Bangkok update
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 at 10:02 amSome readers of this blog may have seen in the papers that there have been anti-government protests in Bangkok and that following the death of a man in a clash between rival protest groups a state of emergency has been declared. This is not as dramatic as it sounds, I don’t think; the purpose seems to be simply to let the army intervene if demonstrations become violent. Away from the protest sites, life goes on as usual, except for delays and interruptions due to strikes. I’m posting this here to allay possible fears of friends and relatives and assure everyone that Stu and I are miles from potential troublespots. What with the strikes and all, it is possible that internet services might be disrupted at some point, so if I don’t answer email that will most likely be the reason (aside from my usual tardiness).

As long as you’re fine, that’s all that really matters.

Of course — if I were to disappear, the whole universe would wink out of existence!

Or at least one of them! ;D

Maybe it would only be lost like a remote behind a sofa cushion.

Suppose Laurie and I can inherit such a wonderful universe from you, yes?

Docile, housetrained universe. Not desexed. Plays well with others. Occasionally sprouts two-headed fetuses. Willed to Laurie, Crube and anyone else who wants it in the event of current owner’s decease.

I’d rather keep the current owner together with the universe here with us, but in the case that becomes impossible…
Umm…
May I have the ‘fetuses in jars’ part? ^^

And the peacock coat.

There are enough fetuses for everybody to take a few. But the coat can be yours, since you did such a great job of painting it. ^v^
