Dangerous Places

When Sarah Milligan told a joke in Canada containing a killer whale she was corrected by an audience member

β€œOrca”

In another program on the telly, in which public personalities are given resources to explore their lineage, she learned of a great grand father who worked in Canada for the Hudson Bay Company. He got lost in the tundra and his feet fell off, he returned to Britain after being saved by a wandering Inuit.

Dot Polly Bubble Grid Notebooks

Are you finished with lines? Hemming you in, creating the expectation of literature and expository voluminously? Tired of grids and dots, giving too much and not enough. Well it is time for change. Try bubbles, in a grid. Offered in high and low frequencies, and with a handy national map in the centre. Great for lists, notes, solving murders, tracking fugitives and of course, aliens. Found where all of the things are sold, in paperback and hardcover!

You probably need two!

I πŸ–€ Stationery

As I considered my stack of fresh, unspoilt notebooks, there was a blemish that required redress. While I had blank, lined, squared and dotted notebooks, I did not have nor could locate a be-dotted book. My life unfolds in effervescent episodes rather than the stripes of narrative. It took a very light search before I located Amazon KDP and a new project to pursue. This year I had hoped to focus on a web project that has been on a backburner for ages now. Circumstances have conspired to keep that backburner occupied and hopefully a modicum of success in this venture will bring forward a pot or two from metaphorical burners on a imaginary hob.
