Napoleon Beelzebub’s Very Strange Victorian
Curiosity Shop closed way back at the end of March his vast subterranean labyrinth
of floors and chambers where the bulk of his extensive collection of objects
were kept mysteriously vanishing back into the depths of his domain. For now
anyway until a time that Mr Beelzebub calls Global Warming with Pointy teeth
(none of that mandy-pamby half baked Global Warming).
It has (his domain) all been scrubbed and cleaned by his minions, if they did a good job they were allowed a glass of water before being dipped in the cauldron full of bubbling molten rabbits?

Anyway the reason I mention this is we are
off to the little gallery that has now moved into this shop, to an exhibition
preview tonight. I did not have to make invites and I don’t need to remember anyone’s
name or circulate and get confused……WELL COOL.
However before
we go we plan to stop in Bishops
Castle to do a bit of
this and a bit of that, as you do in this part of the world. So I am splitting tonight’s
diary entry into a pre preview and post preview, this bit being the pre, so I
will go now and return in the post ( I don’t mean the postman will squeeze me
though the letterbox either).
PART TWO ......................... LATER
…………………………
A bit Later
We have returned from the
preview so I am now in the post preview position allowing me to bring you all
right up to date. It all looked like it was going really well and loads of folk
had turned up, I even knew the names of quite a lot of them although there were
people who I didn’t know the name of but then I don’t think they knew who I was……
WELL COOL.
I did notice one omission
from the Preview something my good friend Napoleon Beelzebub always made sure
was at all previews because he knew that there was a little gang of us who just
loved them and would sign all those contracts he used to stick in front of folk
when they were otherwise distracted by the aroma and taste of these little
sticks of addictive deliciousness, yes there were no TWIGLETS………. Yes it was a
bit of a shock so in order to recover from this I took a chance and ventured
into the Monty chip shop and had some fairly good fish and chips. Not as good
as The Sun Inn in Marton or Big Bills Greasy Fur-ball Café but not too bad for a
chippy.
However I have eaten
everything now drank a drink of tea and plan to put my feet up, if only I could
get my hands on a few packets of TWIGLETS I could sit and eat all night, I
wonder if moths taste the same, the cat eats them from time to time.
YUCK apparently not…………
Mum has just said IDIOT
