As recommended, I’ve gone back to the good old ‘scribbles on a Post-It’ method of plotting to flesh out Post & Publish. Chapter titles I’ve scribbled one sentence plots for (though not necessarily in the order they’ll appear)-
Stupid Girl– first draft here.
The Album Rule
Must Not Mention Sheep
Birthday Girl
Work/ Life Balance
Musical Relationships (alternate titles Separate Tables or Venn)

Does anyone know where I can get some cheap fireworks for next Friday’s Independence Day shenanigans?
Sainsburys have instituted the potato-finder on their organic spuds, so you can track them from earth to plate, working out food miles and such.

At Sellafield they had problems with the seagulls, to the extent that if they shat on you you had to go and check that the poop wasn’t radioactive. Allegedly, truly vindictive types would throw sandwiches into open cabriolets so the upholstery would get coated.

In 1964 the US government decided to find out how easy is it to build an a-bomb. They set two physics PhDs the task of designing an atomic bomb with no prior experience or access to classified research. After 30 months they had a design for an implosion type bomb (not the simple cannon type) that military scientists confirmed would work and had about the same yield as the Hiroshima bomb. It turns out that it is complicated enough that a school kid can’t do it but there’s nothing a physics post grad couldn’t handle.
You know, I had been hoping that the phrase bovine eructation from a couple of days ago would turn out to be a Googlewhack, but no such luck. I am top of the results though.
