Magnus here chums...how's it going out there?
Busy sleeping anywhere plumptious by day and sleeping in the woodshed hunting by night here, and can I just ask... do you think I should be worried about a book called Cat Sense - The Feline Enigma Revealed which is sitting on the kitchen table??
'You will never look at your cat in the same way again,' it says. I'm hoping it doesn't give away too many of my secrets but there has been an awful lot...and I mean a boring amount of 'Did you know...' going on, and I just shake my head (inside as in invisibly, because did you know cats don't do that) whilst thinking to myself ' Saints preserve us...surely you had noticed that about me...'
They've already twigged that colourwise I can only see blue and yellow, which has completely blown my cover on stalking the bluetits and led to a stupid amount of 'tests' with coloured objects waved in front of my face and being asked which one I like best. I am trying to rise above it all but will report back.
Anyway on to the business of the day.
If you have just read what has gone before, you might remember mention of spotting umpteen copies of The Dean's Watch where previously there seemed to have been none. Well, one beautiful, nay pristine, first edition with an immaculate dust jacket and the beautifully atmospheric artwork by A.R.Whitear, appeared in the second-hand bookshop at Topsham last week, and for a snip at £3 it proved irresistible as a gift to one of you.
So is there anyone out there whose need for a comfort-hot-water-bottle read is great...
Anyone who can cope with the odd bit of melodrama and smidge of Christian proselytizing (I wish they'd speak English) and a bit of 1870's tweeness...
Perhaps anyone who is fed up with January and would like to escape into the pages of a good book...
If so names in comments before the end of the day when I will make my choice before I start my night of sleeping in the woodshed hunting, and this lovely copy will wing its way to the lucky winner, though if you are abroad the book may have to float across in a more leisurely fashion, but will get there dreckly.
