Hope & Glory

James Thomson's rather understated and drab erection compared to the deliciously vulgar magnificence of the Marquis of Lothian's.

Still - what he lacked in stature he made up for in words. Many, many, many (yawn) words. But The Seasons can be quite fun if you make a new one up all of your own just by extracting the rude lines. And he did die poetically at least - 'with some careless exasperation'.

Talking of death - Charlie is planning Betty AND Mr Pitt's replacements. Charlie's main concern is how soon would be bad form to remove Betty & Mr Pitt from the Wii doodah...

It's been a grand day. Ad it isn't over yet.

Laughing at 1970s recipe books and then realising that some of what your mum cooked might actually be quite nice to have again
A hot mug of tea after a very cold cycle to work
Pervy Neoprene overshoes
