Driftwood


1 An embedded circular box perforated with bars
2 Antique old metal birdcage
3 Skinny table legs of mahogany
4 Life's obscurity
5 Magicians, sheriffs and moustaches
6 That dark horse that comes riding in to seal the deal
7 Feathery half-mechanical object
8 Piece of driftwood
9 Trapdoor
10 The last grain of sand slips away.


The 'driftwood', waiting to see where the sea of obstacles and opportunities will take it until the point it's washed up on shore.

FUP a modern fable

FUP by Jim Dodge is a brilliant book, one I borrowed off my brother.

A story about Jake, an old addicted gambler and immortal from his home brewed (97% pure) Ol' Death Whisper wisky and his giant grandson 'Tiny' who goes hunting after his nemesis, a wild bore called Lockjaw together with his pet duck called FUP, no ordinary duck, a massive detective duck with a nose to track down lockjaw's trails. They all share something in common, they are all insane. - Read it, you'll enjoy it.

Willy Wonka's sugar cane factory

As close as it would get to a Wonka factory, in the midst of stretches of sugar cane
fields, lies a small building where they make sugar, toffee and sugary sweats from the
ground basics, old skool way. Was an experience to remember. and I definitely ate
way too much...
