I've had a postcard from my sister this morning...


Someone must have shown her the way there. Needless to say, she's been hugging her pillow quite a lot just lately too. And possibly weeping like a willow. But as she says herself, "We spent 6 hours here on the way to Santa Fe (New Mexico). It does not warrant a song being written about it."

Obviously I've no idea why she's going to Santa Fe. Personally I thought she was in Boston. Come to think of it, I don't even know who the "we" is that she refers to. Let's be honest, my sister's life is a complete mystery to me. But on the bright side, I've heard that her new house in Dallas is no longer infested with snakes.

Anyhoo, as a tribute to my much missed (and rarely e-mailed) sister, I've created this little work of art. Sadly Blogger won't let me post it here, for fear that I might be having too much of a good time, so I've had to bung it on my main website. But you're right, it is lovely, and I do look good in a hat.

While I'm here, can I just say thanks to Paul for e-mailing me with this news story. It seems that ITV's appalling Saturday night show 'Rock Around the Block' has been axed after receiving "unfavourable reviews from national TV critics".

So having reviewed it two weeks ago, and stated that "it looks like the kind of thing that could be axed at any moment", I'm now feeling strangely powerful. With a bit of luck I might be able to get June Sarpong removed from our screens next...
