“Uncle Fred Flits By” is a superb story by P.G. Wodehouse that concerns an eel-jellier.

i’ve lived in london 3 years now and haven’t got past looking at the jellied eels with a little shudder of horror. i have yet to try real eel though, so perhaps i am excused. it’s on the list. i will contemplate the jellied sort again if real eel goes well.

we go to whole foods every now and then – walk about for half an hour smelling the cheese room, snacking on the samples, then we leave. sometimes we invest in some small grocery item. it makes for a nice interlude if you don’t look at the prices too closely 🙂

The British Chinatown you seek is, I believe, in Liverpool.

I do miss the Clothes Shops of Olde England. I’m so tired of the flip-flop culture of L.A.

Dear Nico, I laughed my arse off reading this. Brilliant – especially the robin spit aside. I’ve just bought Mothertongue and am loving it. So thanks.
