Sinister: Re: knitting challenges, enid blyton, owls and B&S

[JENOWL22 at xxx.com]

Hello all and sundry!

Last night I was in my attic, and all of a sudden, a bag fell on me. 
"What can this be?" I thought as I sat rubbing my head.
I opened the bag, and out popped, not a mad creature, or even a poetry 
parrot, but, to my surprise, the entire St. Clares series by Enid Blyton.
"Hello they said, you haven't read us since you were six, please read us."
And the littlest one was crying, so I said,
"All right, all right." and promised I'd read them all.  
And to my delight, they were all very nice. So tonight I might go up to the 
attic and see if anything else falls on me.

Does anyone watch the "Famous Five" programmes on ITV? Apparently I look like 
George. I should never have got my hair cut.

I've accepted Archel's challenge to knit. Yay! An incentive to finish it!


I bought a fluffy cuddly toy owl. It has little red earmuffs and a tartan 
scarf. It's very nice to snuggle in bed with. 

Yesterday, in English, we had to deliver a talk, with only five minutes to 
prepare. So I got up and mumbled something about how amazing B&S were, and 
how the lyrics were dead profound, and got a real slagging afterwards. Still, 
I got a 1, so maybe my english teacher is a closet B&S fan. 

Also, I think the world would be a much nicer place if everyone owned at 
least one belle and sebastian or even gentle waves record, and played it 
twice daily.
