Every time I stop at Elsenham, I think perhaps I've accidentally slipped onto the train line of fictional places.
I want to do a complete journey of that branch one day.

Some good friends gave me a talking to about not "putting myself out there". That's a 2026 resolution. They are right.

Classic problem resolution.
Stumped on a calculation. Rattle brains for an hour looking at it.

Be honest with me. If I put an unmarked pot of soy sauce next to an unmarked pot of Balsamic vinegar... Would you know the difference?

From the wash the laundress sends
My collars home with ravelled ends;
I must fit, now these are frayed,
My neck with new ones London-made.
Homespun collars, homespun hearts,
Wear to rags in foreign parts.
Mine's at least as good as done,
And I must get a Ruskin one.

I've just discovered that Amarreti biscuits can be made from apricot kernels. Then looked up some of the worrying cyanide-creating properties of apricot kernels.

Erg. Now I'm supposed to dress respectably for this gallery view. What about behind-the-scenes help makes you think I'd be good at this?

In the first ten pages, I thought this was going to be a lost cause. It is real pulp. However, somewhere my brain switched off and I just enjoyed the ride. Difficult to recommend, but short and entertaining in an out-of-date way. #trojan #paperback #sf 🚀👩🏼🚀

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Autumn stubble on fire off the shoulder of Fulbourn. I watched C-buses glitter in the dark near the Tesco Superstore. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
