Last night I dreamed several dreams, all of which seemed to involve Redhead Kitten being pregnant. Sometimes this was incidental to the action, but I spent an inordinate amount of time picking out baby clothes from my mother's stash. She doesn't have a stash of baby clothes, by the way, except for the ones which she knits and are going to various charities, and certainly not in green and brown (strangely no purple ones were chosen) - I have this thing against dressing babies in sex-co-ordinated pale blue or pink but the rest of the world doesn't seem to share this prejudice. It's a boy, btw, although in the dream she didn't know that yet. And AFAIK she has not renounced her vow of childlessness.

Then we have this morning. I wake up stuffy and sneezing, get ready, get out the door, don't miss the bus, even though I was five minutes late, get off the bus and get five metres before it starts pouring with rain. Pouring in that "I can't quite be bothered turning into hail, but here's my impression of what hail is like" way. I'm still damp, and the sun is out.

I also has a new pen jar. It has pretty functions, like an alarm, and a birthday reminder thingy.

Interesting looking at the results for the Australian National (Bridge) Championships, currently being held in Fremantle, WA. SA's Youth Team have lost only to Victoria, and are a little ahead of NSW, who have only lost to SA. They'll have another two full round robins before the Finals.

In the Women's, SA are placed third, with Queensland and NSW yet to play in the first of two round robins (they get more state teams than the Youth). There are certain psychological play traits showing up in the datums there - which I'm sure I would not be seeing if I didn't know the players (from various teams) in whom they're showing up, so far. *wince*

The Seniors' have Victoria and WA yet to play in this round robin, and have played the Bye (which Queensland and Victoria are currently trailing). I don't recognise the names of any of the players in the teams to which SA have had small losses (two of four matches).

Then comes the Open. SA is coming third, having lost to NT, with QLD and ACT (which mabraham is playing in) to go, this round. They trail QLD and Victoria by 9.3 and 8.8 VPS, respectively.

Today's Bulletin also has the interesting note under the list of team members: "The names of all members of this team have not yet been submitted". OK, Colts Team, which is usually as many school-age Youth players as can get there and aren't in other teams, and can be anything up to twenty players in a very bad year...
