Thanks, \u003Ca href=\"http://chamonkee.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">chamonkee\u003C/a>, for the recommendation! I will get back to you about them after I've had a go.\\r\n\u003Cb>Deleter\u003C/b>, that's a funny name for mark-making tools. It reminds me of my favourite joke when I was a kid: \\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>There's a guy sitting on a tombstone in the corner of a graveyard, scribbling away at a musical score in a notebook. But when I look closer, I can see that whenever his pen touches the paper, instead of writing, it erases the lines of the score. I ask the groundskeeper, 'Who is that guy?' The groundskeeper replies, 'That's Mozart. He's busy decomposing.'\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nI liked that joke way too much. It was the only one I could ever remember, argh. No, two jokes: the other one's coming up in this week's \u003Ci>Vern and Lettuce\u003C/i>. It's one I used to tell \u003Ci>ad nauseum\u003C/i>. (Readers on Friday, feel free to groan.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/rhodesbread-e0cafc522d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd I have become a big fan of the \u003Cb>prune, fig and spelt-flour bread\u003C/b> from \u003Ca href=\"http://www.rhodesbakery.co.uk\">Rhodes Bakery\u003C/a>. It's turning into a bi-weekly ritual, that I cycle over to Greenwich, pick up a loaf, then go have coffee with Jeff-the-barista at \u003Ca href=\"http://www.thegreenwichphantom.co.uk/2008/05/oh-beehive.html\">The Beehive\u003C/a> (which is also where I bought Stuart's fabulous \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/153233.html\">shirt and sweater vest\u003C/a>, in their little vintage clothing section, next to the records).","2008-12-09T11:37:00.000Z","nice-things",[],"nice things",1776628725085]
