..or some very good reasons never to go outside again. I saw a girl with purple eyebrows, rather fetching, and I saw a fat rainbow, most vivid and splendid, and I could see the bottom of it too!, and then I saw a 3 and half foot high leprechaun, red beard and all, running from the direction of the rainbow and chasing a boy who was looking well pleased with himself, finally I saw a man having sex with a lamp-post and no, I wouldn't be able to recognise him again because he had covered his face with ivy. Not a word of a lie. Not a word.

No! But I did turn to my daughter, also a witness, and ask 'am I dreaming? are we both dreaming? This can't be real' and she said 'no, if you were dreaming there'd be a Number 8 bus'. You won't get this joke, but the point of it is that it doesn't come very often, which was very witty of her so I laughed a lot and felt that I must still be dreaming.

Considering the scarcity of the number eight service, you don't happen to comment on it when it does go past and say "Oh Look!!! There's a bus!!!!!!" Do you? It's just - and I'm a fool for admitting this - but in the town I used to live in - the 281 was supposed to be every fifteen minutes and wasn't - so therefore, such was it's rarity that we would say the above in incredulous tones every time we saw one........ Now. With much amusement, we live in a place with buses running all over the place at all times - so saying "Oh! Look!! There's a bus!" is now done - with a certain amount of amusement - in a heavily ironic way. Damn, need and embarrassed smiley now. Oh Look!

On Thursday I saw lots of fat people in Manchester. To be fair though, I also saw lots of cloned young ladies with overly straight hair and no figure whatsoever, and they do like dressing to impress whilst perusing the malls of the Arndale Centre! It's just occurred to what they look like:

Today (for this is the question asked) I saw a lot of puddles and wet dogs. And the aroma of Wet Dog lingers still - which is odd, because I thought I had lost my sense of smell.
What strange folk you have down your way Trubble - a boy pleased at being chased by a leprechaun. Is he ( do you think) hoping to collect a lot of witnesses for his court case,so he can sue said leprechaun for harassment, thus collecting lots of compensation?

Yes, we do have strange folk, that was all seen in the space of a half hour outing too. It never dawned on me that I might have to be a witness in the leprechaun case though! The lamp-post one, fair enough, but I really don't want to get embroiled in the Little People's affairs. Wet Dog aroma has that lingering thing about it. Have you really lost your sense of smell?

Today I saw the physiotherapist. He was a very nice young man who smiled a lot and had me lying on my back within minutes.
He's given me some exercises to do which hopefully will strengthen my back muscles and prevent another occurrence of the excruciating pain that I suffered a few weeks ago.
I have another appointment with him in 5 weeks. ;D

Today I saw a large box arrive and knew I had a battle on my hands. Good job I'm a dab hand with a screwdriver eh? Best Beloved's 40th B'Day Present - (albeit a couple of weeks early!) (Hope she doesn't expect the same to be spent on her for Christmas! )

Hey, Patrick, was that snooker table leaning up against the wall before or after you got the piano? ;D Well spotted that man! That was last years b'day pressie - but it was "a snip" from ebay! It's probably 1960/70something - "E.J Riley" slate job - the same as my Dad used to have, but my brother gave away at some point

I can believe they look like that but..what is that? Hattifatteners of course! The Christmas Trees have started climbing the walls around here - a strange custom - I know not where it originates - never seen it anywhere else - They fly in - roost on the side of buildings, about first floor height until mid January when the air is filled with the sound of distant thumps, tinkles and muffled cries denoting the time that they launch their attack on the populace

P.S. I was on Bombay Street too. Don't call me sectarian! But the light was fading by the time we got the other side of the Peace Fence (what a disgrace!) so the photos of the timaloid side are rubbish.
