Sunday Story - I'm dying for a pint

I’m dying for a pint

I cannot wait til Saturday

Its been a hundred days or so,

Without the heaving crowd

And the amber nectar glow.

I cannot wait til Saturday

To see my mates again

And all that noisy banter

Among those so-called friends.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’ve been locked down don’t you see

My freedom and a well-earned drink

Is my simple little plea.

I cannot wait til Saturday

You don’t need to push or hurry

All civilized table service now

And we can still go for a curry.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Social distance is my middle name

I promise I’ll be careful

I know it’s not a game.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Look I’ve only had a few

And I can tell you categorically

That you haven’t got a clue.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m itching for a fight

Just need some drink inside me

To convince me that I’m right.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m sure I’ll be OK

I’ve managed work and shopping

So I’ll risk it anyway.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Look I’m telling you I’m clean

I know I’m in your space now

But you know I’m virus free.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Blue lights are everywhere

You might think it’s irresponsible

Not to me, I just don’t care.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m dying for a pint

Now maybe you’ll be dying too

All because I didn’t mind.

Introducing Woolfe and McClaw...

Right, let's get cracking. Some of you may have noticed our domain name is Woolfe and McClaw. Long story short, youngest child and I invented Woolfe and McClaw, the eponymous crimefighting duo whose first adventure we unveil in a short story called The Great Eggscape. It is a pun filled adventure in which Dave Woolfe, a veteran Alsatian detective and his new apprentice, Brian McClaw, a ginger Tomcat are brought in to solve an eggsplosively charged egg robbery. The Great Eggscape has 8 Chapters and we are going to release a chapter a week (unless you pay the ransom to stop crimes against literature). We have an idea what Dave and Brian might look like but we would really love bored or budding illustrators to come up with possible drawings for the characters and the story as they develop and the story unfolds. Post your drawings in the comments on this blog or email them to WoolfeandMcClaw@outlook.com We can't promise you Grayson Perry Art Club fame......yet. We will, of cours...

Woolfe and McClaw - Chapter 4

This week we are getting to the half way stage in our story. We would love you to submit more of your pictures to bring the words to life. Talking of pictures we have been drawn to the brilliant Grayson's Art Club on Channel 4. Armed with only 3 felt tips and a sheet of A4, I had a go at the 'View from my window' challenge. Surprisingly I wasn't picked! Woolfe and McClaw deserve to be represented by some of the considerable drawing talent that is out there. Take my latest effort. This is Bobby Bacon -looks more like he's wearing a onesie! So please, please keep your drawings coming in, and give Woolfe and McClaw the illustrations they deserve. Now, where were we? Last time Agents Dave Woolfe and Brian McClaw were invest-eggating the egg robbery at Foghorn Farm. They had interviewed the chickens, the sheep, the Bacons as well as Pumpkin and Kye Stables and found not so much as a dicky bird. In Chapter 4, Dave and Brian begin to piece together what few clues they have...

Woolfe and McClaw - A Series of Eggs-traordinary events

Hi folks Thanks to all of you that have submitted your drawings and sketches for The Great Eggscape. We need more so please keep them coming. It must be a good idea since none other than JK Rowling (a slightly more famous Edinburgh based author) is doing something similar to support mental health. For those that have sent in illustrations for W&M, you might want to try your hand at her latest adventure, The Ickabog, too. In our story the egg puns keep coming, now that Dave has recovered from his egg induced anaphylaxis, he and his sidekick Brian are back at the farm to interview more potential suspects. But just as they seem to be getting to the knub.....disaster strikes! Chapter 5 – A series of eggs-traordinary events Brian arrived at CSA HQ, bright eyed and bushy tailed, at about 8 AM. Dave had been up for a while having walked about town trying to figure out how Frank Fox had managed to come by the eggs without anyone seeing or hearing anything. And why would ...
