Due to scanner issues some posts are missing but now I can resinstate the missing posts. To start with here is my impression of what the first Christmas would have been like if the mobile phone had been invented over 2000 years ago…


Just a few sketches of things that float into the brain…

When faced with a menu like the following one, it is hard to resist half a kilo of celestial being even if it is a bewildered one…
For those who are curious as to what half a kilo of little bewildered celestial being looks like…

Due to relocating my world east by a few thousand miles I have been without scanner and often without the internet (China telecom have given me ultra fast and ultra inconsistent internet).
Anyway to celebrate the incoming influx of hybrids, sonnets and general rubbish here is the latest addition to the Somerset room (who will be joining Sally and Merlin). Although he is called Patrick I realise now he somehow reminds me of one of my new colleagues…

Sometimes people wonder what I get up to in my hideously long summer holidays. Well this week my computer decided to blue screen then not reboot. A glorious chance to go back to yesteryear (the 90s) before the days of computers…
(I am wondering what they did in the 70s before daytime tv?)

One of the more unpleasant ramifications of the phone hacking scandal in the UK is Alec Baldwin pontificating via twitter
“Cameron should resign. England is FILLED with people who could do a better job.”
It was kind of him to say this about me and my fellow citizens (but obviously he doesn’t think the Welsh or Scots are as worthy – maybe Gordon Brown is a case in point). However he is an actor inhabiting a make believe world most of the time which I think spills into his everyday life, hence his often odd views of reality.
Also shouldn’t he quit since I think America is filled with people who could act better?
Anyway I thought I would find out the views of more performing tarts…
First Cherry Bakewell

Custard Tart shares his views…

And finally a rustic Lemon Tart (the sort in the tart shop that you wonder quite what it is)…
