I got a epherlump for Easter, a tiny one from Wilkinsons Teas with ginger flavoured tea bags in it, only 5 of them 'cos he's a very tiny epherlump.....Happy Epherlumps Day!!!

Now come on Lyn. A tiny epherlump is no good. We need our thumping great enormous epherlump to put the fear of wotsit into whoever needs the fear of wotsit putting into them.
Either that or the inflatable epherlump that we can float up to Mar, though I have quite forgotten why she needs an inflatable epherlump.

In the meantime whoever has Nelly tucked into their garage had better pack her trunk and trundle her back to the circus with a trumpety trump, trump, trump, trump, before we all go completely doolally.

Though I fear that it is already too late.

When you were all talking about Terry, I thought at first you meant Wogan.........

I don't want the epherlump. I've gone quite off it. I wouldn't mind an epherlump-sized crate of Blackpool rock though..
or Southhampton rock or Isle of Wight rock or Hester Canal rock
I like rock
Usual start to spring up here - 3 lovely days, getting all our hopes up and then cold grim dull week after it and no sign of anything above 7-9C in the near future. My daffs just came out and have now stopped dead and are regretting it.

<pours oil on potentially troubled waters> Well, I think both Sir Terrys were great and both are much-missed, even though Terry W didn't write a wonderful load of books and leave us feeling sad he won't be writing any more

No builders across the road this morning! it's so quiet our there that I didn't wake up until 9.50!

Actually.... Tel did write some wonderful books, not as many as STP, and most of them are collections of articles, but still, he was a good writer. Very good. Decidedly Flann O'Brien.
A Slip of the Keyboard is STP's collection and very good it is too.
I loved Tel's TV series with the lovely London cabbie, Mason McQueen, I recorded the whole lot the last time they were on.

It's raining and ffffffreezing here but I'm warm in front of the stove, we've been to Tesco and stocked up on milk bread and other essentials.
Talking of TP, he wrote about dwarf bread, something along the lines of 'you'll never starve if you have dwarf bread, because you think you are hungry but when you look at dwarf bread you decide you aren't really hungry'.
Well today I suggested getting a few extra tins of food from Tesco to restock my Armageddon cupboard. Captain Hot Stuff said we didn't need any more tins cos we have part baked baguettes and tinned soup so we won't starve. But actually every t time I suggest soup and baguette for lunch he decides he isn't hungry after all.
