Crisis!

Qantas has grounded all aircraft! We will be stuck in Los Angeles waiting to get back home. Jenny: what can we do in LA for one day? Our travel agent is hot on the job so I'm not worried; we'll get home even if it takes a while.

Tim got bagels for breakfast which we ate with the delicious wild mayhaw jelly. Mary knew it is a wild hawthorn and googled it to discover that it used to be a family tradition to go mayhaw picking in the woods - "a tradition now sadly defunct" - except at Wokulla Springs. Somebody should tell them.

Meanwhile today we are watching The Game Florida Gators versus Georgia Bulldogs and the Dawgs are winning which is causing great anguish in this house.

When The Game is over we will attack Ben & Jerrys ice-cream. It was buy one get one free at Publix so I bought 6 different flavours: Pumpkin Cheesecake, Chunky Monkey, Cherry Garcia, Red Velvet Cake, Everything But The... and Imagine World Piece. The names are a big part of Ben and Jerrys. If you suggest a name that they adopt you get a lifetime supply of ice cream.

Here we are with Tim and Mary optimistically toasting the Gators' success:
But they lost 20 to 24...
