Great entertainment as usual. Interested to hear about rawdogging - think I’ve done this lots in my life, albeit in a different form and space: currently supporting someone else doing it as they oversee a new scarecrow trail in Meole. I’ve sometimes found I just need to develop a word for situations - anxcitement- for my sister as she prepared for her wedding feeling simultaneously anxious and excited - I expect most performers feel this! Currently I’m exploring the impact of Pedestriaphobia - again in Meole, at the island, where traffic is king and there is no consideration for the needs of pedestrians

Oh, and actually I was rather puzzled by the ‘Enough blue in the sky to make a sailor’s jacket’ snippet as my nan used to quote this alleged fact to us on beach days in the late 1960’s early 70’s to make us think the sun was imminent (whilst also dismissing any rain as ‘sea fret’)

Ah, that's interesting. And 'sea fret'! I've not heard that for decades!

'Anxcitement' is a marvellous word! I can think of so many applications for that ...

How's the Pedestriaphobia work coming along?

Thanks, Jim, for all you do to quietly unravel the metaphorical plate of ever-more tangled spaghetti we currently live in. Glad to be a part of the 'Hello You' family :)
