Today at work I received an email from donna.casw@haemorrhoider.com with the subject line Why your ears keep ringing (and what you can do about it!). I haven't had a good piece of spam for ages.

I have been looking at knitting books on Amazon and clicked on one called The Manly Art of Knitting. As you would. So now my Amazon browsing history consists of Barbara Cartland, Booker Prize nominees and knitting books, and it seems The Manly Art of Knitting was enough to make Amazon finally stop recommending further Barbara Cartland titles to me. I am not sure that its new suggestions are an improvement, though.
(The one that's been cut off is Does God Ever Speak Through Cats? No, is the answer to that.)

Here he is after his walk:

Next Doors came home yesterday. It felt strange walking to the shop for the paper this morning without him.
