Hi Folks,
This week has seen a flurry of activity here at Deadman Towers
We have recently splashed out on a tint bath, for ophthalmic
lenses, (not my hair, although the time for that is very close, I fear.) On
Friday Deadman was getting in the Halloween spirit mixing coloured concoctions
in said tint bath. He presented me with a tray of beautiful pince nez and
monocles. We now have pink, blue and green. The yellow and lilac are yet to come.
Deadman junior has a plain red lens which looks like a boiled sweet. This could
be good for tricks on grandparents and other unsuspecting relatives.

This was a joint effort between myself and Deadman Junior,
my technical advisor when it comes to using Picasa and Picnik.
On the domestic front, the sausages in lard have been duly
placed in the vicar’s donation box in the church and the courgette is still
producing, but not quite as vigorously as before. The chickens have had an extension on their
run. It was getting incredibly muddy and now they have a lovely patch of fresh
grass, until they start scratching around on it.
On Saturday we met up with our friend Bunny Hooper and his
two children at West Runton a great place for rock pools. The tide was in when
we arrived so we took a stroll along the beach to Sheringham. Having company
definitely speeds Deadman Junior along; he can be a very reluctant walker.

After lunch on the terrace of the Funky Mackerel we headed back to West Runton . There was a camera crew out on the rocks and Deadman Junior was highly intrigued by this, he kept drifting out towards them only to be reeled back in landwards by his dad. When they returned to their van, I asked the question and discovered they were filming about a 17th century Norwich man called Thomas Browne. Deadman Junior was impressed.
