Oh i don't know what to write, see you tomorrow.

so its twenty past nine at night and after some really nice texts i felt really excited about going away tomorrow but now it seems that it has been turned into a competition. why a competition? why can't we allbe supportive and anyway benny is claiming that he is already there having a romantic night with Kate, imagine the conversation, "it's a shame i couldn't get it up." "Don't worry about it," "it would have made the holiday special." "don't worry it could happen to anyone." Oh i don't know what to write, see you tomorrow.

benny needs your help

well nelson mandela said that he's basically an optimist by nature and you have to face towards the sun and walk forward. that sunny demenure rubbed off on benny when he spent that time on roben island for inciting civil disobedience, a stance that everyone who knew him thought was at odds with his tory boy living of old. Well anyway its a good thing that benny spent that time incarcerated because he has had to face more trials recently and is relying on that sunny demenure to keep him going. firstly he couldn't get the big barbeque through the garage meaning that summers may not be as planned. but more pressingly easter plans are not as they were as the wigwam is looking difficult to erect. he's down at the moment. he's gotta ring tomorrow for some advice, something that he's not fond of. two disappointments are enough for any man but michael is strong and with your words of comfort he can continue his walk towards the sun.

schools out

It seems that i am the only person who don't know what is happening and bob has suitably chastised me for not keeping up to speed. for more information check the comments from before but they go along the lines of, everyone knows where we are going except you mr dyke and lucy is no longer a teacher. it means easter can be a time of great celebration. anyway, this blog may appear sporadically from now as i have limited access to teh internet due to the easter holidays. but if you need to contact me or something you could talk to me. bob said that's how they used to deal with the communication problem in medieval times. herbert told him.

oh how nice

well after much debate. it turns out that thursday is the day even if it is midnight. so after those specifics have been ironed out and kate has been saved from a romantic night alone in a tepee with beeny (imagine the conversation...do you like my tepee? yes i do. it's new have you ever slept in a tepee before? no i haven't. do you like caribinas? eta eta) its time to turn our attention to location specifics. where indeed are we going and on what nights? north coast first (oh my spiritual home) and south coast second? what do you think? well let me know as soon as possible but for now i have to go and moderate coursework. goodbye from me.

specific plans

so, i reckon its about a week until we set off. but you see i have to use teh word sabout because i'm not sure of the specifics. i thought that me and kristy were going to be going down early before everyone else on the thursday and it turns out that benny is going down on the thursday with kate and that might be when rut and flare are setting off. this means that i don't really know what everyone is doing and when. what does it matter i hear you ask? you've never really been bothered before i hear you moan. well you see i'm trying to be organised. so let me know. 9i would tell you more but my next apointment for parent's day has arrived and i must go and deal with that.

a little herbert in your pocket

this morning i got a text off herbert because i rang him by mistake and he became a little herbert in my pocket. i was carrying him around with me and he was listening to my lessons. i thought isn't this a nice idea to have a herbert in your pocket. you could have him with you at all the time for company providing a sardonic commentary upon all that you do. it made me think, and now i get round to the real point of this posting, that we should make herbert come away at easter. it is extremely important that he is there and there will me a hole in my soul if he does not make it. the plan is to text him, call him, email him at iamherb@hotmail.com so that he will come away with us and make that transformation from being a little herbert in our pockets to an oddly shaped herbert on our camping expedition. bombard him now! i know that really it is a way to travel but i would like him to be there. wouldn't it be great? whilst your contacting him, ask him if he's found his jumper because i don't want him to accuse me of stealing it in the way that andy stole that basketball hoodie and wouldn't let him know that he had it really. i won't rest until he has it back.

breaking news :-)

right, i think this is breaking news. i'm sitting here at pantsdown penthouse and benny has just told me something. i fear he could be winding me up but i just asked rob and he said that he thinks it may be true. benny has bought a ten foot tall tepee in preparation for easter. it is fourteen foot diameter as well. it is big and it is arriving on monday. bloody hell. i'm not going to write any more until i have digested this news.

so anyway, before that my breaking news was that andy is alive and well and in sweden. bob said he was in switzerland the land of swiss cheese, but that turned out to be bobs brain because as i said he's in sweden admiring their designs. Thank god. i was telling kristy about how i thought he didn't like me and everything and what with easter coming up that would be terribel but it turns out that all is well and beeny has said we can sit in his tepee, so life is good and easter is coming. can't wait.
