The music of honeysuckle would have the hum of bees and the flutter of butterflies in it.

Yes! It would. That's wonderful.

Music of the butterfly wing. A delicate flutter.

Music of honeysuckle?

Or this one, which mentions honeysuckle:

heheh. Love it. . Good old Hoagy.

I love it that it doesn't mention honeysuckle. Cryptic. Atmospheric. Suggestive.



So Philae seems to have woken up.

Is it serious that it tweeted Earth, saying 'Hullo Earth, can you hear me?'

I thought the BBC news were doing some kind of April Fool, but it's not April 1st.

Philae can send tweets? Ah well, good morning then, little probe. Can we tweet you?



Next tweet from Philae...

'Hey guys, can I borrow 67p? The price of a coffee here on Comet 67P is 67p (cheap or what? good tourist gimmick) but I'm totally skint.

I've written my dodgy story - The Major Sees Red on A87855114.

I don't know if you'll want it.

That's lovely. Thanks, I got it for next week.

Interesting story, mvp! Scary ending. Yikes, those cameras are everywhere, even in the cheery, peaceful scene in Trafalgar Square. That's very evocative that scene, somehow.



Life good. Lovely summer! My sense of smell has returned. I've had this sinusy thing going on for months, blocked nose, and I didn't realise that my sense of smell had been impaired, till it returned. Today I smelt the summer in the city, reminded me of Athens, Greece. Coffee and herbs and onions and tobacco and bells. The smell of bells? Yes, the cathedral bells were ringing and they somehow had a metallic bellsound sound-scent.

Sounds like a perfume. Today I'm wearing metallic bellsound.

CC, maybe you had an allergy attach from something that is flowering their and it clogged your sinuses. Check out the FP for literary gossip in DG format.

CC, if you're wearing metallic bellsound, I'm wearing onion and garlic. I spend so much time chopping and crushing.

MVP, your cardiovascular system must be in great shape and I'm sure no would dare attack you!

MVP the Vampire hunter! A new persona!

heheh. . I love it.



Yes, I think it's a kind of a hayfever thing that's blocked my sinuses, or a dust allergy. I've taken to gargling with seasalt and warm water, it's sorting it out, at least keeps it at bay.

I tried some tablets from the pharmacy. However, I only took two of them because they made me feel peculiar, and I kept looking in the mirror and wondering what on earth I should do with my antennae. A Cockroach brown tint would be sooo pretentious Kafka, and lime green would be too low budget sci-fi. My hairdresser said I should tie them into a big loopy bow and add a pink sparkly ribbon.



That's quite a stupid paragraph, the bit about the antennae.

We're having a cracking fine summer. Been lurking on the Jurassic coast, and still spending hours in my room, forsaking my laptop for the synth, laying down the tunes of my life story.

Just wrote a piece called Agitated F sharp, Melting to Mellow Muse Mash. Which, in the grand scheme of things isn't a significant contribution to society, but it keeps me happy, and I offer a smile with my new filmstar teeth.

I have a couple of new teeth which look very realistic, but the filmstar bit is exaggeration. heheh.



Solstice Greetings!!!! And may the Yuletide be upon us. . Like, soon.

Hey Daydreamers, the new issue of is up, with another creative amazing image done by our gracious hostess here and a story from MVP as well. Stop over and comment so our contributors feel appreciated!

It's a pity we don't do sound here. I'd love to know what Agitated F sharp, Melting to Mellow Muse Mash sounds like.

...gaep! ...gasp! 114F/46C today (actually that's somewhat cooler than usual for this time of year) ...and, at last! The days are getting shorter!

Hello beautiful daydreamers

Hope you all had a wonderful Solstice weekend

Just saying hi, sending love and good wishes and leaving plenty of iced Perculiar
