Last week the Olympic Torch went near to my parents' house and through the area where Tony and I grew up. Unfortunately it was a pelting wet day (there's a surprise) but people still turned out to see it and record the moment.
I don't know about the US, but it's Father's Day here today. Tony has been well bedaddyed, in spite of having two services and a choir rehearsal to keep him busy today. A very funny parcel arrived from Daughter, the Sunshines called in on their way home from North Yorkshire with a nice bottle of something, and LYS sent a Shakespeare DVD - Coriolanus - with a delightfully witty and well-expressed letter. He finished this with two offerings for our word games -
Avocado - to give a car to a female deer
Wail - what Woger wides the twain on

It's Father's Day here as well! Praise and thanks for the lovely dads.
Kaitlin: broccoli--a badger hailing from windy territory
pianoforte: a locked building, primarily for martial use, with black and white keys.
Dad: contraband--a musical coup
Blessings to you and yours!
binoculars - vaccinations against rubbish
(do you have bins in the US, or just trash cans?)
Happy Midsummer!
Ooh! That's brilliant!..and also slightly painful! (Not because it relates to needles...it stings a bit because it's impossible to top!)
How about:
jerkin: a very itchy piece of clothing. Compare to "straitjacket."
And, with best wishes from my mom:
scant: a very thin ant
We have bins...though cans are more common!
Many thanks for the above lovely story! It made my day ever so much brighter!
Blessings to you this lovely June,
Kaitlin
Jerkin got me thinking about clothes. This is a bit obvious, but
pantaloons - inflatable trousers
