Wind And Gas

October weather kicking in here. Don't think our hatches will need to be battened but galoshes may be needed. Was it only in Winnie The Pooh that anyone used galoshes? Having looked them up, I realise I have never had a rubberised overboot. I shall go chasing them today. Maybe I'll pair them with a sou'wester - at least they'll see me coming. A bright yellow waxed oil-skin hat is just what we need.

Onwards! Showtime is on the way and Andrew Marr is my guest. The BBC's former political editor has written 'a political entertainment' called Head of State full of juicy gossip and sly asides that he could only have put in a satirical novel. He just knows stuff. And he says he wishes he'd studied economics because that's where the power is. Anyway his book set on the eve of a referendum to decide Britain's future in Europe one way or another and people keep getting murdered. Cor blimey guvnor, call the rozzers and no mistake.

So oldies then and STORMY WEATHER may well cut the mustard today don't you think? Sou'westers for all! Galosh'n'roll!
