There goes my diet..

I’ve just tried a pack of those Limited Edition Fish and Chip flavour crisps. Dear sweet glorious lovely Lord above, I have a new taste for my Gallery Of Gourmet Goodies. My top ten of favourite tastes needs a serious re-write so that this wonderful tongue-teasing torrent of tonsil-tickling teatime treatiness can be included. I have no clue if that last sentence made sense and I don’t care – I’m riding the wave of a rush fuelled by artificial flavours and additives and I hope it never ends.

I called into the library today for the first time since university. For someone who considers himself to be a well-read, appreciative intellectual I seem to have neglected this most wonderful of free services recently, so I’m taking steps to put that right. Younger readers take note – wikipedia is not the ultimate research tool.. you can get infinitely more pleasure, although slightly less rapid results, by plonking your bum down in your local library and looking up the info for yourself.
I borrowed a book by Clive Cussler that I probably won’t read, a biography of the poker legend Johnny Chan, and the DVD boxset of ‘Rome’ which I never got to see when it was on telly. But the real bonus from my little journey within was a lengthy conversation with the beautiful Donna – a tasty little vixen of buxom girth and no-small intellect who I found replacing books that had been returned this morning. She is working at the library part-time while completing her creative writing course at college, and I made her smile twice.
Things are looking up, mes amis
