When I’m writing, I keep a notebook beside me, and some scraps of paper, and I also make footnotes in the MS to remind me of important plot points and items for my author’s notes. Right now, beside me, I have a scrap of paper that reads, “Razor/end of chapter. Will + Jack tied up. (Facebook reel.)” Any ideas?
Ah well, it’ll come back to me.
Sunday evening – godson’s 21st birthday, lots of hugs, cards, gifts, good food, laughs, and generally had a good time.
Then, we sat outside Rainbow and chatted, aware there was something going on inside, and a lot of people around us cheering for one side or the other. It’s funny because the televisions in Rainbow are somehow a few seconds ahead of the television at Lefteris’, so we get to see things before they do. I succumbed to temptation at one point and gave a roar of ‘Yes!’ just to heighten the tension for those watching next door. Well, it amused me more than 90 minutes of men trying to get something home that they’ve been trying to get home for e-ver, and have only succeeded in making fools of themselves. Seems the only way that country can get that thing home is to let the ladies do it, but when that happened, where was all the macho ‘It’s come home’ crepe? Still, that’ll be the end of football watching for the season, right?
What? I thought it was endless hours of cricket in the summer and football only in the winter? Wrestling was all year round, as was horse racing, and there used to be something about summer sports and winter sports – tennis and Pimms, rugby and hot chocolate… No? Oh well. Have a random photo of the book I’m reading instead.
Oh, it came back to me! If you should ever find yourself tied up in a particular way, you can get yourself out of a seemingly impossible knot. That is, as long as you have read and remembered, ‘Magic: Stage Illusions and Scientific Diversions Including Trick Photography’ published by Samson Low, Marston and Company in 1897. Make a note.
