Sinister: puppets! on bicycles! with vultures! and snakes!

SNAKES ALIVE!

Who remembers those little diamond cake decorations? The jelly ish ones with 
sugar on them? They were great. Cake toppings are great. I would dream of a 
day when I could afford a whole tubful. In fact, I still do.

I’ve had a busy weeks Finging. Actually, it’s more than a week, but it began 
with the picnic. What a lovely picnic too. I co coordinated my clothes, and 
surprised Glam Pam by sporting tights. This is a strange thing to be 
surprised about. I support tights though. Then I was followed home by some 
people who stayed a while and listened to Wire with me. Juicy Lucy tried to 
steal a scooter. Liz Daplyn refused to leave, she loved it so. She knows the 
score about astral dangers.   The day after Ally Cooke appeared from a 
coach. He went directly to the pub. We followed. Tim Hopkins led us around, 
pretending he knew where he was. Later that week I wandered round Aldgate 
with Ally; we saw some joggers. They’d been running for ages. We saw a 
mosaic of Chris Leonard. We’ll show you the photos one day. Then we went to 
the pub. Forever. I can’t quite remember what happened over the next few 
days. The Foxgloves played under a building on Wednesday, they were ace, 
even if Martin Robinson couldn’t be arsed to stand up. Friday I think I was 
in a pub again. With the Fisting Alder Sisters. Oh, you sure missed out. 
Saturday night Lucy barbecued her flatmates, and we all had a feast. Later 
on in the evening Nicky D got the Quips and Quotes Book out and all we had a 
bit of a laugh at women drivers. Then he tried to put his foot behind his 
head. Fun. Sunday I went to Greenwich to scavenge food and climb under 
hedges. Oh and Pam cooked some stuff too, in case the stuff I found under 
the hedge wasn’t filling enough. Sez made a marv batch of Yorkshire 
puddings. Lupe cut hair beautifully. Then I went home. That was the week’s 
activities.

Today though, is boring. Later on I will go to a Euston to meet Starry and 
Honey and Linda and then to a pub to meet Elena and Paul and other people, 
then to see a band. The Manganese Files, or something. Last night I did 
something to my hair involving plaits and stuff, today I look like a cocker 
spaniel with a perm. Bad.

I think I’ll go and catch up with all the email I’ve not read in the last 
week.
