"Autumnal - nothing to do with leaves. It is to do with a certain brownness at the edges
of the day...
Brown is creeping up on us, take my word for it... Russets and tangerine shades of old gold flushing the very outside
edge of the
senses... deep shining ochres, burnt umber and parchments of baked earth - reflecting on itself and through itself,
filtering the light. At
such times, perhaps, coincidentally, the leaves might fall, somewhere..."
(Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
are Dead Act
2: Tom Stoppard)
Autumn...
I love this time of year. I love the colours, the sharp slant of sunlight on the trees, mosaics of acid-yellow and harts-
blood, velvet and
darkness and a haze of mist-grey over the hills. I love its immanence, its mellowness, the tang of frost just around the
corner of the
year...
Watching the little birds in the goat-willow in my garden, I realised something more.
I love this land with a fierce, possessive love, deep-rooted in two thousand years of history. From the frosted beaches
and cloud-brushing peaks of the north to the wind-haunted meanderings of the rivers of the east, from the sensuous
rolling patchworked hills of
the south to the demanding dark moors of the west, this land seeps into bone and blood and synapse, mother of
motley nobility,
culture, individual freedoms. It can be known. It can be understood. It can be felt deep inside.
I love its effortless eccentricities, its vigour and vibrancy, its flawed perfections, its silent strength and tenacious
resilience, its hard-won tolerances and intense and variable beauty, the profound energy in its sacred mythical
landscape.
Home and more-than-home, the forces that shape and protect and bind, in me, as I am in the land. Love returning love
in the stillness
for those who'll only take the time to listen...

Evil Squid
A Little Glossary of Taylorspeke
(in no particular order)
plit popints - n. Typo for 'plot points' typed on a keyboard with more than half the characters worn off...
[PING] (alt [ping]) - n. A brainwave. The text equivalent of a lightbulb going on blindingly over someone's head. Usually mine. And usually at the most inconvenient of times. [sigh]
TPTB - The Powers That Be.
wulmet - n. A person of little or no talent who somehow inveigles himself into a position where he is in power over other, far more talented people and uses his position to downplay them in order to try to make himself feel superior.
biteable - referring to an anatomical part vb, tasty.
Flatterfed - vb. 27.02.08: my typo for flattered, but since it's so cutely apt I thought it would fit nicely
here. Lutra defined it as "the lovely warm feeling of satisfaction resulting from enthusiastic reviews..." (which I've been
getting for my MB fics).
Composted - vb, 'compos mentis', mentally capable of working. Contrast with
uncomposted or non-
composted, not 'compos mentis', not capable of working, hungover...
Cumbles - n, cucumbers.
Kewp - how Ken says 'thank you'. We rather like Lutra's 'nanx', too...
Musekick - noun, music, without which I cannot work.
'feinne - noun, caffeine, essential for correct mental functioning, especially first thing in the morning. I
prefer mine in the
form of SodaStream Diet Coke. And on that subject...
Skoosh - verb, noun. To skoosh - to add CO2 to a sodastream bottle filled with water to make it
fizzy, prior to adding
Diet Coke syrup (or just drinking as sparkling water). A skoosh - a bottle of water that has been skooshed. Skooshy
- something that
has been skooshed, water, or that whipped cream that comes in tins you have to shake then upend and press the
nozzle...
Shoogle - verb. To shake gently, for example, of roast potatoes in a roasting tin to ensure they're
covered with oil. I
have vague memories of this being a real Scottish colloquialism...
Stegasaurus - n, spider of the genus tegenaria. Why? No idea. I just find it easier, that's
all...
Edit 08.09.07: Lutra thinks that Brian is a good name for a mini-stegasaurus. From now on, any 'Brian's in the posts
may be assumed to be a tegenaria. Except where otherwise specified.
Viterals - noun, vitamins + minerals. Also a pun on victuals.
Splish - verb. A combination of slosh and splash.
Parrots - noun, paracetemol (from the old joke "Why are there no aspirin tablets in the jungle?
Because the parrots eat
'em all...")
Maggles - noun, magpies. As opposed to non-magical people.
Flamewings - noun. Swifts. So called because the first time we became aware of them was an early
summer evening
when they were flying high, the light from the setting sun seemingly turning their wings to flames. Lovely little birds. We
always know
summer's arrived when we hear their high-pitched squeeing.
Murfs - noun, moths.
Peasant cut - noun, roughly cut up into big chunks, e.g. vegetables chopped in a hurry for a
hearty stew or
soup. By extension, anything prepared in a hurry - haircut, material, even a first draft of a story...
Giraffe - noun, a carafe (of wine, coffee or water, for example).
Shrumps - noun, mushrooms.
Splings - noun, Kai's spelling homework: by extension, any spelling.
Tyops - noun, typos. var toyps, typso, psyto, psoyt, etc. Usual result of a dose of the
fingerials (see next
entry).
Fingerials - (pr. fin GEEE ree yalls) noun, fingers that will not type what you want
them to.
Haddock - noun, time, of which I never have enough. (Origin of this term here.)
Sleep - noun? vb? a.k.a. sheeeeeeeeep.... I used to know what this word
meant...

So what is it with the
haddock? Am I some kind of fish freak?
I'll leave that to
others to decide.
The tale (or tail if you prefer) harks back
to October 2000, when my GoodTwin and I, ably assisted by Sue,
ran the first UK Professionals convention... It's common
knowledge that I never have enough time, and I was determined
not to bewail the fact that weekend: hence I promised not to use the
'T' word... Of course, that didn't really work (if nothing else I
had to let the trainees know what times things were supposed to be
happening!) so we decided a substitute word would be employed
instead. There were several suggestions. Banana came very close to
being chosen. However, I eventually decided that 'haddock' fitted
the bill nicely. Ever since, haddock=time. Hence the title of my forthcoming
autobiography, My Half-Life in the Haddock
Space Continuum....
Normally I wouldn't, but these
were just irresistible...
These
Too-Kawaii Kitties were adopted from Ghost's Anime

Thursday, April 28, 2005
OK, today, let's see...
Quyn is fine (little perisher snuck up the stairs to sleep beside our bed last night - first time he's been able to manage the steps since last week, so I wasn't about to complain, even if I did nearly trip over him...) The vet is pretty sure he does have arthritis in his hips and knees, so has given me two week's-worth of Rimadyl (anti-inflammatory pills) to see how he gets on, then I have another appointment for him. I don't like the thought of him being on medication for the rest of his life, but if it makes him more comfortable...
Ken's been over providing moral support for the 'haunted' family - behind the cameras, he confirmed - since about 6pm. We'll have to find out when/if it's shown and record it!
Time for a whinge...
Seven Things that Get Right Up My Nose!
(in no particular order...)1. Other people's smoke.
I'm an ex-smoker - Ken and I gave up together April 1st 1991 - and as you probably know, ex-smokers are the most vociferous when it comes to protesting about other people's smoke!
2. Rover Drivers.
Rover cars are fine. The people who drive them are also probably fine, as individuals. Put them together and in my fairly broad experience they're the pits, arrogant, irresponsible and they seem to think the rules don't apply to them. Every single time someone cut me up when I was driving it was a Rover. The moron who thought the small one way section (that the residents campaigned long and hard for, changing our road from a dangerous rat-run to a blissfully quiet suburban street) down at the park was nothing to do with him - he was driving a Rover. When I saw him he was in a neck brace being interviewed by the police, with his pretty car splattered over the Bath Rd: as he'd illegally turned out of our road a lorry had smashed into the side of him. It was just before Yule. I had no sympathy.
But the worst was when Kai was under a year old and in his buggy, and I'd stepped out onto the pelican crossing - on the green man - when a red Rover, driven by a woman talking on a mobile phone, speeded straight through the red light, narrowly missing us. The cow didn't even slow down, and I was too shaken to get her number.
I loathe Rover drivers. Present company excepted, of course - I'm sure you're a good Rover driver [hard stare]...
Probably just as well I won't have to worry about them for too much longer.
3. Spammers.
I'm sure I don't need to elaborate... Not that things like this help - "Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo all opposed provisions in Federal law that would make spamming illegal, and removed the right of individuals to sue spammers. They gave us the current bad Federal law that permits spamming and protects big email marketers." (from the news page at Junkbusters site.)
4. Little Britain.
Just exactly what is funny about Little Britain? It's gross, tasteless and embarrassingly nasty. How can the writing team who produced The League of Gentlemen have come up with something this dreadful? More to the point, why do so many people like it...?
5. Whingers.
Yes, I know that's a bit of a broad category, but ye gods doesn't it grate!? Yes, we all have problems, spells of ill-health, personal crises, they go with being alive. Most of us will have a quick moan then just get on with it; the others... Why do they do it? Are they that desperate for attention? Do they have nothing interesting in their lives? I know I should be sympathetic, but usually such people won't do anything to improve matters, and I lose patience. (Not that I have much to start with...)
6. Bush and Blair.
'Nuff said.
7. Bigots.
Of all shapes, colours and creeds. Irrational, self-deluded blinkered idiots. Can't stand 'em. Right, that's quite enough whinging for one week! In other news...
The R.G. Veda manga is great, much more comprehensible than the anime, which only deals with the middle part of the story if I've understood Helen McCarthy rightly. The artwork is very pretty. This ->
is Bishamonten, god of war, warriors and the North, and a real bishie. I have this urge to pair him with the main baddie, Taishakuten...
Definitely going on my 'to collect' list!
St George Community Centre site is now up: there'll be more there later, I've just been sent some info.
And I keep forgetting to say - we all watched the first few eps of Red Dwarf and Kai loves it - particularly the Cat.
Kai found a working grandfather clock jigsaw in the cat's charity shop, on the walk home from school yesterday. It's about half as tall as he is and 777 pieces: he's spent three hours on it so far and it's coming along well, although we can't see much of his bedroom floor right now. I just hope there aren't any pieces missing!
The copy of this year's Writer's Handbook that I ordered from Amazon.co.uk the day before yesterday arrived this afternoon. Now I've no excuse not to send FirstLight off as soon as I've finished proof-reading it...
Does anyone else think that those little 'hair monsters' in the Sunsilk ads are just too cute for words? Why would anyone want to wash them down the drain...?
