Not sure why I found this amusing. Perhaps the fact that it was on a toilet wall at the Cross-in-Hand garage where I stopped for a McSh*t on the way to Brighton this morning (it wasnt a proper McS....as I didnt get anything to eat, just shamelessly used the facilities). As they didnt have a bidet, the mind boggles as to how they deliver the service! I wouldnt want to

have my bottom washed in the great outdoors (not again!). Am currently reading the Kindly Ones (a 980 page gift from Mum and Dad) - its pretty heavy going and there is masses of detail but its quite compelling. I hope I can make it through it and definitely deserve a bit of lighter reading relief afterwards. Apart from the effect it is likely to have on my persona spending months ploughing through this ghastly story (although it has the feel of authenticity and it really is interesting hearing history told from a different perspective) the damage it is doing to my book holding wrist is incalculable - its so damn heavy and cumbersome! Shall have to try some wrist excercises to counter the effects (doing plenty of that these days). Oh well!
