Arrived, as I have over the past couple of years, sometime in May and could stay through the middle of August.
The weather has been hot and dry and doing its part to create the perfect ambiance of malaise required for any holiday in Ert. A spotty Internet connection is offset by the presence of hammocks. The food is tasteless, but on the up-side there’s not much of it.
Would have sent out many postcards reading, “Wish I were there!”, but the point escapes me.
Been passing time with side trips, spending hours and days in Vain, heartily … or half … encouraging apparently retarded seeds to germinate. Any blooming thing could terminate this visit, and I could be packed and ready in a quick hurry, but so far there’s no sign of anything that can be relied upon to root and shoot any time soon.
Have been taking part in many of the activities on offer; frustration, thwarting, vexation, tribulation, angst and anxiety are all scheduled daily.
I am expecting a guest soon and planning to shorten my stay here considerably. Although misery does love company, neither in Ert nor in Vain does one comfortably travel in pairs so we’ll have to get the hell outta Dodge for the duration.
After that, who knows? I am hoping my next stop isn’t in Solvent.
A collection of my short stories:
I'm in this one, too ...
And I'm in here, as well ...

lol hmm your mood these days sounds amazingly like mine Dear Sandy….
Sorry to hear that, Bobby …
~smiles~ its ok, blogged up it myself just now 🙂
I don’t remember writing this. I must be blacking out now too.
This really must be going around … sigh for all of us …
We’re trapped in Ert too, but the food is fine and plentiful, causing us to “blossom.” the seeds we’ve been germinating all seem brilliant, which is about as likely to be accurate as your retarded ones. One of our resident teens is harboring enough anxiety for the entire state. Don’t you wish you were here? Are we having fun yet?
Uh … maybe not, Amy. And, no, we’re not.
ah, and this is a quite timely post, as morning plans here included a post to your wall nagging you to write.
Bobby nagging is what made me do it. Seems messages are still passed to Ert and Vain …
you’re the only known person on earth for which nagging is effective! Eureka!
It doesn’t always work, but when combined with a bit of guilt I can be motivated to be a smart ass …
Not to mention that the nagging came from such… incredibly handsome and charming source… or was that guilt?? :S
You do nag charmingly, and can in so many languages …
Thank heavens for motivation. The rest can be blamed on parental units. apparently that works for most folks. 🙂
So I hear …
Tusen takk er en glede 🙂
Takk igjen. Jeg liker den norske.
~smiles~ maybe I will whisper some to you then if I get to visit 😉 thank you for the comment 🙂 as always (almost anyway) you have an answer waiting 🙂
The last thing a Norwegian whispered to me was, “You can take a fish out of water, but you can’t take water out of a fish.” True story …
Of course I have an answer! 🙂
lol I am not even gonna ask Sandy….
Good thinkin’ …
