Drip, drip, drip

It's raining here and today, because of the rain, I was reminded of how one of our "crumbling Hondas" -- the "younger" one, the Odyssey -- is leaking oil. Every spot I parked, even if just a few minutes, had a shiny "rainbow" colored stain mixed with the rain water coming from under it when I came back to the car.It wasn't my imagination either. When I got home, I opened the garage and moved the car inside for a couple of feet so I could check the oil (we try to check often and constantly add...

Link Love for a Rainy Thursday
From Bugigangas, 1 month ago, Similar articles
Sitting here, drinking milky tea (Constant Comment) and enjoying the occasional drip on the tin roof, the coolness of the air after a day of rain...heavenly. I do hope this means summer is over. In honor of it feeling a bit like fall, here are some links that I've enjoyed and pondered in the last week or so, in chaotic fashion, ranging from political issues and current events to strange sightings

"It's a Gas" - Hombres, 1967

John and I recently spotted these in our local Sainsbury's. Despite our concern about...erm....the "after effects", we bought a can. They aren't too bad. (Click on the image for a full-sized version.)The language on the label still makes me chuckle, though. And who wouldn't be completely smitten when they see that delicate little drip of bean juice!Janet
A wish is a niche
From Midful Mimi, 1 year ago, Similar articles
(or how a bug list can help you invent the next hype) The other day, someone posted a wish on Twitter along the lines of 'I wish teabags wouldn't drip when you try to throw them away'. I answered with 'A wish is a niche'. Think about it for a while. The dripping teabag bugged someone enough to come up with a solution for it. Does it ever happen to you that you wish something was different or worked better' Let's do a little exercise here: Create your Bug List (or problem bank) by...

Some things I'm liking...Pretzel M&M's...crunchy pretzels inside of the sweet M&M shells...glad I bought another bag of this...addicting! Marufuku coffee's "instant" drip coffee. We actually got these before I left for Hawaii.Many coffee companies in Japan have this style of coffee which people give as gifts throughout the year.This type of coffee is great to have especially if you are travelling...just tear off the top of the filter, hook it onto your cup then pour hot water...

Kusu and St John's Islands, two of the islands that form part of the Southern Islands of Singapore.It is a lovely days outing if you care to go to one of both of these islands for a day drip, though you can also stay overnight on St John's Island too. I have been over to these islands before, but this was to be John's first visit.You now depart from Marina South Pier and it takes about 40 mins by ferry. We took the Singapore Island Ferry and their website is located HERE. On the following...

Rainy season
From Timorous Beastie, 1 year ago, Similar articles
The relentlessness of the rain over the past few days reminds me of rainy season in Japan. It simply has not stopped for more than 10 minutes since Saturday night and the only discernible change has been that it's now hitting the windows from a slightly different angle. But I've got nowhere to go. I'm tucked up in my furry slippers, with food in the fridge, and reams of data to transcribe. Now and again, I rise from the desk to gaze out at the deluge. The trees shine and drip. A woodpigeon...
Where The Wild Things Are (Apologies to Maurice Sendak)
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 year ago, Similar articles
First thing, early every morning, I get up to water my herbs and vegetables. I could do it later in the day, but later in the day is unbearable for me. It is hot. It is humid. The temperatures are in the 90′s, with humidity that makes you drip with sweat. I feel like a vampire; I try to get everything watered before the first rays of sun rise – directly into my backyard garden – and strike me with their heat. Things are coming along. This weekend I will pick the first of my ...
Waterless
From Mama(e) in Translation, 2 year ago, Similar articles
We're "waterless" in this house tonight, at least temporarily. Not a pleasant situation to be in when you've just spent 7 non-consecutive hours* of the day in the car traveling plus 4 hours house-hunting and all you want is to take a warm shower to relax. But you have, instead, to empty the contents of the under the sink kitchen cabinet to investigate a mysterious leak and to remove a thoroughly soaked ceiling panel in the basement which, fortunately, didn't drip into the precious photo...
