Now I am all self-conscious from the weekend and wondering whether this is really B&S content. I would not be writing it if it were not for the band's existance, so is not that justification enough? Yesterday I drove home from work through the town, instead of the back roads I prefer to travel about on; I had errands to do. I noticed that one young man directing traffic bore a certain resemblance to Stuart M., or at least what I suppose he looks like (he looked frightened). I think he was attempting to disguise himself because he was sporting a slight beard. Now since I live in the United States, I thought this would be news; it is like seeing Elvis, only this supposed Stuart was alive, and Scottish. Has the pressure of stardom already had its toll on Stuart that he has to moonlight in manual labor and contruction? Now that I think back upon it, I should have stopped the car and asked him to have tea with me. We could have brought a table out into the street, sipped our tea and nibbled politely on scones. We could have read each other our favourite passages from _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_. And all around us would be traffic, honking horns, yelling curses at us to move the tea table from the street; we would not though because we would have been discussing delicate matters. (If Genevieve has her own Stuart David, why can't I have my own pretend Stuart M.?) Why doesn't everyone on the list meet at Primrose Hill on the longest day of the year, officially change their names to Belle and/or Sebastian there, and have a group marriage ceremony there. That would certainly be newsworthy, at least to some put off Druids who wanted the hill to themselves for the summer solstice. If we didn't make the national press, we could always make "Druid Weekly". Of course, no one has proposed to me, so last night I resigned myself to the life of a spinster--I found fifty cats to live with me, I took up knitting, and I am currently attempting to frighten the children on my street.
