Personal update

Since the end of last year I've been taking Poor Mad Felix to lunch on Wednesdays rather than Thursdays, as he gets his injection and other medication on Thursdays. As usual, we travelled (meaning I drove) to Botley Hill Farmhouse where the staff are helpful, understanding, and sympathetic.

He's not really on planet any more, poor love, but it's always good to see him enjoy himself, even if a small but obvious percentage of food ends up on his clothing.

Felix has decided that doctors are the cause of illness, smoking is good for you, all immigrants should be sent back to where they came from, and all lawbreakers should be executed, no matter the gravity of the crime.

I realise that whatever Felix believes is liable to be the opposite of what sane people would regard as the case, but I've rarely had such striking confirmation of the fact.

I did mention that way back when, in the Catholic school we attended, there were significant numbers of immigrants from (or residents of) Spain, France, Italy, Poland, and Ireland, and some of those folk were amongst our best friends: which gave him pause. Then I listed the nationalities of the Monarchs of England since the conquest.

Alas, he trumped me by declaring himself King of England since his birth, and the members of the house of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha mere usurpers.

There are some folk you just can't argue with: so I smiled and ate my lunch.

Well, you would, wouldn't you?

Well, I've known him since I was ten or eleven or so. I'm not going to ignore or drop him because of strangeness: though I often prefer my surrealism to be slightly more um placid...or less...um...emotionally battering.

You know I never go on facebook, so what's the story there then?

I'm currently having big giggles on FB. Ive found an old chum from the record co days in London in the 80s, and we do a lot of very funny banter. We should be starting a new label if all goes well. How's your musical life ? Does married bliss leave room for it ?
