T-shirt

The day has been cheered by Anthony sending me this picture of a t-shirt he made in 1984 to come to a Helen and the Horns gig in North London. He came with some friends from school, all in home made t-shirts
I remember a guy called Alan making one another time- he gave me a book of bird illustrations that I've still got to this day.
And the Helen and the Horns fan club in Amsterdam, who made their own headed note-paper and wrote to John Peel on it.
And Pippa from Hampshire who used to write hilarious letters to me every week about things like her headmistress banning Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because the Oompa Loompas were a racist concept.

There's a builder next door with his radio perma-tuned to Heart FM. What an awful station! Endless Lighthouse Family and other similar bands who think that singing droning melodies that consist of one note is fun.
He has a Nokia phone that punctuates the aural tedium with the well-known ringtone
Not even the 'You styoopid bugga' pigeons can beat that!

Someone's whacking a snare drum really hard in a house down the road. The wind's whispering in the trees and planes scrape across the sky every few minutes. Have I got the energy to go and get another library book?
