Toadfish Monastery

Except possibly around the candles 

Very nice candlelit meditation (Where's the smiley for "smug grin"?). Today I was looking for pictures of Budapest with its lights out (found one!) and found that the majority of pictures supposedly depicting "Earth Hour" show monuments "moments before plunging into darkness". The ones that are supposedly in darkness are mostly notable for the number of lights you can still see burning. Of course, it's a bit silly looking for pictures of things in the dark, now I come to think of it.

[Thank you Darlica for your welcome]

Just lights? I thought I read somewhere that it was lights and appliances. I was planning simply to turn off the main electricity switch - since we have power cuts about once a week I'm getting quite used to resetting the few clocks that need it! Of course, I do understand that there are some who have many and complicated clocks to reset if they lose/switch off power to everything. Here they are promising to turn off the lights on at least one of the bridges across the Duna (that's the Danube for those who don't know).

Looking forward to my candlelit meditation - oops only 10 minutes to go.

There's a website (of course) which you may already have discovered: http://www.earthhour.org/home/

Nude teenagers were streaking across the watermelon patch with abandon. Striped socks became muddy symbols of bourgeois trotskyism, undermining the prudish prudency of age.  Over the course of Tuesday's passing salivating pervs lined up for vaccination at the local seamstress Union lodge. Their aprons were worn to prevent burns from curling irons suspended from the chandeliers. From there one could with ease pick several of these Union jabs. The semi-nudes performed mime. The full-nudes sang arias about squirrels. Never had they conceived, being virgins. Mary Squirrel, Archon Basileus of the Midsomer Zombies, grasped the hard throbbing replacement heart brought by Igors 'R Us Inc. before anyone else tried to take a stance on macroeconomics.

Agriefed by mass transit delays in Iceland causing mass confusion among salmon, Emilia Thorgalsdottir launched her campaign against presidential flatulence.  This turned out to be more unsavoury than pilchard custard.  Nauseated by olfactory overload she invested a quiet million bucks and does 50 push-ups every hour. But no, even this
