This might seem like a pretty inane thing to get het up over but it really, really bugs me when people don't hang out their washing properly (ie: like I do) and we end up with all the pegs on one side of the Hills Hoist. Grrrr...

The cubs' father came home this morning with the news that the Golden Arches of Doom 'family restaurant' has pulled one of the current range of toys out of circulation. This latest lot are based on the Transformers and one of them transforms into a tank. Apparently some child psychologists suggested it might not be the best thing for little persons to play with at the moment.
However... Can you imagine how rare those toys are going to be? How much they'll cost - cos of course, without them, you can't make the 'mega-transformer' thing...

I had a very strange dream last night.
Future earth - kinda sorta - something to do with taking a duck back to it's right place in time before it infected everyone with salmonella... But anyway... There's sporadic, uncontrolled flooding world wide. The waters can come up only a few inches, to being deep enough to cover buildings. The floods can come and go for a week at a time, or a month, it's completely unpredictable.
Flooding happened while I was there and I kept an eye on the water creeping upwards as the people I was with set about sealing their building with little bits of thin plastic and rubber I thought would never keep the water out, but did.
It flooded 3 times, each time the water covered the buildings but life went on as normal inside, and by the end of it I could tell when the waters were receeding because the sun came out...
