Bob - bloody hell - are you telling me that the continental market wasn't so continental after all? I bought garlic, plums, cherries and cheese from there on Sunday in a fit of charmed delight. Quelle Horreur! Also - I've too got fed up with air-freighted plastic covered fruit and veg and apart from bananas/oranges/lemons/grapes (!) which I buy fairtrade - I get the rest delivered from an organic supplier that sources veg/fruit from UK. I'll send you the link if you are interested. It's quite nice as you get what's in season - although I have to say I roasted alot of celeriac over the winter months!

I used to visit his blog alot. You may like it. xx
Thanks Ro - yes, I had a look and he seems to have packed it in. Hopefully only temporarily. He's right about the way it makes you consider what you're going to write a bit more than when you know you can scrub it all out and start again. Also, as an Eno fan, I like the way you can incorporate the mistakes into the finished article, as it were...
My motives were partly selfish - I couldn't be arsed to retype something I wrote on holiday and partly to see if it saved a bit of leccy. Not sure if it's more eco-friendly as my camera goes through the batteries at an alarming rate, but as a slow typist, it may save a few kilo watts over the next decade...
Excellent Tim - I may have to go for a re-brand. Just wait till you see the clockwork turntable!!
Did I say Gallic, D? Sorry - I meant *garlic*, obviously...
Ro - you are too kind. I may not be as original as Mr. Padcasting.net, but at least I have a nicer line in Moleskine notebook. Well, and lingerie - if truth be told.
Ister. Only you could find a deeply disturbing homosexual innuendo on the shelves of the local super marche.,
As Brian Cant once sang: "it;s simply supersonic perambulating round the Supermart..."
Bob, you do realise you've just invented a new internet phenomenon - the hand-written weblog?

Nice Bob. I've always enjoyed a good Gallic shrug myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the new look by the way.
ReplyDeleteI went to Sainsbury's today and bought a cucumber.

Make of that what you will.

That was my favourite song when I was about seven.

A one-trick pony like Rushdie gets a gong, and Brian Cant is left empty-handed. Again. The world's broken.
