Enough Winter Already

[poliphilo]

I nearly used the phrase "long winter days". Technically wrong, emotionally right. The greyness and the wetness just go on and on and on- and  there aren't any Christmas baubles hanging around  to make up for the lack of colour.

February is sacred to Juno Februa- Goddess of fevers and sexual desire. I find this a cheering thought.

Ailz went for a fasting blood test this morning. And- it being in the air- she got talking to the nurse about Harry Potter. The nurse said she and her kids can't be doing with Rowling. They find her "too fanciful".  Erm, right....

Nowhere did it say in any of the literature we read when we got them that what rabbits really like to eat is telephone directories.

Oooooh, Valentine's Day is coming up! Any excuse to be effusively romantic and gushy and sexy is really nice, after such a drab winter. (I doubt you'll ever come here, but just so you know, Humboldt County has two seasons: foggy/raining, and summer. Winter takes a long time to go away!) Hey, that reminds me - the Kabbalah says that what one is supposed to do on a rainy day is stay indoors and have sex all day long. If only that were feasible!

Also, you forgot to mention that rabbits especially like to eat important papers. Money, phone bills and to-do lists just taste better than rubbish, you know. My ex-roommate had a rabbit and it had a knack for finding the most crucial papers and turning them into rabbit pellets. Curse him.

Heh- that helpful advice from the kabbalah comes about fifteen years too late for me.

The rabbits have eaten a lot of books in the past- including several I really wish they hadn't- but by laying the directories out on the floor where they can access them easily we seem to have weaned them away from richer fare.
