Getting ready to steal (off to) Guernsey
As surely as a solitary magpie heralds disaster, a minor PK ailment heralds work. And so waking up feeling rather hot and lifeless, my lovely French client soon got in touch needing some concepts and a speedy turnaround. Good to squeeze in this smidge of work, also did a little more on the anthology of Guernsey site, uploading a excerpt from Folklore of Guernsey by Marie De Garis about the time when the fairies (from far-away England) invaded Guernsey.
Matthew the composer got in touch with some interesting comments on the poems I sent him. Looking forward to discussing things more over a beer, and learning about composition. There are some amazing snippets of his music on his website. And Mark Hill pointed me to this sample of the travel book he is working on.
Getting ready to hoof over to Guernsey with Lorraine on Thursday.
Also reading last night about the three Jerseymen who tried to steal Guernsey, by drunkenly roping their boat to rocks off St Martin's point near Jerbourg. “What a surprise all those Guerneymen are going to have tomorrow,” shouts a Jerseyman in glee. Possibly because of the cider they’d enjoyed, they all three dozed in the boat as the tide carried them homeward. In their dreams they were met by a great crowd of Jerseymen, and proudly handed over the island of Guernsey. Naturally it all comes to nothing, and the story serves only to illustrate the silliness of Jerseymen.
