Dear sinisterines Well, I think a picnic is a great idea, for lots and lots of reasons...Honey is telling me I should go, even though she can't, but I am a bit crap about getting places and turning up at all, and me knee is playing up, and my back isn't what it used to be, and as for my eyes... actually speaking of my eyes, I was in an opticians rcently and by a tangental leap the young whppersnapper of the optician and I got talking about Carey late of this parish and of Camera Obscura..obviously puzzled by my acquaintance with the young lady in question he asked if I was a musician. The temptation to give voice to my alternative reality in which I am her out of the Delgados surged, but I resisted. Other lies less spectacular - maintaining the fiction of being Irish and having visited Orkney - have caused enough trouble. So, I said primly that I met her through a friend. And that friend is you, sinister. I have enjoyed the lyrical posts of late summer, and the report from gigs and of books, and the requests for reports of gigs and books. It's nice to see sinister rippling again.. Honey and I have two new kittens, which I hope we can keep, as they are invading the resident cat's happy home, but at the moment the five of us girls are all piled up together listening to Echo and the Bunnymen - Honey is doing sinister stuff and playing the music, Mitsou is chewing her paw, Scout (or maybe we'll call her Frog) is dreaming of eating beetles, Splat is trying to pretend we all don't exist and I am writing to you. Take care. Linda PS Just read The Duke's email - Jens is swoonworthy - Katta sent us some of his stuff and we like.. Mon, 22 Aug 2005, lynsey callaghan wrote:
well hello sinister,
it's been a while (apart from that email i sent to you all by mistake made me look and feel very silly, so let's not talk about that. that's what happens when you put the address for a mailing list in your contacts list. woops.)
it was brought to my attention over the weekend by sir kenneth of chu, and then again today, by miss honey, that this saturday (yes! THIS saturday!) is the list's 8th birthday. so, i thought i'd do the honourable thing and propose a picnic, this saturday, in the park. i suggest a jaunt to kelvingrove park, glasgow, on saturday afternoon, with BOUZE and FOOD and other such delights.
who's with me? and more importantly, who wants to take on the responsibility of being picnic mummy (because as anyone who knows me can attest, i will most definitely be late, and that's no good to anyone)?
