Oh, dear me, I only wish I was being kept. Well, I suppose I am in an odd way. Generally, though, one is being kept for one's skills - ideally in more than one area. I'm just keeping until I find something useful to do. Had better check my best before date. And peacocks do make very good watch critters. Noisy, ornery, reasonably faithful in their brainless way. Apt to make a great deal of noise when potentially harmful strangers get too close.
It's not necessarily the tail that makes me arch...it's an excess of time and lack of other things to do [and probably a lack of wisdom]. Hope you enjoyed the salon. Think next one we'll spend less time building furniture and more time discussing in a drunken haze. That is the general purpose of the salon, no? That and being arch. Damn, and I never should have let you think other than that I was clever with the "their" posting. So much better to be clever when you don't know your doing it...
(had I known real people - in very fetching cartoon hats by the way - might read something I'd posted and take it even remotely seriously I'd never have written a word - well, maybe still would have said no to freezing cheese. Just because you can doesn't mean you should - cheese is already preserved milk. Let it stay perfect as it is.)
