Miss me?
Mr. Jaunty and I will be house-sitting for a few weeks. The home in question has a piano, accordion, three cats, treehouse, garden, fruit trees, badminton net, basketball hoop, a Wii, great Lego collection, movies ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to Eddie Izzard, and maybe a thousand books. A neighbor has offered to share his pool.
THAT’s why I missed the last two days of Summer Black-Out 2010: blissful distraction. If you could use some distraction yourself, start with a classic:
The blog may be quiet, but don’t worry — my daily outfits are less noteworthy than ever before. Personal hygiene can’t compete with all these luscious distractions. Let’s skip photos, shall we?

Yes, actually I have missed you.
Not in a pining sort of way,
More in a ‘my beloved Jauntys are having a fabulous staycation
and I will hear all about it later’ sort of way.
Rock On !

My blog-mate Millie and I will stay up ’till ridiculous hours of the morning watching Eddie Izzard on Youtube and msn-ing our laughter back and forth to one another. And you have to love anyone who can rock the double-breasted blazer!

Stitchywitchy – Are you deliberately quoting Lionel’s father, or just channeling him?
Katie – Eddie Izzard is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
