THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN DOES HIS OWN THING

The Gonzo Daily - Monday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Things are going reasonably well today. I have a plethora of interns (does anyone know what the collective noun for such people is?) painting and decorating the conservatory, which is going to look super swish when it is done. Volume Two of George Eberhart's Mysterious Creatures is also under way, as are the new book by Karl Shuker and a biography of The Waterboys. I have also found myself in a gastropod-acquisition state of mine and have just bought some eggs of Marisa cornuarietis which despite being commonly known as the giant ramshorn, isn't actually a ramshorn at all, but a specialised apple snail which grows between  18-22 mm wide, and 48-56 mm high, Things like that make me happy.

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with an orange kitten named after a song by Frank Zappa puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange kitten?
