Your writing style, the asides, the inconsequential detail, all of it, is a delight. tell you what, I'll stop writing a blog - can't compete with this - and you get yourself sorted and write the book that's screaming to get out. Don't be a wimp and write a piece of froth, you could do that in your sleep, but write the book you owe it to yourself to write. I'll buy it, but I'll not be alone. <br />I'm even prepared to offer myself for nagging duties, along with the Dulverton wench who'll surely wish to be involved in the chivvying along process. Just a thought, but one that won't be going away anywhere soon.<br />Jake.

I'll take a dozen tricky lads over one S-word.<br />Frances! lovely to "see" you again, I DO hope you weren't troubled by hoover dreams. The domestic cage should be lifted by night.<br />Fennie, I didn't know that about Ritalin, how very depressing. Poor boy. Hmmm, do you think I should dig out some colouring pencils and a pad and prod the creative juices so to speak?<br />Wally, blimey, love, way to bring a girl down, SPIDER WARS. Good God! <br />ExpatMum and Pondside, not coming to stay with either of you, you'll be sorry to learn!<br />Maddy, tell me about it, counting down the minutes, hours til he goes.

You buy the padlock, I'll lose the key.<br />Piggy, borrow away, disturbing image now exists of your husband stuck up the chimney.<br />Her At Home, bonjour, lovey. Yup, each time, I forget, and even now am deaf to the occasion waiting down my road when I'm at it again, bending, picking up, stepping on Lego, swearing.<br />Fred, howdy, fridge magnets are full of wisdom. I have one saying "I smile simply because I have no idea what is going on." No, he didn't was too busy covering Stratford and Cirencester. Same insane weekend. My poor children. Sob, they share genetic material. They, too, might willingly purchase lycra.<br />Shiny, bless you, ho ho. You are clearly a sensible slut.

Once in, they can't climb out, so when they get hungry, they fight it out to the death and , well, eat each other. The last one standing on all eights wins. Not so much mess to clean up afterwards.<br />Now if I could only get them to eat unwanted guests....Wally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-56840069166112426292011-09-25T15:03:46.617+01:002011-09-25T15:03:46.617+01:00There are animals that eat dust if you let them an...There are animals that eat dust if you let them and if the spiders don't eat them first. How do spiders get into doubly glazed and insulated houses? One of life's unfathomable mysteries. Yes I was disturbed by the Ritalin mention. Rots the brain apparently and kills creativity. No more Vorsprung durch Technik as it were. Do you know you can get robot vacuum cleaners now that mooch around in the middle of the night and then take them selves back to the plug when the need charging?

It's been rather quiet from the Lite side. And then, today, all is explained.<br /><br />I laughed and laughed, and many childhood memories involving my brothers' shared bedroom floated up from who knows where, bringing their own dust, sound effects and so forth. I might even have dreams involving vacuum cleaners soon.<br /><br />Bravo to you! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561630962952236138.post-15560652919098115032011-09-25T11:50:16.353+01:002011-09-25T11:50:16.353+01:00Thank god you're in practice with spiders.
