I was appalled by the thought of it becoming a tip. That’s brilliant news about the battlefield, Cliff. I was appalled by the thought of it becoming a tip.

I'm blogsitting for him this week, as he says: <I>Son is blog-minding for the week, so I will have to drop in the odd expletive and not go on too much about succulent Welsh lamb.</I> He just found out that his book "The French Riviera: A Literary Guide for Travellers" is going to paperback. He's a very talented writer. He rocks, as does my grandfather, whose medals I am sitting under as I write this. Update - The Loos battlefield is NOT going to be a landfill!!!!. This is due to public pressure from public opinion and a charity I belong to called The Western Front Association, whose members all promised to publicise the outrage. I have literally stepped over human bones in that field, which is bad enough, but it's safe from the diggers now. Thanks Justin - he’s all right, my dad.

I especially liked your blog last Wednesday, "Who's The Daddy" and your past blog, "The waste of ghosts" (I felt very sad and very angry at the same time, while reading it). Thanks also for introducing me to your dad's blog with the link under your grandparents' photo. It's a very interesting blog, for a man with a "narrow range of interests and no discernible SOH". :) I enjoyed reading this, Cliff - it’s brilliant.

I am not alone! Also, I worked at McDonald's when I was in high school and really loved the patterns the coffee made at the top of the spout of the coffee jug. They were all lovely and criss-crossed and I made the mistake of pointing them out to someone who did not share my appreciation. Oh they acted all polite and said it was nice, but I could tell they didn't really understand. Come to think of it, I think they may still be working there...
