It's just after midnight, and it's been a pretty good day. I got up, abluted and headed out for brekkie and a walk. Ran into some folks to exchange pleasantries on Oxford St, then came home. By that time Scott invited me to join hm and Barry for freshly baked scones. And they were lovely. I toddled off for a steam cleaning and then met the bear boys at the MIdnight Shift Bar for retro night.

Singing, laughing, making out with a very handsome man. Sadly, no "Shout" by Lulu, but a great release.

So I'll leave it at that!

Cheek scraping

Normally I'm fastidious about my work space. But not as of late, particularly at my office at uni. And under a wee pile of detritus I found a DNA sample collection kit. 3 of 'em actually--one for a University College Dublin (free) study, the other two for a private (US$99 per sample) study. Both of clan Egan, which is my surname.

Socialist sensibilities appropriately and effectively offended, the cash cow ones are in the waste bin. I've scraped inside me gob and the envelope is signed and sealed, and will be posted tomorrow to Dublin.

Also fired an email off to me cousine Gerry in Adelaide about our upcoming meeting. She's from the Gibbons side, so I didn't suggest she scrape anything and post it anywhere. For free or fee.

a fascinating story of coincidence. Or fate, depending on your cosomological leaning. It's Ireland, circa 1925 or so.
