Encroach

You know when you can hear the rain approaching? I mean, when it's really not raining very hard but the trees a few houses down are really just eating it up, making all kinds of noise, clearly the only ones in this town who want more rain, and it crescendos coming closer and closer until it's really a torrent next door and the light sprinkle in your garden probably won't be very light for very long. That's a good time to decide to stay in for the day.

Leaving for Munich (then Salzburt, Halstatt, Vienna, Budapest) tomorrow. Should be fun.

I like rain every now and again.

Andrew. You would get SO sick if you ate the sugar sculpture. It's made with this stuff called Isomalt, which is a specific sugar alcohol that keeps it workable (keeps it from crystallizing and breaking) at high temperatures. It's definitely for the middle of tables and wedding decorations and people who want to spend a whole lot of money on some other useless thing no one is going to eat.

So icky.

No eating sugar sculptures.
