Still have not got around to naming a character "Sigismund Arbuthnot the Mad Maths Master". Must do something about this.

Very glad that it's the weekend. Am going to have to make an excursion to locate a nearby post office tomorrow, as that is apparently where Parcelforce left a parcel they were supposed to deliver to me. I am trying hard to be grateful that I was actually informed of its whereabouts, and that it is comparatively close to me, rather than way out at wherever their depot is. At least the weather forecast is good.

There was a writer – I’ll withhold his name – who died and was transported to Heaven. Finding himself standing before the throne of the Almighty, he fell to his knees in a rapture and cried:

“Lord! I read your New Testament and it changed my life! Everything I did was based on that book. It was the best thing ever written – better, even than the Old Testament!”

Then did the Lord God Jehovah start to his feet in a rage. Thunder and lightning played about his face and the universe shook as he cried:

“And what was wrong with my first book?”

-- quoted from Michael Swanwick's journal
