regarding the documentary, I don't think my main focus was on that. It was like watching a sword swallower, how did you do that? Im definately with you on the narrator, quite pompus. Definately could have done without him.

Agnes, I love the snowdrops and the wee shell. Coming back later to catch up on the music.

I think the sweet little oysters snuck away...

I love this narrator.

it is a bit of a gloomy poem, but i just love the fiasco revolving around it involving tweedle dee and tweedle dum and alice wanting to sort things out as best she can

it is such a funny book

and the idea of the tweedles "dressed for battle" etc etc (really it is complicated)

"i'm very brave generally"…"only today i happen to have a headache"

i actually have a copy of the alice in wonderland one (not referring to through the looking glass) given to me got from a used book shop with the inscription (name and address) all the way from liverpool

that wasn't me talking about a headache, that was me quoting tweedledum. you see he and his brother were hell bent on having this very important battle that they also happened to be very ambivalent about.
