Last night, I was cooking dinner.
I took a large celeriac in a plastic bag out of the fridge and asked my wife whether she wanted it with our meal. With a look of surprise on her face, she said “What’s that, a human head?”.
As if I normally keep my severed heads in plastic bags in the fridge!
Normality in the Rosam household.
Looking at one or two of my recent posts, I think I’m sounding like a candidate for that TV programme, Grumpy Old Men.
Is it desirable to rant publicly, I wonder?
I hate the Royal Mail and just about everything to do with it.
It’s unreliable and slow – and hence expensive. And today they won’t answer the bloody phone. What’s more, the system just cuts off after what feels like hours – and, of course, I’m paying for the call because the Royal Mail ‘press 5 to blow up the whole edifice’ system has answered the call. I guess they’re making a cut from the 0845 number I called.
Now I have to schlep right over to the sorting office to retrieve a Special Delivery item someone sent while I was in Cornwall. If I could get through, then I could arrange for them to deliver it to me.
What a complete waste of time!
I particularly hate the Royal Mail because it’s a service that worked better – faster and with more frequent deliveries – years ago than it does now.
That has to be wrong, doesn’t it?
I’ve promised to spread the word:
[we'd] like to raise the profile of Book Crossing by inviting as many people as possible to swap books at Caffe Nero, South Street, Worthing on Saturday 5th November. This event (part Book Crossing, part Flash Mobbing) will be a great chance to pick up some new books. bring some fun to Worthing. and meet fellow Book Crossers.
Please spread the word and invite friends, family and colleagues along too. Let’s make this a family-friendly event, by bringing along some great children’s books too.
So. Saturday 5th November, 11am, Caffe Nero. don’t forget to bring a book or two.
I’m going to be there. I hope you will be there, too.
If you want any further info, I’d be glad to pass your questions on to the organisers.
I’ve decided to move my photography from Dangerous Thinking. I want to post a fair volume of work and it just doesn’t sit happily here, I feel.
So – probably in just a short-term solution – you can see my photography at Pix by David Rosam.
