i am brimming with excitement over the entire shipment of wonderful new clothes that jinx & phoebe have gotten for us from the thrift store over the summer! linus even received an enormous pair of brown bell bottoms that he has been wearing quite often. i’ll have to post pictures of some of our wonderful new clothes soon!
i have finally been able to recount my experience for p. as he requested. (i did need some time for i wanted to verify everything with Myrtle, one of my spirit guides.) Myrtle works quite slowly and often would rather crack wise with vulgar remarks about Linus and sausages. This makes it very tiresome to work with her, but her memory is the most tenacious despite her rather crude leanings in humor. perhaps she might enjoy an evening following rich sauces. . . .
can’t talk very long today, i must be off to deliver some sandwiches to Mr. Kipp & Mr. Trunch. They are 2 old dears that were close friends to my grandfather and have played very important parts in the early years of the SBE. I had despaired of getting them interested in much of anything these days, as they mostly grouse about and only leave their house between the hours of 2:47-3:59 am. (due to an admonishion that Mr. Kipp once read in a fortune cookie) This limits their socialization quite a bit and for some years, they have appeared to be in a decline. As a desperate attempt to interest them in something outside of sandwiches, I introduced them to the internet some time ago, and most remarkably, they have both grasped onto it with speed and relish! Linus does regret their love of the internet, for they call him constantly with technical difficulties that he must sort out for them. And he helped them set up their own blog, complete with a photo from their own cupboard. Today they also promise me a meeting with their new neighbor, who they have only described as “sprightly”. We shall see!
