Back and...

...raring to go. Not.

Just wanted to wish all you guys a fantastic 2003 and (yes, I have an ulterior motive) let you know that UKA is running its first (prose and poetry) competition.

Our very own fantastic poet Ivoryfishbone and stunning short story writer Tom Saunders have been bullied into judging the entries. Be lovely if we got one or two!

Details can be scrutinised here:

Hols great, ta, L - didn't want to come back to flat, cold, boring ol' Amsterdam. Bought a sheep back with me though - albeit a stuffed one. It's hanging by its neck from my pc and, unsurprisingly, scowling frighteningly. Actually managed to meet a couple of UKA/ABC'ers (sorry Fish, next time, eh?) - fabulous people both.

Well, there aren't many here, like. Thought I might set up a small cottage industry.

Large enough to squash a sheep in. And it's sauce, Don, SAUCE! Jelly's that wobbly stuff you stick under custard. Oh, these Americans...

Mint ain't fattening though, is it L? Couldn't you just have mint on toast, no butter?

Careful now, I'm on my way to Amsterdam. Might have to import sheep to pay my way ... or custardified mint jelly. Suppress those thoughts you cringing creature!
