The title for this post comes from ‘top searches’ on my wordpress dashboard.
Tonight I stepped outside at twilight to shut in the chickens. It was quiet, so quiet I stopped by the side of the house and just stood in the silence for a moment or two. All the day birds had tucked in for the night. We’d had a thunderstorm earlier, and everything smelled crisp and fresh. One of them there moments of clarity ensued.
Coo!
Then the fragments of alternate lyrics to a version of The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, only about a chicken, re-established themselves in my head (“Yeah, let me get some millet, I ain’t too hungry.”) and normal service was resumed. But still, still.
This summer’s pans on the hobs:
- Enthusiastically Shedding Stuff
- Moving house
- Looking at my family in wonderment (simmer forever)
- Putting together a hard copy publication
(Actual physical print product. Comics, music, politics, etc. Would you like to write or draw or something for it? Do please let me know.)

What’s this ‘hard copy publication’ all about then?

Putting together stories, drawing some cartoons (somewhat cack-handedly), one or two interviews. Want to do something you have to buy and own a copy of. Was going to call it Blank Signpost, but there’s another thing called Blank Slate and it looks a bit style bitey (even though Blank Signpost was originally conceived in about 2010). So if you can think of an acer name or just want to make something for it… welcome!
