Sorry yesterday was not very exciting but as
I have said many times this is life and unlike that silly Harry Potter bloke
who is all made up and even got right moody and grumpy in the end. I must watch the last
movie sometime. But I suspect from the total lack of hype it was not that good.
I think in the end the series was two films too long. Its commercial greed you
know it ruins stuff.
The Ghost writer called in
tonight to see how everything is going, and we said with luck all is as it
should be “Touch Wood”; where does all this touching wood come from. The dog
says it goes back to the days of making long bows and the bow makers would feel
the grain in the wood and would know it was a good bow. According to the dog he
is the only one in the world left who knows so it is just as well I asked the
question when he was about.
The Ghost Writer was also
saying that he had a phone call from a man in an Indian Call Centre today (no not
Red Indians) and it went something like this
Hello

Yes
Hello

twin brother but he is a pathological liar so you can’t believe him

Is that true about the origins of 'touching wood?' I'm off to wiki to check it out...YOU LIE!
ReplyDeleteNo I do not lie google touch wood and you will see than no one but the dog rally knows the origins of this old term. The dog is never wrong (well only sometimes). As for that Wiki thing as someone one said "Never let the pencil lead the hand for what is write is wrong"
ReplyDeleteOooooooo poo I am on the silly laptop again really it is a pain
