I’m doing a workshop at FCBG conference on Saturday. This year it’s just behind my house hurrah! I can walk there! My hair is ready, just need the rest of me to get ready now too!

What a way to sell your book! I've read a couple of John's books. The Coincidence Engine & The Notable Brain of Maximilian Ponder, and I loved them both. It looks like i've found a new book to add to my reading pile.

& you watch the sun go, & in the gloam a fresh casualty you move to the verge - badger's strong digger's paws stilled, path to the ridge close & empty, crossed by a dairy herd black on dove grey - meadow pipits overhead & a blackbird winterdinking, nothing to be done but go on

This is in the foyer at work. I have no idea what it means. It's probably not as fun as it sounds.
