*joins Mari and Earniel with the honey-tea*
Had a cold/flu type bug all week and now the cedar trees surrounding our house are loaded with pollen. Much I love the sunshine, we could do with a nice, windy rain storm right now...

I thought Jonathon saud huge spiders eat baby flies?
Regardless, I don't really like huge spiders though. I'm not sick yet but I'm overdue for it, just hope it doesn't happen next week, film shoot and all.

Only crawlies I've seen recently have been flies congregating around conifer tree roots on campus. Anyone know what's up with that? Quote:

And yeah, feeding stuff to ants is always fun, albeit quite evil A friend of mine had a fly navigate its way into his ear where it got stuck! My friend was then tortured by the loud buzzing while we tried to remove the fly. We couldn't, so we poured after shave into his ear to kill off the nasty bugger. The buzzing stopped but the after shave stang quite soundly in the ear canal! When the fly was dead, we managed to remove it.

I was once stung by a hornet (huge black critter?). I had a mark/scar for years.
And spiders might eat flies, but spiders are icky while flies are merely annoying... >_< sitruuna sounds like our citroen! I love languages ^_^ Homework, right. I'll be back

No, that's what you want people to think Jonathan said. What did I say about missquoting in the Teacup Café? True, true, it's almost a classic. Quote:

So we use 'sitronsommerfugl' for that butterfly you were talking about. The parts of the word literally mean 'lemon summer bird'

Summer bird for butterfly? I quite like that. I wonder what the origin for butterfly as a word lies. They don't really look buttery to me...
And where would the Dutch word vlinder come from? A friend of mine has an ethomological dictionary of Dutch. Perhaps I ought to borrow it for a while

Aaaaah I'm becoming snowblind It's the time of the year when the sun is a lot brighter on the sky but the snow hasn't melted yet so it's hazardous to do anything but squint or use sunglasses
Soon easter holidays!!! It will involve me lying with my head against the wall of our cabin with the sun centred perfectly in front of me... *drool* ANyways.. I always think of lemons, or as Varna explained, 'sitroner' in Norwegian, when I hear Citröen. Funny I though I was the only one We say summerbird for butterfly because in Norway they of course only appear in the late, late spring and then through the summer and die away sometime in early September (correct me if I'm wrong Varna). So really we only have them in the summermonths which begin very abrubtly and when the summer ends it usually ends equally abruptly. We have really long springs and autumns though with temps at about 10-15 degrees. Anyuthing new in the cafe? Havnt been here in a while it feels!

I was more surprised by the use of 'bird' than by the use of 'summer' actually
Things are here as normal I think. I went to get acquainted with my internship spot today. I will start this Thursday!
