“Honey, I’m home! What’s for dinner?”

“Lemons.”

“Lemon chicken?”

“No. Lemons.”

“Greek Lemon Soup?”

“No. Lemons.”

“Salmon with lemon garnish?”

“No. Lemons. Just lemons. It’s a cry for help. Grab some forks, will you?”

I’m sure there are good reasons to include a photo of Father Dougal in your listing, as found by Edmund. True, I can’t think what the reasons might be… but I’m starting to get the impression they do things a little differently in New Zealand. For example, it appears that they insulate houses with “button cods,” which I believe is babytalk for what Americans, in our trademark-infringing way, call Q-Tips. That’s what the listing says, anyway. I am so confused. Just like Dougal.

"Yard needs TLC"

Sep. 29, 2008

Yes, I’m sure the yard does need TLC, but it’s the double-pane windows I’m wondering about. They double-pane windows which are mentioned in the listing. The double-pane windows which, if I’m seeing things correctly, are just sort of hanging in the wall with not much supporting them.

Wait, that’s not fair of me. Some of the windows have plenty of support. Support in the form of big sheets of plywood nailed right across them. They’re not going anywhere.

“A dinette set in the bedroom?” writes dw. “Isn’t that a little… forward? If I were on a date, I’d be thinking I’d want something between dinner and bed.”

“No one will notice it’s a pot plant,” writes Sue. “Just stick it in the office.” OK, I’m naive, and most of what I know about pot plants comes from watching jPod. Really? Is this a pot plant? In a listing? I know it’s Holland, but still.

The rest of this house is one of those “Awesome or awful?” quandaries, but this — this! — this is too much. Built-in, permanent, cement armchairs? No.
