This is a chocolate mould especially for Lizza.
I can now sit on the sofa with them glued to my eyeballs and watch the boats in the marina blundering around . This allows me to tut a lot and say "What IS he doing?" and "No, you"ll never do it that way - not with the wind in this direction".
They also let me watch the progress of the minions who are doing work for the millionaires over the water. The terrible Goddess is a bit concerned that I might get arrested for spying but I have assured her that this is perfectly normal behaviour in this environment.
I came up with another observational plan earlier today.
There is a tour boat that goes by regularly and as it passes, the guide points to our block of apartments and says something I can't quite hear. So I have devised a cunning plan.
I've taken the shade off one of the table lamps and intend to use it as a hearing aid! I've tested it by holding it up to my ear and asking the TG to whisper from the other side of the room - it works brilliantly. However, to hear what the chap is saying on the boat I'll have to use the lampshade and the binoculars together, as I need the information gleaned from lip reading to confirm exactly what is said. I am, at this moment, creating a head harness made from wire coat hangers and some duck tape.
The TG feels that, when I am arrested, this might be held against me..
(I can' t decide whether to prepare a cake with a file in it now, or just buy him a book on self defense ; is he still pretty enough to warrant the expense, I wonder? Lo TG. Ed.)
