Appleyard at Ferney

Sitting in the sunshine in Palo Alto I realise that it's downhill from now on. Two summits have been climbed. I have an Appreciation Society on Facebook - you are all required to join, it has only nine members one of whom is my daughter - and I have a page on IMDB thanks to a dazzling appearance which I can't remember on BBC's Breakfast in February 2007. My life's work is complete. Maintenant il faut cultiver notre jardin

  1. On your IMDB page, unfortunately, there are no interesting trivia: date of birth, height etc ...

    Cela il faudrait le faire pendant toute notre vie car c'est la seule chose qui nous rend vraiment heureux.

  2. I think you've also been 'Persauded' (how nice to be eponymised) - being away, you'll have no doubt missed this week's New Scientist - book review within on 'Mortal Coil' by David Boyd Haycock - strap line 'live forever or die trying' - I think this chap might be on to something ...

  3. who chose that photograph? it looks like a man straining to shit after a long night on the bevvy. a bit of moisturizer might've helped.
    do you realise this is the first time I've actually seen a Facebook? And my daughters have one each too! So, what happens now?

    I think some things are best kept secret...

  4. ...that breakfast appearance - that's the photo, isn't it? No, I expect it was the buddhist guy.

  5. Instead of being more present in everything, be more absent. It's healthier.

  6. The latter activity more appropriate.
