Sinister: i predict a picnic...i predict a picnic

[Linda Kerr]

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..
