Kitson and coffee.

Today's venue was the Caffe Nero on the corner of Rose St and Union St.

I walked into town, initially to post something and also as it was a really nice, cold bright day and I was listening to Daniel Kitson's podcasts and I wanted to carry on listening as I walked, it's a great way to listen to comedy as it makes you look really rather psychotic, especially if you have a hat, some unobtrusive earphones and a beard to hide the wires.

People give a lot of room to large men bustling through town laughing to themselves and that makes walking in any town a much more pleasant experience. That I also had some great comedy to listen to was the icing on an already icing filled cake. Essentially a cupcake cup full of icing.

I also went into Waterstone's to have a look at a copy of 'Just My Type' by Simon Garfield which I bought for my Kindle the other day and I now, having seen how well done it is in the paper copy, I sort of wish I'd bought as a real book. The typefaces all get to make little cameos as he mentions them and this doesn't render properly on a Kindle as it has a limited number of fonts and uses whichever one you've set as the default for almost all of them. This makes it a slightly less satisfying book as, though I am thoroughly enjoying it, I have to imagine most of the fonts.

Yet more complaining from me. I had a great walk, nice cup of coffee and listened to some great work and I find the time to complain about something. This doesn't reflect my mood, I was very happy all day. I even fixed the indicator lenses on my car where I'd smashed them off a few weeks ago.

So that brings us to today's joke:

What trousers should you wear to drink coffee?

CappuChinos.

Don't for one second think that I am unaware of the irony of talking about Daniel Kitson in a blog and then presenting that joke. You are now reading that joke at some remove, I was actually listening to Mr Kitson's act as I wrote it on the stick, I felt like a man daubing stick figures on the wall of the Louvre with his own shit. The things I go through to bring this drivel to you.

I seem to have settled on a Pilot 0.1mm Drawing Pen, it works well and I had one handy.
