six in the morning in Canada here. I’ve been up all night with depression…usually it works the opposite way but I can’t sleep all day too. Can I. Canadians just don’t.What with the industrious beaver.
Just stepped out to get firewood from the yard. Nice mix of snow and rain falling. Which may slow the arrival of smoke frankly and I may have to kill something by noon. But you made me laugh very hard.
I think I know the lecturing lesbian. They’ve cloned her and she lives all up and down my little backstreet here and has taken over my favourite bar on Friday nights. I have nowhere to go. I blog.
Thankyou for your blog. I’m going to link to it. Mine’s at wordpress too. It isn’t very funny. My cat isn’t well. later dude. And keep up the hard work.
Redneckarts, hello, and thank you! I didn’t even know you could comment in about, which, in honour of Candianness, I am currently internally pronouncing ‘aboat’.
But sorry to hear about the gloom. What helps? What makes the depression subside? I say wrap yourself up warm in front of that fire - let me imagine you live in a nice wooden house in the forest surrounded by lots of nothing. Can I come and stay? (Are you by the sea?) - and blog more and paint more and fall in love and stroke your cat and… and… everything.
I’m so glad I made you laugh. That means blogging is a good thing. Please drop by for a chat whenever you feel like it.
thank you so. I will visit. Our first blizzard here and it cheers me up enormously. And I do say aboot. And I am in the country’s middle and far from the sea. A wooden building in a town more like Miss Marple’s than you’d believe. Quaint enough to gag a maggot as they say in the bushland about twenty minutes north, I’m from farther that way. And you can come to stay. This blizzard helps the gloom enormously. Thankyou. later then.

I love your icons and paintings of Robert. I need to scour your site(s) more. Now I’m a great believer in reciprocal linkage, but am wondering if I should list you under ‘blogroll’ or ‘other’. My inclination is towards ‘other’, as you’re not exactly a blog, but do say if you have a preference either way. Is the hall pictured here your very own hall? If so, I’m on the next plane. We could play ’scenes from films’ - we’ll make up the rules once I arrive - for EVER.
Hi,
I couldn`t sleep and was reading your BLOG all night.
a ) great for learning / brushing up my English
b ) totally funny, hilarious, excellent !!!! ( I love it )
No need to be broke……
Just contact me, I am Terminator 4.
Greetings :-)
Michael
P.S. Live in Berlin, but get paid from somewhere else….!
Michael, I am so glad you liked it. Thank you. That sort of comment makes blogging more than worthwhile. As you can see from the comments above yours, I am a great cure for insomnia! Actually, I couldn’t sleep all night either. I mean, I could have slept but was forbidden from doing so by having to work (and surf). And I’m not nearly done. And it’s 6.30am.
Living in Berlin and getting paid from somewhere else is sound advice. Actually, I mostly do that. It’s just getting the payers-from-elsewhere to meet their side of the bargain that’s difficult. When they really start misbehaving, I will seek out your terminatorly assistance. (What do terminators do?)
I have been sitting here, at work, wasting precious tax-payers money for the last hour, reading your blog. Your writing is phenomenal - at least by the blogging standards that I have come across. Anyway, I miss Berlin dearly and hope you continue to be inspired to write about it. Alles jute!
Sil, thank you. What an incredibly nice thing to say. And far be it from me to encourage wasting tax-payers’ money, but I’m sure blog-reading ranks right up there amongst the better wastes of time. Inspiration is frequently lacking, I have to say, but I’ll keep plugging away as best I can. Alles jute to you too!
I’m avoiding writing an essay on tenth-century monastic reform by reading your blog. This is a service more valuable than you may ever know.
And your family seems to live in somewhere near my corner of south-west London, if I read the references to Twitnam aright! (Used to live just off Twickenham high street, now live in Chiswick. Which I suppose is actually west London. And I only live there in the holidays now.)
But yes, really awesome blog - fucking hilarious. Thank you.
Marthe, thank you. Your comment has made my day. If I’ve provided a distraction, though as a responsible adult I do, of course, encourage you to write your essay on tenth-century monastic reform - where? In Britain, you mean? Sounds rather fab, actually - then that is a good thing and I can delay, or tell my conscience to delay, thinking that blogging is a naughtily self-indulgent and silly thing to do.
Yep, good old Twickers. Was there just last week. Teddington Lock is my refuge for when I need to run away from my mother.
All the best to you.
Pleite, we don’t know you! Who is hidden behind these amusing and well-written articles?
Maybe I am wrong but it sounds that your sense of humour is similar to the British one! Are you English, Scottish… or worse… French?*
*Please people don’t be angry after reading this bad word! It is a joke! I am French and it is nice to make fun of my native country!
Hi mr pleite! thanks for replying to my europop quiz - you win a runner up prize. Email me on acediscoveries@gmail.com, and I’ll let you know more.
Hi Adrian, and thank you. The e-mail should be with you. Already looking forward to the red carpet.
Emeline, well I can’t say too much of course, as I have to keep my sooper-dooper hidden identity hidden. But, yes, an Englishman in Berlin. I sometimes claim to have Scottish origins, but I think it’s a lie. And I did spend some formative (of a sort) years in France, but I suppose I’m still a rosbif at heart.
