We had a great time at the Fair! The sun was so HOT! It was a picture postcard day, too, blue skies, white clouds, sun, strong breeze. More fresh air, sunshine, walking/standing than I've done in a long, long time. Gosh I haven't been so totally exhausted in ages. It wasn't just me, either - we were all totaly tuckered out after the Fair. Still pretty tired today and my legs and knee aren't too happy either.

All we could do was veg out and watch Olympic stuff last night. Which was very cool! Yes, that Michael Phelps seems like a very nice boy, with a nice family, smart mother who brought him up right. I hope he manages to stay out of trouble and channel his energies into sports and good stuff, not let it all go to his head. He's so young (23) I guess he'll probably just keep working at swimming and train for the next Olympics. Can't see what else he might do afterwards! LOL! He's definitely on top of the world at the moment though. LOL about that ani. He's kind of a goofy looking kid, but the girls seem to love him! It must be pretty cool to be the best in the world!

Oh my gosh, a thousand apologizes Poddy how could I not include Ioan Griffud among the wonderful Welshmen actors? He seems like a pretty upstanding and moral type gentleman and not surprised he's offended by the young celebs of today being total trampettes and setting bad examples for their fans. I think a bit of Wilberforce's moral rectitude might have rubbed off on him from that role.

I heard he got married! Happy for him, our IRoning Board

LOL, well the British/UK types are pretty bawdy in their humor anyway, so not surprised Billie Piper started that (impressive) nickname. giggle. John Barrowman was a devil about flashing his bum and naughty bits on stage at times too - those theater folks are something else again! LOL! It seems to be the year of the Scotsmen - bunch of them are doing very well. James McAvoy chief among them. Think that Kevin McKidd from Journeyman is a Scot, too.

We saw lots of animals at the Fair - cows and chickens and various 4-H type agricultural things. Old timey quilts and crafts. Big pumpkins, hawks, turkeys, a team of Budwiser Clydesdale horses driving a wagon. I didn't know Clydesdales were Scottish too (from the Clyde valley). Also had some Scottish Highland cows that were so cute - covered in shaggy red hair with a red Beatle wig of hair on top of their heads - cute cows. Also didn't know girl cows had horns, but they do.

I'm sort of sorry I didn't go off and be a hippie back to land farmer gal back in the day (I considered it/had it in mind). I just love those critters. But I'm way too lazy to be a good farmer - it's a whole lot of work! I would be curled up with a book while the whole place went to rack and ruin! And of course Mr ML is the laziest man on work (considering how hardworking he can be).

Tough break that Lainie has to wait for the next semester of school, but Fall seems to be the traditional starting time anyway for colleges. She's such a bright kid, I'm sure she'll do well. Sometimes you just have to wait for things. My niece is off to college the end of this week! I hope she loves it/isn't too homesick.

MLette's birthday this week! Mr ML asked me last night "What did I get her?"

He is soooo bad.
