Did you miss me? No, don’t suppose you did. Oh well, we’re here now so let’s just get on with it. Have a letter here from a young reader:
Dear Skookum Joe,
My name is Tabitha and I am 8 months old. I have been reading your blog for most of my life (we were on holiday in June) but have not yet, as your sub-heading warns, become indifferent. My interest toward life and the world around me remains acute. At the moment I have quite a fascination with shiny things and pooing. I also have a box with a crank-handle and some sort of pop-up lid that I won’t open. I have tried bashing it on the floor and on the walls but so far the lid remains firmly and tantalizingly in place. Perhaps cranking the handle will somehow unlock the lid and allow me access to whatever shiny things might be inside. I’m just waiting for a quiet moment to explore this angle.
So you see Mr Joe, I can’t be indifferent when the world is full of shiny things, mystery boxes and poo.
To which I replied
Dear Tabitha,
How did you get this address? Are you stalking me? Yes, poo is fun.
Sincerely,
SJ

poo is fun, so long as you're not on the receiving end
