MUST BE GETTING EXCITED OR ...
Thinking to meself this morning as the crows rasped their rantings as they do. I grabbed at a few memories of a real community. Romantic I may be but I do hope that next week in the UK the early morning newsagent will greet me as I will visit each day around six. I hope he or she will know which newspapers I wish for. I hope to be able to say a good "Good Morning" with a world in a smile.
I hope that the pub(s) I will visit of an evening time will quickly get to know my drink and never keep asking me "what do you want old man".
But as Ivan Illich used to say so well it is better to live in hope than expectation.

I blame Tug Boat Anna and Trousers for all this reflection-like vanity but there you have it and there it is.

Oh,Damn !!
When are you daring to come in to this forlorn and forsaken land of bad blood ?

Lavi : you seem more poetic by the day and I guess you always were that way.

Are there really still early morning newsagents that are open at 6am? I doubt it.

You're welcome in the Snug any time. Ben will ask "the usual, old man?" [term of endearment], and the Beadle will bring it to you in your silver tankard.

Enjoy your nostalgic return to this waterlogged post-Bliar marshland.

Should that be "terms" of endearment me old mate.
Nostalgic ghosts were never what they were anyway.
BTW : I seem to have half a day in London coming up. Family goes to theatre and I refuse. Stuck in the centre again? Fuck that I say. I will be off to the margins. Home.
I still wear a tee-shirt from very Rich-i-mond canoe club but there again I am .... damn it I blame you all for this.

If there are no nice early morning newsagents around then I shall just have me papers sent to me door before six so there.
Like me early morning walks I do.

Half a day in London? You will be immediately lured to the London Annexe of the Burrow! The Beadle and Wooffie are already at action stations to retrieve you from the concrete wilderness and bring you safely to harbour.

An email wings its way with solid [and liquid] proposals.

Ooooh, don't blame the likes of me for your reflection-like vanity - just hold a mirror up to yourself, me old :)

I think memories of a real community might well remain just that. Still, I do hope you have a very good stay here in Perfidious Albion.

Lavi : I always lighten up at street corners yer know.

Trousers : right again. "Perfidious Albion"? CamperRooney imself could not have thought up such an image.

OK back to me doodles and memories...

Is this Zola pissing up lamposts yet again.
Lavender please do not encourage this uncouth entity anymore. It can only get worse.
