Almost time...


Part of the nearby, world famous Pulteney Bridge caught fire a day or so ago, and has blackened holes where the small upstairs windows used to be. I don't know when it happened, so I was either out or asleep. Luckily there is only internal damage. I thought you ought to know.

I have almost finished the preparatory work for the video - I thought you ought to know that too. This is my latest poster for it, made because the geezer who calls himself a graphic artist around here took the last one down and replaced it with something even more boring. I've told him I will do something unspeakable to his private parts if he removes this one.

It's my birthday today - I thought you ought to know that too (somehow, Rachel already does). I used to keep quiet about my birthdays, but I realised that if you go round telling everyone, you get free drinks at the pub, and people put off being horrid to you until the day after. How childish of me, at my age.

  3. You are too young to be entering your second childhood.
    Happy Birthday to you. And as to Rachel knowing about it - she has the knack of being all seeing and all knowing.
    A valuable asset.

  8. Rock breaks scissors
    Scissors cut paper
    Paper covers rock
    Card covers birthday

    Or something like that. Happy birthday, Tom

    1. You don't normally have early nights. You must be getting old.

  10. Happy Birthday Tom! And as for the poster announcing the big event - I love everything about it! I love the color, I love "... unbroken years of history ...", love all of it.

  11. You're safe - it's when you tell everyone and you DON'T get freebies that you start to worry.
    Happy Birthday!
    Fantastic poster. Three hundred years of unbroken history, that is indeed high drama.

  12. I can't buy you a drink, but I can wish you a very Happy Birthday! I didn't know that what you are doing on the pub was called "video mapping" until you started writing about it !! (I think the first one I saw was on Buckingham Palace some years ago)

  13. I like "there is to be" in the poster and like Mise said "or just after". It sounds like 300 years has not gone by.
