…and this be the blog

…and this be the blog.

Blog? blog? I mean, is it capital-Blog (um, Capital-Blog?) or just blog? I suppose I should know that, me being a pro. editor an’ all. Ah, well – it can be a house style thing, eh? Or, a house-style thing, or…

(I’m already beginning to think this isn’t going to go well…)

The thing is, for a while now I’ve been thinking this every time I fetch the washing out of the washing machine and get it ready for hanging up: I always lay the wet socks over my hand in just the way Michael the fish man used to lay the pieces of fish over his hand, saying “…nice piece of plaice, that”. So now I always have to think of the fish man every time I wash socks.

(Seemed eminently bloggable to me…?)
