I’ve said it before but Google trends is an addictive piece of software, you type in any random collection of search strings and it shows you peoples search patterns over the last 2 years. so the random piece of information for the day: the seasons
winter??? 
spring??? 
summer??? 
autumn?
Autumn is the least popular season, with summer starting just after Christmas and lasting all the way to around August.
Why do they sell cat food in six-packs? I mean, I understand that six tins of cat food bundle together more conveniently for the plastic-wrapping machine than seven, but really, does anyone have a cat that they don’t feed one day a week? Anyone responsible, I mean.
Once every six weeks, I buy twice as much cat food as usual, making a minor impact on my grocery budget, and a major impact on the weight of my shopping for that week. Because, for some obscure reason, it is cheaper to buy tins of cat food in extra packaging, than to buy the amount that you might reasonably expect to need between now and next week’s shopping trip.
It makes no sense.
You try not to laugh, but bird spotters are a funny lot; they travel all over the place just to see birds they’ve never seen before. So imagine the scene, you’ve come from far a field, there’s a bird no one has seen in the UK in over twenty years sitting over on that roof, all your bird spotting friends are there too…. then comes along Mr Sparrow Hawk, spots tea, and has a nice Mediterranean treat, bird gone.
My favorite quote…? “It’s very unfortunate that it was devoured after such a short space of time”, Why? did you want it to take longer? bird spotters… a funny bunch.
Especially Kevin, coz his posts are sillier than mine. But me too, because I said “coz” and God, apparently, doesn’t like slang.
This is according to a scary man in America. The general principle seems to be, if it’s possible to do wrong, then do nothing at all.
Kevin’s now researching the Restored Church of God, and confirming my earlier suspicions - scary, scary people.
So I’ve had an idea for my next novel*:
It’s a book written in the style of a diary, all about the daily commute to work, the book is written from the perspective of someone who gets the train to and from work every day, and records there thoughts and observations about the other passengers on the journey.
All is normal, until we notice that people are going missing, and we realize that strange things are a-foot….
totally fictional of course, but I do have a collection of weird and wonderful characters to draw on.
*it will also be my first, but it sounds better
As an aside for the second time in about ten minutes I’ve ended up looking at www.bolton.org.uk (I searched for trains on google to get the piccie) a site I have never seen before. It’s like I’m in some sort of web whirlpool and www.bolton.org.uk is the plug hole!
Aubergine is not a good vegetable for soup.
