<peers into holes caused by sock excavation looking for elusive rule book>
<buries honey>

<appears on Bib-wit's shoulder, with tiny pitchfork, and hands her note saying "Gahwaaaaan, you know you want to...">

Anyone want to talk about chocolate mousse cake? No? Carry on.

<appears on Bibwit's other shoulder with little halo and reassures her>

<Swipes little person and cat off shoulders>

<Looks for stray moose to feed found chocolate to with purloined pitchfork>

<finds empty jar that has been damaged in an unnatural explosion>

<reenters thread looking for signs of underwear on beavers>

<leaves Hindley Street>

<goes to Maslins>

<sun has set>

<drops in on locals known to bunyip>

<leaves with search unrequited as locals known to bunyip have hit the booze while watching Bathurst 1000 and they are Holden fans>

<Slinks away with glee as Ford won>

<resumes search for signs of underwear/fart jokes/swearing/unseemly gestures. Chooses ASunty Jack and Pizz as next sample>

<stumbles across moose and desperately seeking bunyip>

<moves on>

<flaps wings>

<wishes fervently for a pair of candy cane striped wings>

<soothes upset moose with hugs and little decorations made from radish>

<comforts radish-intolerant moose with carrots>

Hmmm... 'The Princess Bride' appears to be a good book.

<is devastated that the moose is no longer her's>


Was it a book?

If you can get the anniversary edition of the book it has quite a few extras = including a bit of the intended sequel.

An exceedingly odd book....

Good though. William Golding, of King of the Bugs fame.

Deliberate, Martin?

William Goldman/William Golding

Sometimes you are too devious......

What is deliberate? That I did not like Lord of the Flies?

That may be a deliberate attempt by all teachers everywhere to make setworks drab and dull then....

Judging from my English GCSE books they succeeded.

I'll have to add the book version of Princess Bride to future list of books to read when rich and can afford more of them.

You don't need to be rich to buy books? Impoverish yourself like the rest of us, or... go to the library!

E.

It is having to return books I like, I always get sad at saying goodbye to a good book. Even giving a copy of a book I already own as a present.

I only want to be rich in friends and books.

We live next to a library - so I just pretend its the West Wing. Often surprised to see other people in there.

Ah, that would be heaven, living next to a library.

Really, really good if you like videos, copies of Good Housekeeping or pictures of poppies painted by local art group.
