    Morning denizens

    I was awoken by the doorbell. Thinking it might be the post with Barney Farmer's just-published Drunken Baker, I threw some clothes on and rushed down to the front door.

    The post had already arrived, and I opened up to a Jehovah's Witness

    Still, the book was there in the mail once I'd finally got rid of him

    Grey start, but it's not actually raining, or not yet

      You should have told them you are off to give blood!
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        I got the impression he was planning to try the bells of the other flats after I'd managed to close the door on him and collect my post. If so, I hope he got a suitable greeting from the Turkish Muslim guy upstairs who's working night shifts at the moment

            Which is excellent; it's a novel, not a comic book, in the form of the internal monologue of one of the bakers from the Viz strip. I thought I'd have a glance at the first page, just to get the flavour of the prose. Thirty-five pages later, I had to force myself to put it down as I had other stuff I needed to be doing

              Wanted to peg the sheets out on the line.

              Problem: can't find the bag of pegs in all this chaos.

              So I'm complaining about it here instead.

              You know it makes sense.

                Make sure you look in the last place you had them last, as that's where they'll be

                  They'll be in the last place you look. Just figure out where that is and you're sorted
