A repeat of the post from 14th Oct 2012 (Yes OK its lazy I know . . . BUT).

I have been very busy yet again today although strangely it allowed me to draw a cat and a Zombie so I have two pictures in reserve WELL COOL. But because of this busyness I have decided to repeat the post of exactly two years ago on the 14th Oct 2012 just so folk can get a feel of how the old blog has changed with the passing of time.


A repeat of 14th October 2012


Today has been as much about catching up as actually getting anything done so for example I am still writing up my adventures in the underworld; OK not really so much the underworld as the world underground, as they are not entirely the same thing, as my very good friend Napoleon Beelzebub has pointed out. Although they are both in the same direction, it is more the fact they are not in the same dimension, much like myself and the Ghost Writer. In fact while on the subject of different dimensions I discovered that the old medieval castle that we stayed near which I will mention when I finally get things all written up (you lot are just going to have to wait until I am organized a bit . . . . . . . . . AH); OK yes this castle exists in several dimensions also. It has a real existence so exists in the world of the Ghost Writer; it has an existence in the real world of Rob Z Tobor (me) because as far as I'm concerned I'm real. And then I discovered it has an alternative existence as a French castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  So I have now discovered that not only did we miss a chance to get all the gold from the centre of the Earth we have also missed an opportunity to find the Holy Grail and possibly the odd autograph……



Anyway the farmer has now filled the tunnels created by the cows, so they are a bit dispirited and are chewing grass in despair, roaming about in the fields in a sort of random fashion as if their goal in life has been taken away from them. However the sting in the tail for us was that one of their tunnels has resulted in the main road being closed and we were forced to undertake a huge detour in order to get to the birthday party of Miss Elle tonight who was seventeen while we were away in the depths of the subterranean caverns. It appears the road will now be closed for at least three weeks because cows make large tunnels but are not good at engineering the supports . . . . . . . 



It was a bit of a shock all that frost and sunlight this morning I had to wear sunglasses at breakfast and a woolly hat although it did turn into a really lovely day. OK I better go it is getting on as I have been at a birthday party and had to go and return the long way. . . .



Oooo I saw two of those powered parachute things going over the house today and an Austin Maxi. I thought all Austin Maxi’s were well dead, ironically on the way to the birthday party we did pass the Austin Maxi again and it appeared to be dead with people peering into the engine. Such is life.

  1. Ha! You've actually become MORE coherent with the passing of time Mr Z.

    1. Although I have now drifted away from reality a bit more. Back then everything actually happened it is just that it did not happen in quite the way I said it did.

  2. I just looked at what I wrote around this date in 2012... I have now realised that I am a lot weirder than I thought.

    1. Mr H it is OK we have always thought you were weird . . . . AH DAMN. When I say weird I mean a nice chap, upstanding and respectable like me . . . . AH DAMN. When I say like me I in fact dont mean like me but like someone else entirely.

      It is good to have a little look at our blogs from back then though it can show us how we are changing.

  3. Your tripping about is much more exciting than mine. All I saw today(2014) was the biggest snapping turtle I've ever encountered. Beautiful, ugly thing.

  4. I am glad you are getting some reserve art built up in inventory. That way you can serve it and then later reheat and reserve it. I saw lots of art in Taos and I found a cowboy hat I liked, but my wife said it would look bizarre to wear a cowboy hat with Vibram toe shoes. That I agreed with, but then she said it would be okay if I wore a different kind of shoe/boot. At this point I thought, "Is this woman insane?!?!?" So it is a good thing I didn't buy the cowboy hat. If (when) I move back to South Dakota I can think about getting boots and the CB hat.
