Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the powerpress domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Can’t trust that day, as the Mamas and Papas nearly sang. It’s a special day today, which makes me wish I’d had more than two and a half hours sleep and didn’t have to fix my freewheel on my bicycle,\u00a0which seems to be all crudded\u00a0up as it’s come out of winter storage. It runs, but if you stop peddling the chain threatens to come off because – oh it doesn’t really matter because. I’m going to have to take the stupid chain tensioner on the derailleur apart, thinking as I do every year that the complete evidence that my life has gone fundamentally totally wrong is that I can’t afford \u00a3900 for a 14-gear Rohloff gear hub<\/a> for my bicycle. Res ipsa\u00a0loquitur, as if I’d said for a living I’d have one by now. It speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Ha ha. And bitter tears.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/a>
If I hadn’t thought about Wendy Sedgewick I’d have one of these by now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oddly, I think of new things when I’m short of sleep. Two new poems, one of which I might try out at the soiree (I know, get me) this afternoon, and remembering I actually have not one but two short stories of a readable length I could do either there or at the pub open mic at The Anchor afterwards.<\/p>\n

First I need to get some sleep and fix my bike, but I could get the train one stop instead and cadge a lift back, I suppose.<\/p>\n

So would you like a story? Would you? Have you been good? Ok, what story would you like, because we only have time for one before bedtime? What’s it going to be? One about a ghost cat? Or about a teenaged Mexican prostitute I met once?<\/p>\n

Sorry? I didn’t say these were children’s stories, did I?<\/p>\n
