# - tripped on the stairs – spag bol and fruit juice went flying across the landing. #fb #
- is going to Wonderful Woking this afternoon to sit in Esquires, drink peppermint and liquorice tea and get on with some bloody writing! #fb #

- … heaven’s messenger, to Zeus most high. – Yeah right! You can tell I’ve never studied the Greeks can’t you! #
- umm, begat, beget, baget. Obviously nothing to do with a french stick. #
- Yes, I’m procrastinating to @surreyanchoress! This ain’t easy! Ted Hughes I’m not! #
- Okay, having typed out the entire Victorian translation of this speech, I am still none the bloody wiser. I’m stuck at the first sentence! #
- Pray tell me, is Hermes the son of Zeus or Atlas? #fb #
- is thinking he might be needing a map sometime soon, but is rather hoping he won’t. #fb #
- Back to Ion. Having trouble with the Gods and the Mortals. No idea who is who! #
- Resorting to my copy of “The Faber Pocket Guide to Greek and Roman Drama” – written incidentally by my mentor, John Burgess. #
