the girls left

yesterday evening meaning anytime between four and nine pm or seven thirty when we call

they had done some clearing up and were being helpful

and then belle came back today for lonely time which now consists of her catching up with her tv watching while taking up all the room in my bed and expecting to be fed prawn crackers

belle just farted for the last time

the return of the goobs!

noé is coming tomorrow but the grills are expected today

have not been blogging my reading but will get the help to put up thumbnails at least. spending so much on books that at one point there was less that five pounds left in the account

oh, and i have come across montaigne. i might have mentioned that

woke up at five and started waiting for belle and rosie and rearranging stuff

why do i smoke dope? because it opens up my head, relaxes me and connects me with the universe

next question, why do people smoke nicotine?

i have got backache

but i am working on it. there may even be some symptom transfer going on but i think i know some of the reasons why

unlikely to make it to arundel while the weather lasts. next spring maybe

caught up with caro and kavan (joke)

got a multiple letter from belle squelle which made me very happy

i am beginning to learn how to live from montaigne and reached an understanding with karo about the reason for the decline of educational standards

it is results season and the beeb is showing selected kids (awoken early) having their grades read out by proud deputy headmasters. if only they would read out some results from the other end of the scale

allahoakhbar! fukme allah! you can invent new ones can't you? there are the hadith for a start

they clip your claws and cut your your hair, its one step from the jungle to the zoo courtesy of eco

i am so looking forward to the children coming back
