Hrm. We lost another day. This is getting quite serious. This time it was Thursday, which is not such a tragic loss due to my hectic work schedule during termtimes on a Thursday; however, it was still a worrying loss and I'm eager to ensure that it's not repeated. By my calculation we're now down to a four day week here in Slumberland, and while two of those are weekends which means it's tolerable, we'll take much more care with our days of the week in the future. If any more disappear, we'll contact Scooby and the gang.
Speaking of which ... it's only March 31st and my package dispatched on March 29th (see Wednesday's entry) has already got here! Two new Scooby Doo DVDs featuring dastardly deeds, evil villains, hilarious chases and lots more characters who would've gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those meddling kids. So good news all round, there's a solid three hours watching there. These two look pretty good, actually, so I'm glad I picked them up.
I'd like to add my commiserations to Tim's Pigeons XI for their defeat in their first Battrick game, despite a solid performance they eventually lost by nine wickets. A poor showing compared to the mighty Thid Floor Ponderers, who crushed some crappy side by ten wickets to stay in first place in their series. A friendly challenge means these two Battrick Behemoths will meet on Sunday, stay tuned for more details.
The final item in my 'double D' parade (which makes me sound like a pornographic magazine featuring large chested women) is a question to our resident geographers. During a brief discussion last night, for some reason Vicky and I discussed deserts. And I presented the fact that the Atacama Desert is the driest desert in the world. I know it's not glaciers, but if you can confirm that fact for me it'd be great. I'm fairly certain it is, but then again it may not be. However, Vicky was still rather impressed with the speed with which I plucked that random fact out of midair.
In other news the kitchen is now finished but I couldn't think of an alliterative comment for that so I can't talk about it ...

I believe that the Atacama Desert is the driest in the world, due to the Andes acting as a precipitation barrier as the trade winds blow West. Though the driest, it is reasonably cold. The lakes which exist in the area (mainly remaining from glaciers) are drying up because evaporation is occuring faster than precipitation. However....occasionally due to weather variation over the pacific (possibly El NIno) there is heavy rainfall in the area. Finally it should be noticed that driest refers to precipitation, not water present, as there are many salty lakes as well as snow in the Andes. There-sorted?
Awesome alliteration, Andy, and awfully amusing about Atacama and arrival of DVDs. So I couldn't keep the alliteration going till the end, still a pretty good job though, right?
Dry Deserts, Dastardly Deeds, Disappearing Days...whatever next!
Devilish donkeys, methinks...

Andy, I'm worried.. you've now lost over a week in days... which means you are working in negative time, or non existent time, and that can't be good for your health! xx
