So, two months down the line and its time for a sixth post apparently. I don't know how I know. I think its like when birds just simply know when its time to fly south for the winter, or that feeling you get when you know you are going to be sick, but don't want to get out of bed because its really warm, until THAT moment when you think 'I really think I'd better get to the bathroom now'. Its like that, but without the puke - at least at first. Let me know when you've finished reading and if you get the urge then thats fine, unless you are reading this on an iPad on the train. In which case at least have the decency to let the person sitting in front you know.
Anyway everything, including my style of prose, rumbles on predictably, unchanging. Except that now, it is under the aegis of Pope Francis of Argentina, who looks a lot like your Uncle Clive from Daventry. I like him already, he has a homely, trustworthy look with sensible spectacles probably from Dolland and Aitcheson (who have gone a bit upmarket since being replaced as the high street spectacle retailer of choice by SpecSavers). (And Optical Express.) I am not a religious type, but I like the whole white smoke/black smoke thing to tell everyone about the new Pope. In 1457 that was a really efficient way of letting everyone know there was a new leader and I'm pleased they've stuck with it. I'd have been happy with a text alert or something. I am not anti-religion particularly, but I do hold the naive view that I wish we could all just get along. The afterlife is big enough for everyone, probably.
For a while there I thought of mentioning that the trailer for Fast and Furious 6 is out and looks amazing, but then I thought better of it.
