Mr M, Pointy Sticks and the art of remaining still.

It has been a wet cold day and time is all a bit of a blur at present due to visiting Mr M, our old friend. However it is important to visit Mr M as he is sort of on limited time even if he is doing a good job of hanging on in there and sort of poking at the gods with a pointy stick, I suspect that the gods may at some stage when he goes to see them mutter about pointy sticks, and confiscate any he may take with him. I am not good with religion in general but don’t think any of the main stream religions of any country deal with pointy sticks in any great detail, I think at sometime I will need to draw  Pointstickius the Micro God of Pointy Sticks. Anyway we will be off to see Mr M shortly so I am typing super fast to finish my diary entry or at least as much as I can which is why I suspect it may make no sense what so ever.

The Ghost Writer has been rather busy as he had to go to his grey office today and do things although he did say that by hiding in a dark corner and remaining very still he did manage to get through the day without too many problems. He says the art of remaining still in a dark space in the office is a skill most people need to survive work and yet no one ever teaches it at school anymore.  In the old days it was taught subtlety in the playground to children and was called Hide and Seek rather than Work Avoidance Skills or WAS after the standard answer to the question from the boss. . . . . . . Where have you been . . . . .  where we say in a slightly panicky way I was, was, was mmmmmmmmmmm posting an Armadilo to the design department.




OK we have returned from Mr M, he looked a little better than last night which was good but alas it does not mean he is getting better just that he is still comfortable and the old brain cells are still in working order.  As I said yesterday (I think) it is a funny old world and I must say there are times when you feel that if you could poke someone with a pointy stick (obviously not Mr M) it might just help a bit.

    1. I think we have realized you have under a time crunch lately ... as a matter of non- fact this response is being typed by one of the robots of Ernest while he is asleep and I am using a sharp pointy stick on the keyboard of his iPhone so I eXpect it to not last much longer and I also eXpect Master Ernest to wake up then start screaming, "Which one of you destroyed my iPhone in the middle of the night with a sharp pointed device?!?!? That is the fifth one this month!"

    2. I am back on catch up although time may still catch up with me. But right now I have a small window to write and respond to comments. I am glad Mr Ernest has robots I think everyone should have a helpful robot it would be dead cool. Oooo and a pointy stick (an iStick), they are far more versatile than an iPhone.

    1. I am hanging in there Mr H. There is a little tale running behind the scenes which I hope to be able to tell at some point, but we need closure first and I may be vetoed on telling it......

  3. Hi Rob,

    First of all, good friend, never worry about responding to comments. You can only do what you can do.

    Your postings are more fun than you can shake a stick at.

    Aha!

    Stay warm, buddy.

    Gary :)

    1. Thanks Mr G Good Sir. I am glad you said stay warm because it is getting rather chilly now here on the English-Welsh borders. I think it is woolly jumper time again until spring.
