Header DescriptionCharles Schulz cartoon. Lucy tells Snoopy to write her life story. He begins, "Born Crabby".

Uh-oh.
Shiny new story idea incoming.
Nearly completely formed, possibly a light-weight 'chick-flick' (don't really like that term).
Taking over my brain, because *of course* it would when I'm already in the middle of writing three other stories.

Bob.
Loafing.
Annoyed that a fox has dared enter his garden.

I know I've mentioned this before but worth another one because it's amazing: You can download tens of thousands of academic books on a staggering variety of humanities and social studies topics legally for free at the OAPEN library https://library.oapen.org/

Television rec of the week
(or maybe of longer than the week, depending on long it takes me to find another show to recommend):

'Small Prophets' by Mackenzie Crook.

Currently available on BBC iPlayer.
Quiet, low-key sharply observed humans, not making other people's lives, or their own, easier.
Possibly magical realism? Not entirely sure which genre it sits in.

The chaise longue belongs to Bob.
The other sofa also belongs to Bob.

Do I need to actually say anything? Can it just be a neat idea?

*wails* "But what if there is no theme?"

ahem.

As a young amateur painter and future art school dropout, I frequently found myself haunted by the faces of two artists, that famously odd couple from my favorite art history novelization—and Kirk Douglas role and Iggy Pop song—Lust for Life.
