Sad toys

The final straw?

Just as Mrs Fool and I were starting to come to terms with the natural disasters here and in Mrs Fool's homeland of Japan, another shock. Last night I went down to buy some fish and chips, only to discover that our local shop had put up its prices! No warning at all. Where is "moon man" Ken Ring when you need him?

The novel

As those of you who frequent my brother's blog may have read, I'm writing my first novel. When I mention this to people, they're usually very interested at first and ask what it's about, but when I tell them their eyes glaze over and the conversation quickly moves on to other topics. So instead of giving you a synopsis I've decided to take a leaf out of Hari Kunzru's book and post a few photos.
