One live...

... as we started to comb out Looby Loo's plaits prior to napalming (oops, malathion-ing) her scalp yesterday evening.

Misery: stench of alcohol-based product drying off, much rubbing in. Then she watched while we did the same to ourselves, not without some nervousness: the pharmacist had inquired about asthma, a contraindication to using the lotion, but hadn't mentioned excema. (Since we were, in addition to anti-louse products, buying medicated shampoo for treating dodgy scalp conditions, maybe she ought to have done so.) So the entire human contingent of the household stank its way through the night and washed and combed with some relief this morning.

If this hasn't worked, we may well resort to napalm.

Plumber was due at ten. We daren't risk the heating pump until he's done the necessary pipe fixing. Ah, the joys of an Esse.

Well, we've never been that fond of Star Wars

Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.

Side." There are two possibilities: you
are a Star Wars geek, or you are unreasoningly
scary.
