Oh, so there's only one left in the Treehouse now? Well, in Sweden it's customary (balancing between polite and silly) not to take the last bit of anything edible, in case anyone else wants it, so for one of Sweden's most poular pastries, I suppose it's appropriate. For an even more Swedish touch, there should be half of a bun left, neatly cut with a knife.

Anyway, they could be marked with an 'S' for spiral-shaped.

I meant single units, so there can still be lots of them.

Philosophers of old claimed that any physical object can be divided infinitely many times, so that there is enough bun for everyone.

I have it from a reliable source (my friend's 10 and 12 year old boys) that there can never be enough bun.

Does Fractal taste anything like cinnamon sugar? mmmmm

And I'm neither 10 nor 12, and not a boy, but I agree. Never enough bun, especially the yeasty ones that are soft and just brown on the outside and just almost too hot to eat.

oh, dear, now I'm hungry again...

Not sure where to post this, but "Happy" seems good, since someone will win and that will make them happy...

If I read the Last Dragonslayer, will "Hodder Territories" make some sense?

I want to actually sit down and read the book, and am hoping to get the hardback edition for Christmas. Mostly my reading now is doing by listening to audiobooks. I have too much to do to just sit and read, right now... but I want to make an exception for DS1. Which is a bit confusing, because I think of Detective Sargent Mary Mary when I see "DS". <sigh>

Meanwhile, "Hodder" has me even more confused.

Happy Monday, everyone.... or Thursday, if that is more appropriate.

All this bunfighting made us miss International Hand washing Day on Saturday!!!


Ignoring the embarrassed groans of geg I'll ask you a silly question. How can you tell the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
Answer...you can't wash your hands in a buffalo.
