I did consider setting up Dust-a-Kid as a commercial concern but in the end decided against it. I just don't have the time. Poems to write... coffees to drink... you know.<BR/><BR/>I tried posting up a blank page, too.

If so then please let me know the rates as I have four (varying ages and genders) children all of whom could do with a bloody good dusting. They are clean and house trained but seem to have no taste in music and I fancy a bit of dusting might be a cure or the tonic that they need.<BR/><BR/>I await your earliest response.<BR/><BR/>Your humble serpent,<BR/><BR/>Cocaine JesusRussell CJ Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519621428036481426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1111995090076729352005-03-28T08:31:00.000+01:002005-03-28T08:31:00.000+01:00dusting the children...what a funny pic that'll ma...dusting the children...what a funny pic that'll make :P<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter Roger!amiethinggoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421763220934136207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1111925651953751312005-03-27T13:14:00.000+01:002005-03-27T13:14:00.000+01:00If you use a damp cloth it saves you having to dus...If you use a damp cloth it saves you having to dust them too oftenSue hardy-Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303253173299793670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1111834800086419972005-03-26T11:00:00.000+00:002005-03-26T11:00:00.000+00:00There!

I can forget about it for a while. I’m full of doubts about it, though. Now I’m reworking a verse novel that I wrote a couple of years ago. I’m quite excited about it – had a few new ideas. More of that anon.<br /><br />It’s a gorgeous day. The sun is beaming down. Spent a few hours in the garden. Mowed the back lawn, tidied some of the flower beds.<br /><br />The roast chicken’s in the oven. England under 21 soccer on TV this evening. Tomorrow’s the big one. England’s first game in the World Cup qualifiers.<br /><br />Spring is here. Happy Easter everyone!Roger Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393920954647379508noreply@blogger.com
