I haven't been updating as Ed's here and I haven't had much free time in which to blog. We've been getting in plenty of hugs and also played scrabble (as there's little else to do here), helped make willow fish at the youth club, spent an evening at the pub quiz with Phil and Tom, went round the art college end of year exhibitions which were mostly wonderful, went shopping in Bradford,
gave Ed two henna tattoos on his back, went to see
Mango Kiss which was quite good but also corny, cliched and a propaganda piece promoting monogamy, talked lots, saw a
photography exhibition about gardens which was excellent in some places but dull on the whole, and went to the pub with Tamsin for a gossip and catch-up. Later today we're off to the Doodle Day organised by
Oblong then Simon's coming round. Tomorrow we're meant to be going to the Bradford Mela with Tamsin then maybe seeing
Robin's Hood. It's a busy time.
Elsewhere on the internet,
Green Fairy has been composing poems on modern day issues. First she told us about her shopping trip on Oxford Street through the medium of haiku. This was followed by a villanelle on dusting bookshelves. Next we were treated to "A Triolet Concerning Scented Sanitary Products". Her latest offering is "cinquains on vibrators, casseroles and my toilet". However she's promised us "An Ode To Liquid Latex", which I expect will be the best of them all.
