A place where I'll post up some thoughts and ideas - especially on literature in education, children's literature in general, poetry, reading, writing, teaching and thoughts on current affairs.

Meryl Streep at the Dentist
At the dentists today he sang Randy Newman’s
‘Short People’, he did the German tonguetwister:
‘Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und
Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut’
told me that he was friends with Meryl Streep’s
double - who was Maltese and who was in
some kind of trick that the Daily Mail
played on the Sunday Times where
the Sunday Times thought they were
interviewing Meryl Streep but they weren’t
and just the other day he met Cat Stevens’s
brother in a cafe who was with the bloke
who played Romeo in the Zeffirelli film.
I said that I had had a dream about Meryl
Streep when I said to her that she was really
good in that film where she was in a raft going
over the rapids with Sam Neill and she said
thanks. He told me not to chew on the crown
for 24 hours because the glue is in the second
phase.
