Tangents and treats

On something of a writing tangent today; a story involving steel pans and smushed trains. But on the lighter side, I tripped over a brilliant scene from A Day at the Races, laugh-out-loud funny, with Harpo trying to get the key plot message across to Chico (you can see it here, but unfortunately Harpo has already launched a frenzied attack on the shrubbery to convey 'Hackenbush'): "Dr Hackenbush... There's a woman... She got a wooden leg? She got a woodpecker? She got a headache??" Too funny...

And here's a treat from Neil Gaiman, The Day the Saucers Came, illustrated by Jouni Koponen, and brought to e-life by the infinite canvas lab.


I went out for a walk as dusk was settling; wandered along the shore, watching oystercatchers picking through the shale for treaty things. Very purdy.

Have a great weekend folks.
