Coco Pops!

Coco Pops Moons and Stars and Rice Crispies.

For reasons unclear, my father arrived home last night with a present for me: a Kellogs Fun Pack. It's an odd sort of an offering for a twenty-nine-year-old. And perhaps the first time ever that my father has faciliated my eating sugary cereal. Maybe he's making up for all those years of not allowing me Coco Pops. How I remember the joys of visiting other people's houses with "children's cereal." The breakfast stuffs of my early years were stricly cocoa and sugar free.

I've been on ever-so-jolly a jaunt to Wales, where all sorts of high jinx were had. There was no t'internet though, hence the lack of posts -- though, no breakfasts were missed. I was there with Miss Shelley of the Peculiar Presents, and a couple of Messrs. The weather was glorious; the beaches were perfect. It was so sunny, in fact, that ice cream was necessary. In March. (Sun in Wales, much as in Scotland, is a fairly seismic sort of a happening, so I consider myself very fortunate indeed.)

I learned to play Yahtzee, was beaten miserably in San Franciso-opoly, and used up all my letters in Scrabble with "treating." And in one of life's odder coincidences, I bumped into my godmother's husband -- who lives in London -- at Portmerion, an Italianate Village in North Wales.

Now I'm back in grey Edinburgh, and my bedroom smells of hops. I left my window open when I left and it seems the beer brewing smell has wafted my way... Gah.
