The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
 
And so it has rolled around to being Thursday once again. Charlotte attended Professor Downes’ Academy for Young Ladies yesterday, and did very well indeed. And the best news is that after two and a half years of being a money drain, work on my Exeter house is complete and I have new tenants ready to sign a tenancy agreement on Monday. many thanks to Graham for all his hard work.
 
Our car failed its MOT terminally on Monday so we are using Julia’s until we get a new one.
 
You may well have noticed that we are running late with several things at the moment. Life is massively complicated with health issues, family issues and all sorts of other metaphorical crap on our equally metaphorical plate at the moment. But we are getting there ….. Slowly. And normal service, like they used to say on the BBC when the transmitter went belly up, will be resumed as soon as possible.
 
Ciao darlings….

* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk
 
* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!
 
* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 57 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two small kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. 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 infantile orange cat, and the adventurous kittens?
