Olive, sounds like what my cats do when bored. Push things off the table when they're bored.
Pouncer, sounds like a good time. I'm going out on a limb and guessing your abstinent neighbor is in AA as I've heard the "breaking out in handcuffs" phrase there. It is nice to socialize with non drinkers. No pressure involved. You never have to think of what you will do or say if offered a drink. Because you won't be. Way to stay strong.
Saoutchik, next time I'm in London I'll have to check out the creepy passage. I did once sit in on part of a trial at the Royal Courts of Justice. It was interesting. For a short while
Behan, I'm envying your walk in spring sunshine. Little Miss and I went to a nature area for a walk and just about froze. Winter coats, absolutely no sunshine, and freezing cold. It's never coming!!! One to three inches of snow expected tomorrow.
I'm baking chicken leg quarters for dinner with leftover broccoli rice casserole. And now I'm going to throw in laundry.
