The culpa morti were killing rabbit's in the garden and exchanging Corsican recipes.

 

They said: liking spiders was alright outside, but  perhaps I should stick to carving wind chimes.

Nobody mentioned the black dog under the table

I'm a mechanism of feathers? made for war
Cortez is a Devil
People are dying in Gaza every day
Imagine a red room, then tell me all about it?
'In every work of genius we recognise our own rejected thoughts: they comeback to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impressions with good–humoured inflexibility most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.'

Your talking to me,,,,, ( I think, no I'm sure ) . Despite being locked in the dark cupboard again last night,  by the men in Pink,  I wrote my name on the palm of my hand with an indelible pencil so I'm pretty sure I'm who I say I am,,, because i can't see any stitch marks toot! suggest this is a new hand.  The shop is set up for a cart, but because I'm dealing at the moment with the variables of original art pieces;  different sizes, weights etc, that cannot be put in a standard box or tube, with established postal rate I ask everybody to contact me if they wish to buy:  signed stitch marks


When I arrived, the Station seemed empty. Wind shepherded the litter towards the ill lit stairs and platform underpass. It was only after the train pulled out and I walked towards the exit, that I noticed the two people sheltering in the doorway,

Beware of : Clones, Facsimilies and rabid dogs

Fumbling for Order.

For Description.

For a sense of Perspective

  22—6—37
    Is that the clue?
     Traffic—Havoc—Bicycle—
        I think I’m close—

MUST TRY HARDER    Must try harder     MUST TRY HARDER 

Bend like the young bamboo, and hope there's enough spring left, for  one more good fart.

Subject: take this seriously
Ian
If you want this to work,you need to take it seriously, ie, semi conductors as a profession wont get you any referrals. You also need to use the site and contact people you know like Barry and Kieth Alcorn otherwise you might as well not bother.
Cheers
Your ever faithful pal

Anybody with an iota of sense,would have dropped the box in the newly dug hole and walk away from it right there and then but good sense had never been one of my strong points and anyway, I had a weird feeling that if I did drop it and run, it would be waiting for me somewhere up ahead. The box and I were going all the way.

 A new type of boat

 It doesn't have a bottom and relies on prayer to keep  it afloat. 
Animistic chants work best. 
The power source is a mix of condensed lament and irish linen.
 Do you think the  world is ready for it?
  Maybe I should make marmalade?

Why was there a line of six pink plastic buckets outside the back door of the Coast Guard Cottage?
They looked brand new.
When I got closer, I could see that each of them was full of coloured water, an outrageous blue, reminiscent of the Eastman colour cheapies played out on Pacific atoll’s
It must be an old Martin’s liquid watercolour.
I looked into each, expecting to see goldfish or some other denizen of the deep, Their was nothing swimming about in any of them, but in the last bucket, I could see a coin lying on the bottom.
Unable to resist, I pulled up my sleeve and reached into the blue water. No sooner had I pulled my arm out, cuff dripping, than I was grabbed from behind and pushed up against the wall of the cottage.
Before I could utter a word, I heard someone close by shout:

“He’s taken the King’s shilling”.

If they had known I was  there, they would make me paint coffin lids and rake the gravel

 

I heard
a mobile phone ringing

Was it Eve calling?

OR !

St Lucia, ringing to warn me about the impending

FLOOD?
