From a railway carriage

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Abandoning our green-fingered duties once again.

Alas, we will not be able to tend our plot this weekend as we will be rehearsing strenuously (no special support underwear required) with the Atavar Trio for our debut concert in a month’s time.

The college building where I am working in Leicester [...]

Too excited to sleep

No, I’m not worked up over the new Harry Potter. Nor is it that I have vouchers for fabulous new shoes. And though I’m thrilled that Eugene has discovered the mole in the Big Brother House, it would be a pretty poor show if that was keeping me awake. It’s not even [...]

Molto gustoso

A fabulous day today, but too hot to do anything strenuous so I’m popping out to the garden for a spot of work, coming in again when I get too hot, then going out again when the lure of the sunshine becomes irresistible. It like a suburban version of the hokey-cokey.
