In Australia, seemingly the world’s #1 skin cancer nation, they say “Slip, slop, slap“. Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat. Yesterday we went to the Flea Market along the Elbe river in Dresden. It was a mostly overcast day, and whenever the sun did come out, it didn’t cause you to remove your jumper. Still, when we came home, this:
We slipped, but we didn’t slop or slap.
The other day my Mysoti lampshade arrived. Cool stuff!
On Threadcakes a pastry chef named Mim Lea did a cake version of my first Threadless design “The Motive”. It’s filled with raspberry jam! Thank you!

Vielen Dank an Reginald!
I made some papercraft designs.
Look at & download them here.
I will add new ones once in a while, so check back if you please.
Do not run with scissors.
Do not glue eyelids together.
So, apparently I am going to be HUGE in Ecuador now, because the lovely folks at BG Magazine featured me in their “Sci-Fi” issue. Me encanta! Muchas gracias!
We went to Toys “R” Us today. In one of the lanes, we met Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from The Muppet Show. He was $1.96. We didn’t quite believe it, so, since he had no tag on him that would tell us otherwise, I carried him across the store to one of the price checking scanners on the wall. It did not work, so I asked a nearby clerk with a scanner gun to check. Dr. Bunsen was $1.96. The clerk chuckled, we took the doctor home.
There were about three more Dr. Bunsens on the rack. What will happen to them? People will see the price, think “Ha, BS!” and walk away. $1.96 is probably the last step, then it’s the rubbish heap or recycling. Lil’s mum said she’d like one, but she wouldn’t drive 20 minutes to get a $2 doll. What will happen with the Dr. Bunsens? When will they ever show the Muppet Show on free TV again? Is it available on DVD? Uh.
Place names here are partly aboriginal, partly english. I like the aboriginal ones much better most of the time. I’d love to have a place like “Wooloomooloo” or “Coolangatta” as my address.
