Little teapot

I could have done a post about the Oscars, but then I thought... NO, let's talk about teapots.

Actually one teapot in particular, designed by Canadian potter, Margit Nellemann.

How cute is it??? I want one for my new office.

Why join the navy when you can be a pirate?

This makes perfect sense.

I have never been tempted to join the navy (except for maybe when watching Ioan Gruffudd beating the French in Hornblower... but only for a second, like a minisecond, and then the whole 'Oh that was 200+ years ago thing took over).

But really, think about it. Pirates have way more fun, are wealthier, get to wear cool clothes and are more likely to own a parrot.

What's not to like?

There is the whole stealing from people, making them walk the plank bit which could trouble your conscience.

Becoming a buccaneer might be the best option.

Those guys had it all.... Spanish gold, big hats with a feather and permission from the Queen to pillage.
