That is of course assuming I haven't eaten them all by the time you comment...&nbsp; urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ishmael_whale:1446 2007-07-11T15:54:51Z 2007-07-11T15:54:51Z The machines humming Yesterday I had a rather odd dream. There I was,&nbsp;swimming around, when I realised that I couldn't see very far to either side; everything was cloudy and white.&nbsp;Next thing I know, I'm on a spoon being taken towards a giant mouth! Why, dear readers, was I swimming in (what appeared to be) a bowl of&nbsp;cereal? It makes very little sense... If I'd been swimming in a shrimpy ocean it&nbsp;would have made more sense, cos I love shrimp! Mmmmmmmmm.......shrimp...... *drools*&nbsp; urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ishmael_whale:1243 2007-06-16T15:41:32Z 2007-06-16T15:41:32Z The hum of the machines Well it's been a busy couple of days in the shop. I've had lots of scanning to do, and there've been lots of interesting people to see. I had to assist on a little girl's passport this morning, though I was a bit confused that her Mum called her Laura, and then called her Ruby! Make your mind up woman - surely at four she's a bit old to be having her name changed! Two lovely ladies came to visit me earlier. It was very nice to meet <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_vicki_c' lj:user='vicki_c' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://vicki-c.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://vicki-c.livejournal.com/'><b>vicki_c</b></a></span>&nbsp;and her friend (and Ellie's) Abi. <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_vicki_c' lj:user='vicki_c' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://vicki-c.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://vicki-c.livejournal.com/'><b>vicki_c</b></a></span>&nbsp;is really rather pretty, and she stroked my tummy which made me a very happy whale!&nbsp;<br /><br />I'd better be off - duty calls!<br /><br />Tata... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ishmael_whale:854 2007-06-08T08:51:19Z 2007-06-08T08:51:19Z Ellie singing Evita There has been some excitement here in the past few days! Jemma the area manager came down and said that Ellie could clear out the basement, which I think she's been wanting to do for a while! There's been all sorts of interesting stuff coming out I can tell you... There's a big box of yellow torches under my till that have apparently been down there since the late eighties! I believe there may be a plan to give them away with batteries or something... I did take a trip down there yesterday - down to the depths (back to my natural habitat!) It was very strange because I was lost down there for a very long time. I'm glad it's getting cleared out so little&nbsp;whales like me won't be in trouble anymore... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ishmael_whale:567 2007-06-02T15:37:44Z 2007-06-02T15:37:44Z whalesong Hello!&nbsp;<br /><br />It has been a very boring day here in the shop! Very few people want stuff today apparently - except for passport piccies... It's the folk festival though, so lots of strange people in white came in; I think they might have been dancers of some sort...<br /><br />Yesterday was better! There was interesting stuff to scan, and I had to help with a little girl's photo.&nbsp;<br /><br />I got to have my pictures taken today! Yay! Not that I'm at <em>all </em>vain...
