all nonsense and magic

I'm more excited than an excitable sparrow, frisking its little wings in a bird bath on a hot day. And so I just have to blog.

Sure, I've been loving other people's blogs of late. Angela's silence between the notes; Anna's coal tits (let the reader understand); Russell's searingly honest search for identity; and Martha's tarts past their prime. I've met a few of those.

But today it's me, because I just have to tell you that this morning, i started writing my new book. I'm an hour into it. It's about supermarkets - all the usual nonsense and magic. I may only have written two paragraphs, but you know what they say - the journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step. Or is it the single step which begins with a journey of a thousand miles? That sounds nearer the truth.

Whichever, you read it here first - the blog, not the book. The book you will have to pay for, or I'll starve. So excuse me while I go away and add a little to the word count. And frisk some more in the bath. Perhaps if I wait long enough, a coal tit will turn up...

Hi Simon - found your blog through Jenny, who I think you met last week! Have enjoyed catching up and looking forward to reading your book. Congrats on the new babybook...
