Spaghetti

[enismirdal]

There is one problem with having a pack of spaghetti on the desk by my computer. I eat it. It's fun to dip it in coffee - cos it's the instant stuff, if you dip it in very hot coffee it goes floppy pretty quickly, which is fun :)

The Mancunian incredibly soft water might be good in the sense of no limescale whatsoever, but is ruining my hair. It had really improved in condition during Lent term, but now I'm back here, it's gone all dry and flyaway *pouts* Is there any way to make soft water hard again?

Today I am feeling the price of riding without stirrups yesterday. Bruises. Yes. :S

One of my mum's quails seems to have got egg-bound and is kind of half paralysed. She's probably going to die soon, which is bad. Her name is Bogey cos when she was born, she was bogey-coloured. Now she's more like a pale fawn/cream. Sort of magnolia, I guess.

Just randomly looked at your lj :)

With egg-bound birds, you're supposed to be able to crush the egg inside them, which gives them some chance of recovery (I think). Not sure this is a good idea to attempt without professional care though. Poor quail.

Oooh, thanks for the tip! :) I'll remember that one in case it happens again. According to my mum, Bogey's egg was sort of half-stuck to her, like it hadn't come out properly or something.

Amazingly, she's still alive and seems quite perky - she's eating mealworms quite happily. She just can't really walk and her legs sort of stick out behind her :-/

Presumably you can dissolve limescale in it...
