October Blues

How on earth did we get to October, 2006? Hedgehog must have drifted off into some kind of aestivation since the last blog.
How is the novel marketing getting on? It isn't. After a few feeble attempts to approach agents, Hedgehog succumbed to the pressures of domestic crises and Open University marking (which is what he's employed at part-time now). Novel1 is no closer to getting to the world, and Novel 2 stagnates at about one page so far.

What your spiny correspondent needs is a good hoof up the prickly rear, which he ought to administer himself. It may happen.

Meanwhile, we trundle through the warmest October that can be remembered. (No frost yet). Just in case you were wondering, the oct part in October means 8, as in the 8th month, just as September means 7th and November 9th. The anomaly is due to Julius and Augustus Caesar (try spelling that as Cesar, my transatlantic friends), who were ruthless, all-powerful rulers who suffered badly from meglomania (so no difference there from today, then).

More rambling nonsense later (perhaps).
