A sartorial horror story


We last saw this guy way back here (with a black moustache but he is a bit older now).
I was surprised and impressed to find out - after I'd written this one - that 'nicompoopery' is a real word. Like an in-the-dictionary real word. Though even if it wasn't it should be.

This is pretty much a verbatim transcript of an exchange my son had with one of his friends. Except in real life it got stuck in the loop for what seemed like a much, much longer time.

Rat cunning and total gormlessness in the same small package


That's probably it for today but it's still pretty nice out on the deck so I'm off to start a big one. We might see that tomorrow.

The birds and the peas

There'll be another one up in a couple of hours. I'm on a roll today - spring has sprung and I'm sitting at a table on the deck with the washing flapping in a gentle breeze and dappled sunlight all around my feet.

The return of 'God'


Remember me saying I knew where this story was going? I lied. I have no idea.
