Pee & Pansies

RC enjoyed a fine bottle of...

Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush
it is a 2005 New Zealand White Wine made as a fund raiser for the SPCA.

In other news, my daughters best friends father passed away rather tragically just over a week ago and the memorial was today. The girl who lost her father and T were given a dozen bouquets of pansies and asked to distribute them amongst the varied guests.

The two girls handed out a number of the arrangements before they reached a couple whom they thought to bestow the next one upon. They walked up to the two men (a gay male couple) and with an outstretched hand offered them a bouquet and a quiet thank you for attending the service.

One of the two men, looks up at the girls and says tongue in cheek, "What are you implying, that we're a bunch of pansies?"

Both girls giggling and chuckling, apologizing with laughter in their voices. Even in the face of grief, sorrow and moving on, it is possible, to find some small comfort in, humour.
