As I'm waiting for files to transfer onto the iPod I might as well do a post.

It's been a day spent writing & reading - Shakespeare & Berrigan Sonnets, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Leslie Scalapino texts in pdf. Already my mind is turning to what I might teach & how to go about it. It's like a virus.

"It's always the ones you'd gladly hear more of who know the value of doing less" (written about Robert Wyatt in a back issue of The Wire)

A statement to bear in mind in this - the one thousandth - post on the Blog. (Although I'm probably flattering myself to think there's many out there that'd care one way or the other.)

Perhaps it's the time to say thanks to anyone who has been reading & particularly those who've posted Comments, given encouragement & generally kept the thing afloat. I'd no idea which direction I was going in when I began and not much more of an idea now (perhaps not a bad thing). However one thing has led to another & I've met some interesting people along the way & re-encountered a Walrus. & maybe there are some shy people out there who drop by & I never know.

I'm still in two (at least) minds about Blogging but it seems to serve a purpose for the time being - if only as a hub for the book-making & other stuff. (:nfold:ngs went out yesterday, by the way).

As the late, great John Ebdon used to sign off on the radio:

if you have been - thanks for listening ...
