marmite
this afternoon, as i went out to buy things to fill the fridge with, (morning's contents; frozen butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry paste) i had the chance to chat with mom's neighbour, a sweet but senile old man whose greatest concern about mom's house is the chipping stucco along the edge of the parking slab. he and his wife are all but deaf, so i can make all the noise i care to make, but in return have to sleep through their tv at top volume.

when i left, he was on an aluminum ladder, stapling up christmas lights along the eaves. it struck me as odd that he was choosing to do this with the lights plugged in, presumably so he'd know immediately if he put a staple through the wire.

oh yeah. there was marmite too. marmite! i can't imagine...
