Jam and Jesus

mannystrawberries

That’s who you can blame for the lack of a proper post today.

I promised to do the layouts on a guidebook to the local church — the quaint little place we done got hitched at. Only, all my work muscles have atrophied and it took me forever to remember how all the dinguses and thingies worked. Oh well. “Making excuses” is my besteses job skill, and one I will NEVER forget.

And then I remembered my strawberry conserves were due for the final boil and potting up tonight.

Jam. Jesus. Where the hell am I and how the fuck did I get here…?

You are in Limeyland, and you got there by air. 😉

Ah well, I’d like to get my order in for some fresh Stoat Preserves as soon as they are ready, so I’d better be nice.

One day, many years after I left Tennessee, I was driving into work, listening to the news (as you do) and the announcer said, “…and the weather for Boston…”

And I thought, “Boston!?! What the fuck am I doing in Boston???”

Every once in a while, I just sort of slip sideways…you know?

Weasel, as I predicted, you are no longer a Murrican. You are now a stock character in an episode of Midsomer Murders or Morse – the stalwart pillar of the WI and church Harvest Festival committee. You need to start practising saying, “Inspector, do come in. Can I offer you a scone?” in your best Home Counties accent. If you find yourself shopping for a tweed skirt, the transformation will have become complete.

Meanwhile, the song ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ takes on a whole new meaning.

Conserves and curds and confitures…once you start me looking up one thing, there’s so much other stuff I didn’t know about.

A regular reading rainbow, this place.

I’ll bet your humble abode smells grand. I just had my dwarf orange tree blossom profusely, the finest of all flower smells.

Well Weasel you could slip over to Essex and visit the Tiptree Jam Museum if things get too bad.

🙂

Just trying to help.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
