Erm

8. June 2009

I can’t write.
Seriously, I think someone squidged my brain out of my ear, rinsed it out, put it through one of those old fashioned clothes wringers and then hung out to drip dry in the cool night air.
If you listen very carefully you might hear it flapping.

She may have a bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk.
