The Year of the Monkey

Cherry

Acceptance

This story was partly inspired watching a programme about adults with learning difficulties going round Britain on a double-decker bus. It was on the same night as the Oscars which in contrast was repellent. Recently I went to see Adam Hills, an Australian comic who reveals some interesting things about Big Red Fire Engines. It came together like cheese and chutney.

Blood, Gravy, Sweat And Egg

My mother told me a story recently about how she knew a man many years ago in Portsmouth who worked at the hospital as porter. Tommy would steal blood or plasma and feed it to his prize winning tomatoes which were by all accounts humongous.
