Wet night in Soho last night reminded me of the line 'The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the street' from Time by Tom Waits (very little relevance apart from that but it's always good to have context)

Reward - a diamond dog
I always like to promise a nice reward to anyone who returns a lost sketchbook*
* the 'gold helicopter' I promised in another book hasn't tempted anyone to return my lost sketchbook from the summer last year : (

Pensive monkey
I dreamed about lots of brilliant monkeys last night but was too slow to photograph them in the dream. I feel a bit sad about this today

Dogs & demons
More over Christmas sketchbooks, I bought a new fountain pen after forgetting my usual one, it's made me go all cross-hatch-y!

'deceived by his monkeys'
I was rather entranced by a quote on Radio 4's In Our Time this morning (or, 'The-Melvyn-Bragg-Clever-Programme' as I like to refer to it, because it always makes me feel at least 33% cleverer by proxy after listening!) referring to Galen*, the Roman physician and medical theorist as being 'deceived by his monkeys'
*nope, no Roddy McDowell references you ignoramus!

Beware giant hogweed!
Walking by the River Tees in Yarm (which is a wonderful name for a town!) I saw a sign warning about the dangers of giant hogweed.
Apparently the reality is slightly less 'hoggy'

Don't try this at home kids...
It has been scientifically proven* that Y-fronts are the undergarments of greatest comedy value. Q.E.D.
