Had a really excellent day today. Jo and Rob visited, we had something of a walk round main Southampton, I showed them Read Or Die and Spirited Away and the first episode of Utena for the first time, and I cooked salmon teriyaki for supper. Oh, and Jo got to try absinthe. A really, really excellent day.

The Common Cormorant
The common cormorant (or shag)
Lays eggs inside a paper bag,
The reason as you see, no doubt,
It is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never thought of is that herds
Of wandering bears might come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
-- Christopher Isherwood
