https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variations_of_green
Something in the Fern style, pale and bluish. It's a dominant theme of our living room, black/mint/glass. I could knit a protective cover for the
pinball table, since the orange-yellow does clash.

Mint Green
I looked up "mint green" on the internet myself and it seems the only colours that look like real mint are those that are called just "mint". Mint
greens are generally sickening bright colours that make no sense unless you think of artificial mint sweet flavours and colours. Try the following,
but it's a long list and you'll have to do a text search in the page for the word "mint".

Of course colours of fabric aren't as bright as on the PC screen. The curtains, and until February the carpet, are a nice gentle natural green. Sets
off the plants nicely.

Green was me mom's favorite colour. She really enjoyed the greens of the Mt. pines and grasses in the Sierra Nevada Mt. range through the flat
farmlands to the green rolling hills that are the CA. coastal range.
Come to think of it my refried sister must like green too. She married Bob Green and they named they're kid Shannon Misty Green!
I don't like green all that much anymore, she (my sister) kinda' ruined the colour for me. I associate it with hypocrites and big bad gods now.

Had another one of my luck streaks. Yesterday morning I stubbed my right little toe on the vacuum cleaner. It hurt and my cry of pain was louder than
I expected, and echoed through the chimney. It's still a bit painful.
Yesterday evening I had been working on my website and went to bed late: on the way there I stubbed my left little toe on a table. OUCH.

We stopped wearing shoes indoors when we got the new carpet. Keeping it clean and making it last onger.

Broken toes versus longer lasting carpet ...
My Mum's back on normal diet and routine. She still needs a walking frame to get around and one assistant, not to help, just to observe in case she
gets into difficulty, but she's well on the mend.
The good news for me is that after all my tests came back the surgeons aren't in such a hurry, so it'll probably be done in late November which means
an uninterrupted second semester. It's still pretty awesome but I've known since mid 2010 that it had to happen some time and this time around I'm
facing it from a position of good health and fitness.
Right now I'm flat out like a lizard drinking with two major exams less than two weeks away.

Oh that's great! I hope your mom keeps improving and your health stays good! Good luck with your exam!
I went to play guide dog yesterday, much to the dismay of my father who was organising a barbecue on that day. We went on a first aid course at the
Red Cross in Barneveld. Refreshed my knowledge on reanimation and stuff.

Dad and I went to remove the ad board of his old company, that decorated the barbecue. Triangular and 2 metres high, and not a light-weight. With the
location being in the middle of the woods, that was some work, considering we don't have a car and dad wasn't prepared to rent one for the short
distance.
So this Monday, people on an outing between Eindhoven and Geldrop, could see a man and his daughter, lugging a little cart around through the forest.
Hoping I won't be sore all over.

Going into the woods reminds me of a riddle.
*Q: How far can a wolf run into the woods?
Glad to hear your mom's doing better Poly. I don't think the surgeons can fix you though. They'll never get those Zappa tunes outta your head without
making you just another plain ol' OZzie, kinda guy. You know the kind, the "Shrimp on the Barbie while watchin' Crocodile Dundee and listenin' to The
Bee Gees" kinda guy. Ya gotta watch out for them thar Doc's Poly. They want to neuter all free thought down-under! 
I'm glad you don't have to worry about it until Nov. or so. That's cool.
What does your Pop's old work sign say Bonny and what was it doing in the middle of the woods?
It's raining here. That's a big deal in the summer in California! But rest assured, it will be in the 100's f. by the end of the week.
*A: Halfway. The other half he's running out!

Dad had used the sign for decoration at his barbecue of old colleagues at that camping farm in the middle of the woods.
Aaaand I'm sore.

My Youtube link on my favorites bar automatically searches for Tim Curry. Twice a day I check for something new.
For some reason, yesterday the "Adventures of Greggery Peccary" popped in there, bizarrely since the only link I ever found between TC and FZ is some
fan once gave TC an FZ-shirt at one of his concerts. Oh, and Duckman, and Bench Pressley.
What was that spying programme called again?

You can't seem to catch a break BP. Nice to hear from old friends though.

Had one break once, and that hurt so I'm not doing that again.

No, but the curtain posing next to it was described as "mint green" when we bought it years ago.
