What is all the noise about? Come on Dick lets go see what is going on. I thought I saw a shooting star but I guess it was Lorna shooting out of the sky. O dear, what a mess truffle everywhere and I see an armour moving down the stairs, I think I'd better follow to see what has happened. Now I see two sets of armour!! Who could be in them and there is Lorna looks like she will be alright but I wonder if she broke something as her shirt looks all lumpy. O I see now it's the parrots. Now come on Lorna let's get you up in the light and see what we can do to repair the damage. This party is starting out with a BANG. Connie in cold Utah Never fear Lorna I am on my way. As I live the the seventeenth century, I have access to armour. I am equipped with a pikeman's breast plate and an English morion helmet. I have a pike (that would be the weapon not the fish) and a tuck (sword) and I am seeking you out. Is that your diamonds I can see or is it my herring scales? I am bringing mince pies for your sustenance if you are incarcerated. Don't tell Oliver Cromwell though, he has banned them. Our mince pies are of course meat based and oval. They were seen by the Puritans as idolatrous representations of Jesus' crib and therefore outlawed. If I am in danger of being caught I shall hurriedly feed them to the parrots. I have had rather too much Lamb's Wool for my own good - much more I shall be whipping off my coif and letting my hair down. Got to make the most of partying tonight as I've been told that the world will end tomorrow. Where is everyone? I am clattering up the stairs in my armour .... Lorna? ....Lorna? parrots? Ooops I've speared something with my pike - hope it isn't a parrot. Mistress Agnes

Oh my, we can't have the parrots and skinny mice be cold! I am knitting some gansey sweaters (jumpers) for them and hope they will fit OK. Just be sure they don't get in the water or they will be drowned rats. The winds have died down here in Southern California so I will be able to get to Cornwall the usual way, surfing across the Pacific, making a stop in Hawaii to put some poi on my board so the sharks will leave me alone, then keep on going to Oz. Anybody there need a ride? We can figure out the route for the rest of the way when I get there. It will be a challenge getting past that big debris field floating across the Pacific after the Japanese quake and tsunami last year. Hey! Maybe we can use it for a big group of us getting to the party every year. We can transport it the 3000 miles across the US by next December and leave it in a harbor there. I am SURE some small New England town will welcome it, right?
