Evil Spirits

This morning I went to meet Ben at the Elephant and Castle. The Architecture Association has asked him to make an audio tour so he has been talking to people about the area and recording it. I told him about the pigeon that got into Greggs window display and stamped all over the icing on the lurid pink cakes- and when the shop assistants got into a flap and started shrieking and shooing it away, the pigeon flapped about so wildly it completely destroyed all those nice lines of cakes and buns. Oh it was so funny! Those little claw prints all through the icing... it drew quite a crowd! There was a man there wih a stall with lots of religious stuff- candles, room sprays and so on. Some of them smelled simply dissgusting- you'd have to buy another room spray to cancel it out. However, I bought some with a native American on with a massive head-dress, and it's supposed to rid the home of evil spirits. I put it in the toilet, where most of the evil spirits lurk, chez McCookerybook.
This afternoon, we made 10 little orange and black cardboard stratocasters for the Song Club performance on Friday- Barnet's Community Liason officer is coming; I think he'll be impressed.
Here's a thought- what would you get if you crossed Van Morrison with Alanis Morisette?
