Hello once more, my friends. Well, the packing is getting close to completion, and shortly the computer will follow everything else into the van, which shall then drive to a house where the broadband connection people will not be visiting for another ten days. I shall drop into internet cafes when I can, but in the meantime, there is going to be a bit of a hiatus on this blog.

So, to keep everyone amused in my absence, let's try some more six-word short stories (which we played around with some months ago, for the benefit of any newbies who are wondering at the word 'again'.) The Guardian had some last Saturday - isn't it nice to be in the vanguard and beat a national newspaper to the meme? - to which you can link. Here are some more of mine to get it started:

Hey boss, this one's still alive.

Waiter, what does 'long pig' mean?

Let go, I told them nothing.

I'll sign, just don't hurt them.

It's our little secret, sweetheart, right?

I am too a fucking lady.
