Another very late post! This is for a review of one of the best books I’ve read and certainly the best I read last year. (hence the “late”…)
Neverwhere is a story and it’s properly told. It made me feel like a boy on an adventure, my favourite state of being.
So my friend Muddy shared this with me over lunch today. I had a good chuckle and had to share! A women was looking for a new parrot. She walks into the parrot shop (as you do) and started browsing what was on offer. She comes across a stunning bird for a ridiculously low price. She enquires from the shop keeper why this was? He says that the bird had a “history”, that it had previously lived in a brothel! The women had no scruples with this so decided to…
The news is full today about the Brisbane flood. 15 dead so far and many many missing. In Brazil “100s” dead in floods and in Sri Lanka “100000’s displaced” nobody know how many dead… I used to live less than hour away from where this happening right now in Queensland and trust that old friends whom I’ve not spoken to for a very long time are all safe and well.

Woke up this morning to about 2-4 inches of snow! So unexpected which made it an even better surprise. I know it’s a bugger for those that have to try get to work, but enjoy it!
