Aka Friday 20th
March 2020
Had the fourth Long
Walk of the week:
…and when I got home
the postman had deliver ‘House of Sweets:
...a comic (written by Fraser Campbell,
art by Iain Laurie, colour art by David B. Cooper and lettering by Colin Bell),
which is about:
“Hans is a novelist,
struggling to complete his latest work. His sister Retha is looking to reassess
her life after the end of a long term relationship. Seeking space and
perspective, they travel to the forest and the old cabin they used to vacation
in as children. However once there, things quickly take a sinister turn. Hans
finds passages in his book he has no memory of writing while Retha becomes
increasingly drawn to a mysterious presence in the woods. As time passes, their
behaviour becomes erratic as both siblings appear unable to escape their own
stifling obsessions. What is causing these odd transformations? Is it the
isolation? Or has the forest drawn them back for a reason?”
…and I’m looking
forward to reading it…
…I also ate an
entire pack of cherry bakewell flavoured chocolate digestives, it’s an odd
flavour combination, not exactly enjoyable, but one that is very moreish…
…and I did today’s
G2 Crossword:
…which went just as well as yesterday’s crossword, with only
having to cheat on one of the 22 clues. The little grey cells just munched
through the clues, spewing out answers…except for 2 down ‘poet who wrote To His
Coy Mistress’, who was/is ‘Andrew Marvell’, who wiki describes as “an English
metaphysical poet, satirist and politician” and “To His…” as “a Cavalier poem” and “one of Marvell's finest and is possibly the
best recognized carpe diem poem in English”…
