It’s silly to *shilly-shally around. We need to salvage the situation swiftly and not saunter into the future as if everything is secure. The scientists have solved many sizzling problems in the past and got us out of some supremely stupid situations, but we shouldn’t be slack or serenely indifferent. That’d be slovenly.
I spoke with a saffron robed sheila who said she had specialised superpowers and could streamline the supply of oil and water to see us out - even when we’ve stripped the silver lining from the shale shelves in Siberia.
Should I call her “saviour”?

...and Salubrious Salutations to Sue!
Roberto, haha, I'm all out of witty retorts, but thanks :)
Sue, You've used some of my favorite phrases... Shilly shally. I guess we don't realize our phrases until we see them in print, huh? I always said to my kids, "Stop your shilly shallying, and do______."
Saffron robe, too. I use that a lot. See, we must think alike. This post is a favorite.

Hey Sue! I love your blog! What a great 'S' post..I'm just on 'Q', I started late..you have a wonderful way of thinking and putting it down, very enjoyable! And I LOVE the painting!
S-plendid :)
Manzanita, I'd thought it was a peculiarly Australian or English expression. I'm interested to hear you use it too. It takes me by surprise when I realise I have favourite expressions.
Eve, thanks, as they say, better late than never. East Side Gallery has provided many of my pics for these posts. It's a brilliant place and really worth a visit.
Tony, thanks!
Here, I don't really believe this will work.
