wanders into Treehouse

wonders about 'suggests pies'

wonders if 'suggest pies' should be marked with 's' for suspect as 'suggesting' may not mean 'real' as we know it in relation to 'pies'.

wanders off musing of multi-universal pie as occupying this and all adjacent spaces

wonders where the sauce will be kept if all universes occupied with pies?

thinks " the first quantum theorists never had problems like this"

contemplates sausage roll but is scared of BK and a pointy stick appearing from over the eastern horizon intent on curtailing recidivist thoughts.

reads 'golden egg'

<is suffering/enduring/experiencing partial processing failure in visual cortex and thus getting funny impressions into bit of brain which thinks it thinks>

reads as "geg n gold"

then as "eg glen dog"

then as "god neggle"

which is more satisfying somehow.

Return from having fun with bumpersized carton of bumnuts

Scatter them about cunningly

Stable Speckles

After all that fun we both need a shower

Will use the downstairs's facilities

find door locked and strange noise proceeding from the room

What doth it profit a woman if she cannot remove grease and fluff,

in the bathroom of her choice, after having fun?

Spot obvious cadbury's fruit and nut case wandering by

Realise it is button bursting Bunyip and offer him succour from a sherbert fountain

Also realise he has o'd'd on a substance of dubious nature

Hop on speckles and gallop orf for help pursued by inadvertant anagram

Was in supermarket in self serve goodies section and noticed a container marked 'Speckles'.

Container had label adviseing that this product was out of stock at present and was expected back later.

Moved om.

Saw another container filled with large chocolate discs covered with hundreds-and-thousands

Label advised they were : 'Large Speckles'

If so, must be quantum effect of multiple speckles from the 'many worlds' explanation of quantum and they must be severely affected by the interaction of being viewed as they were all foreshortened in a three dimensional frame of reference.

Come back Speckles. All is forgiven!!!!!

Speckles returns after being lost in a passwordless hell.

Note changes of names to OB and Speckless

Hose Specky down and chuck him some chocolate easter bunnies

Wonders why Bunyip is talking in the past tense.

Has he become a yesterday's man?
