Kimono dragon!
A friend of mine said that his son & him had been discussing the existence of the Kimono dragon & wondered if I knew anything about it.
I did.
Of COURSE they exist!

Behold, the donut truck!
I was heartened to see a group of NYC cops all eating donuts on my first & only visit to Staten Island many years ago thus fulfilling a cliché for me. The truck was not being driven by a cat much to my consternation - this is called artistic licence*

Dinosaur hiding in ice cream van.
This is what we all called a Brontosaurus when I was a dinosaur obsessed child but is apparently really an Apatosaurus due to various paleontological cock ups.
(I still prefer Brontosaurus shhhh!)

Scooby Snacks
Last night I dreamed about attempting to see how deep a sandwich I could fit into my mouth in one bite. It wasn't fun & was a fairly nasty sandwich, paté in white sliced, (but the kind of paté that everyone called 'liver sausage' in the '70s)
I have no idea what this says about me - answers on a postcard...

Singing your heart out!
Wonderful to hear an old lady on the Victoria line this morning sporting HUGE headphones & singing her heart extremely LOUDLY out completely oblivious to all the other passengers - cue outbreak of smiles amidst the usual 'tube embarassment' - priceless!

Monster Facts #10
Monster Fact : Monsters do not receive mandatory holiday pay & rarely take time off - it is considered wise not to disturb them when they do*
*This also applies to freelance illustrators, crocodiles et al. Dogs, as EVERYBODY knows have Wednesday afternoons off.
