This day...

Banksy
... has seen me sipping strong coffee in Pret a Manger (Pret a minger more like, I found a hair in my muffin).

... has found me meandering around a small but perfectly formed Banksy exhibition, inhaling the fresh fumes of clean, white paint and basking in soft spotlights.

... has forced me to make a thousand calls to one large company chasing many people for comments, quotations, contact details and information. Most of which I still have not received, or which, having received it, I have not had time to act upon.

... has caused me to end the previous sentence with a preposition.

... has presented me with a new challenge of yet another magazine, two new articles and the opportunity to interview the beautiful Ben Ainslie - a national treasure. I shall see the Olympian deity tomorrow, face to face.

... has therefore also reminded me to get an early night so that I am more than, ahem, presentable. Just in case.

OOOOO spicey sausage stew ?
Well I make a good one, although avoid salami and chorizo since my mother reminded me that they contain donkey.
I go with Polish kabanos sausages theses days , fried with garlic and chillies, add canned butter beans or brown lentils and simmer in chicken stock (Bovril works with the lentils), serve with french bread and butter.
*waits for mermaid to tell me the Poles like nothing more than a donkey*

Perhaps if you left a message with your elusive contacts suggesting you were from the National Lottery the response rate might improve.

Note to Hitch: is it prudent to recommend to our host a dish containing the rather gaseous ingredients of lentils, butter beans and chorizo? Rather smacks of suggesting a comfort snack of crystal meth to Amy W.

Tuscan! Wot you suggesting about my bowel functions? Anyone would think I have a fixation with farting!

Tuscan Tony said...

Merms, oddly enough it is your own myriad tales of flatus and guano which have left this slight impression with me.
