Oh, for fuck's sake. I am having a really hard morning here: didn't make it to the Lit & Phil (though I did actually leave the house to do so; ten minutes later I was home again), have struggled to grind out a page and a half and was just thinking maybe I could tip it over to the third page and end the chapter when the Mighty Metal Percussion thundered into action.

There's a vast container lorry parked on the pavement directly outside my house. Been there a couple of hours, just sitting; but I guess it's broken, because now someone is thumping on it, irregular patterns with something heavy that makes the whole damn thing resonate. I shall go mad, and squat in the fireplace with ashes in my hair. That'll help.

Hey, that always works for me. (Don't forget to be naked.)

It only works if you have a black quill and paper - then words flow. Dark, dark words.

You could always set the boys on them . . .

An old 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again' joke:

A man was sitting in the fireplace. It was Sherlock Holmes.

"Aha! The grate detective!"
