The skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin

The internet is killingly slow for reasons relating to RCN having apparently melted down around one o'clock this afternoon (customer support lines included), so instead of anything that requires extended interaction, here is a photograph of my niece. Technically she is wearing a fluffy scarf belonging to my mother.



I think somebody needs to see Ponyo (2008) stat.

The stretchy muppet-pelt scarf was clearly destined to be used in this way. Every child should have one!

I don't disagree!

My father made me a mermaid tail for Halloween when I was in third grade. It was a stiff, jade-green fabric with a shimmering moiré look; I wore it with pearls and (for the only time in my life) water-soluble streaks of deep-green dye in my hair. My mother informs me that Charlotte has found the tail and loves it so much that she has started taking it to bed with her, like a comfort animal or a selkie skin. This makes me happy. I only wish it could really give her the sea.
