Fucking Lucy
We were getting a lift to the airport with father-in-law who was talking to me about his racist friends, whom he had been delighted to inform were decended from the earliest homo sapiens in Africa.*
“Yeah, I know,” I said brightly, “Lucy.”
“Yeah?” he said.
“Lucy. That early human. They found her. You know. Ethiopia? First people, maybe. LUCY.”
It was my way of saying (tappytappygoogle) this.
So regular readers here will know it comes as no fucking surprise to discover that two days later I’m heading towards the dinosaur exhibits in the American Museum of Natural History and I turn a corner and there she is - Lucy, all four feet of her with an expression on her artist impression face that says: “This is going in your blog, isn’t it?”
*heh heh - I said “sapiens”
Tomorrow: I go to church

Lucy’s face reminds me a bit of the face I saw on the inside of the peely-back lid from a little thingy (that okay Muppets??) of butter I had in a restaurant on the last day of my holiday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/99163166@N00/464946465/

A Lucy Melt for breakfast? Cool.
You know, I was kinda hoping for instructions.

She’s quite the looker, isn’t she?

A little bony but I think she wears it well, it’s a part of her charm.

That’s not Lucy, by the way. She was lingering nearby, but that’s not her in the picture

That must be her hotter younger sister.

Has she been carrying heavy bags? Her arms seem rather long.

Hey Pat - The hunter/gathering instinct had been wearing thin, so she went to the shops.
