..and cwtches to you too!
and on that note I am going to say goodnight to you and anyone still lurking
in corners, and pop out to see if there's any sign of Perseids shower.
Happy meteor spotting!
See you tomorrow.

Was he a hippocrite?
In the early 1900s there was a crazy scheme to introduce hippos into the Louisiana bayous. This was to solve 2 problems. One was to get rid of invasive introduced water hyacinths that choked the waterways and suffocated the fish. The other problem was a general meat shortage. A hippo, fattened on mountains of water hyacinths, was expected to be good eating.
I think the scheme got as far as the U.S. Congress, but I don't know why it apparently fell apart there. :p

Probably because hippos bite you in two in one chomp if you startle them or go near their young.
They won't eat you, they're herbivores, so that's okay then.

Hi, Michelle.
Sorry to hear you've been unwell.
Something you ate?
No idea, it hit me suddenly around 11 this morning. I hate being sick, I'd rather help other people who are sick. Thankfully my mother came over after she got off of work and brought me crackers and ginger ale and some soup. I really do have the best mom

Nice mom!
Maybe delayed shock from last night?
Feeling better now ?
