"So," said Pickedum. It was a tense "So" - while Pickedum was always at least a little on edge all the time, this was different.

"So," said Caughlin kindly.

"So..." Pickedum shuffled her legs. "So how are you doing today, Caughlin? Eyes going well? How're Celly and Luna?"

"Yes, my eyes are good, thank you," said Caughlin, smiling. "It's so good to be able to walk around without my head mummified. Although I am a mummy. Ha ha!"

I make it a point to visit BBC and ABC's news portals at least every other day. I read quite a volume of material, but my retention rate is pretty poor. This is a new initiative I'm taking up - every time I collect five headlines I thought were particularly interesting, I'll do a blog about them, and so expand my horizons just a little bit more! Present Perfect has made a small industry out of sharing the stuff he reads; while I won't be

I feel mildly dizzy, my head is heavy, and I am disappoint with my digestive system.
