Tuesday 4 December

Over celebratory ales Mimi Pixel tells me that I am FEATURED in her mechanical journal, as ‘Duke’. So now the parodying of royalty is added to the slop pile of our crimes! Oh, the shame. On the upside she will undertake a grand continental tour on the strength of her advance and myself and Petra Couture (a mutual friend who teaches at the Bluecoat University) are invited to join her for part of it. With Daisy on her way and cotton slumped I am sorely tempted to abandon both for a time.
