Publish and... damn!: February 2008
http://publishanddamn.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Publish and. damn! The printable comments on the life of a bookmaker. Lives in six words. In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway bet ten dollars that he could write a complete story in just six words. He wrote: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn." He won the bet. Try it. It's not easy. You don't have to write your entire autobiography - go back to Hemingway's example and create a complete, but short, story. Dick Hadfield: Foetus, son, brother, husband, father, vegetable. Robin Pickering: If only I had turned left.

Life in Batland: Chez Crown Prince Harpikuu
http://batland.blogspot.com/2007/07/chez-crown-prince-harpikuu.html
Goings-on in Liverpool and Transylvania; publishing, HGVs, nonsense, wolves, bears and chickens. Chez Crown Prince Harpikuu. This faithful subject took part as kitchen skivvy for 5 hours, then transmogrified into an oddity from Sighisoara for the remains of the day. This frightening creature drifted round the lawn like a malign spectre with a large camera, recording evidence for The Dark Prince Harpkikü. Dana Goia on culture. Sedbergh book town events.

Life in Batland: Reader's gold star
http://batland.blogspot.com/2007/06/readers-gold-star.html
Goings-on in Liverpool and Transylvania; publishing, HGVs, nonsense, wolves, bears and chickens. We had a great email this morning from Orkney. Gladdens a publisher's heart, this kind of thing. Tom gets a gold star and undying gratitude. I was really impressed with the 'Mersey Minis' book. it is a gem. It's quirky, charming and 'unputdownable'. The woodcuts by Clare Curtis compliment the book so well and give a sense of atmosphere and life to the text.". Tom Muir, Orkney Boat Museum. Dana Goia on culture.

Life in Batland: Story of the week
http://batland.blogspot.com/2008/01/story-of-week.html
Goings-on in Liverpool and Transylvania; publishing, HGVs, nonsense, wolves, bears and chickens. Story of the week. Couldn't resist this story from Ananova: what a fantastic conflict of interests. Mourners shivering in a chapel are to be kept warm using heat generated from cremating their loved ones. The idea will be tried at a crematorium near Manchester where grieving friends and relatives have complained of the cold during services. Http:/ www.ananova.com/news/story/sm 2672129.html?

Life in Batland: Hostage to fortune
http://batland.blogspot.com/2008/01/hostage-to-fortune.html
Goings-on in Liverpool and Transylvania; publishing, HGVs, nonsense, wolves, bears and chickens. The idea is that I take a snap of everyone I meet this year. It's my 50th in April, it's my 20th year in Liverpool, and it's Liverpool's year as Capital of Culture. Seems a good time to try. Given my abysmal record of self-discipline, this nice idea might peter out by the end of the week, but you can see for yourself by checking the 2008 PEOPLE blog (see link opposite). Dana Goia on culture. Well kiss my Ringo.

Goings-on in Liverpool and Transylvania; publishing, HGVs, nonsense, wolves, bears and chickens. Just discovered a delightful page on the RHS's Wild about Gardens website (link below).
