping into things. I think it is because they are always on the look out for a sheep in distress in the bush.

[Patti (baconater)]

Aw poor Simon. Did you get trampled?

[Philip]

I now have the classic example of advanced invisibility. Yesterday, in a desperate attempt to drum up viewers for my blog, I went back to the forums on Authonomy where I used to lurk a year or two ago. I pulled up a thread relating to my Christmas story (A Stable Upbringing) and used this to advertise the latest post. I was really chuffed when I noticed someone else had posted after me. I was less chuffed when I realised they had ignored everything that I had said and had, instead, answered a comment someone else had made over a year ago!

What a shame Philip.To prove you are now visible You can give me a link to your Xmas story as I have decided to treat myself to a spree of reading nothing but festive fiction.

They are both lovely stories, Phil.

Thanks Patti. I must admit, I rather like the Nativity as a topic for a little gentle humour.

[Philip (sarah)]

Thank you so much Philip.

No problem, Philip (sarah, hope you enjoyed them.

Oh shucks! Thanks very much indeed.

Anybody fancy a second-hand Cloak of Invisibility? Some patches, as you can see (well, you would, wouldn't you) but generally wearable. Genuine reason for sale - owner is invisible enough without the aid of a cloak ;-)
