Tell me, what is this here bug? The identity is bugging me.
For the benefit of those seriously deranged people who have missed my Really Awful Rhymes: apologies, but the best one (or, rather, that should read ‘only one’) I have come up with recently is what 3-year-old little J and I evolved on the way home from her pre-school yesterday.
‘Roses are blue
And violets are red …’
‘I don’t think you
Are right in the head!’
She informed me gleefully on the same trip that her teacher ‘nearly fell over’ when she told her she had planted her own Plectranthus.
Anyway, a quick mathematical explanation of my current position:
TA = (W+C+S+E)-(F+B)
(Where TA is Time Available, W is work time, C is chore time, S is sleep time, E is eating time, F is fun time, and B is blogging time.)
What we have briefly at the moment is:
TA = (W+C+E+B)-F+(S-B)
Any questions?

The talent for word play is rubbing off on little J. Hope life settles down for you soon.

I love the poem… but the algebraic formula tells me you have a major problem…. maybe you need a 36 hour day… slow the sun down

No real clue of the bug’s ID. Some sort of Hover Fly perhaps?

It was as big as a fair-sized moth – larger than any fly I’ve seen.

Sadly, not! We are still in limbo while alterations crawl their wearisome way.

Um? Do I take it that you are being stretched in about 6 directions. Something’s got to give.

Would that the directions were only about six! Six dozen, more like …
My mind gave, but that happened a long time ago.

TA = W+C+E+B-F+S-B
B = W+C+E +B-F+S / TA
i.e. B < 0
