Peter And The Hare on:
Some people have asked us for a place to begin. If you would like a particular place to sit, we have set forth some suggestions, if it is not too ostentatious to do so, recorded to this miraculous device, which I scarcely ever use. Ultimately you can place your Reader’s Chair wherever you are inclined; whether by the window or the furnace, or any place or dimension within this Blog House, to which we welcome you. We are merely the footstool. Click on the dictaphone to see the entirely disposable result of a liberty taken.
The Dictaphone – Should You Desire Some Place To Start!
Year 1 Retrospective
In a year:
I opened the window and had to stop myself from falling.
There were trees… I was quite tired, though.
The shopkeeper added his own money to the till.
The Moon did not have golden syrup.
There was, instead, a pigeon, and many pigeon servants would follow.
There were door-handles…
…and I met Dmitri…
…and Dmitri met the Deer Girl…
…while I played a lot of Tetris.
The monkey squeaked. The organ squeaked.
We discovered the Internet…
…and The Beetles.
There were silverfish.
There was some poetry.
I am Peter;
An ordinary Man who nevertheless has a great talent for withstanding the curious. My endless days are made painless by the company of my good friend and Hare, whom I fear is not long for any of these worlds. Being a hare, he is cursed with an awkward temperament. Nobody in the afterlife would abide him, and I happen to know that they have prepared an escape route for the occasion of his visit.
But brothers are brothers. When two brothers make a precarious living out of the written word, one must overshadow the other. And I am the one who has been left starving. The Hare posts his poetry here, and he has permitted me to post my crude attempts. Hare with me.

Hi! I like your blog too. Whimsical is what I’d call it, and humorous. Thanks for stopping by my site.
… And here we hare!
Thank you for the witty words in my blog, I liked them!
Your blog seems intertesting too,I will have a deeper look around. But to start with, your “about” is surely the most original I have eevr seen in WordPress…
[...] now that I’ve figured out how to make some text bigger than other text, I decided to improve the “About” page . There’s now that little bit more hope and direction for those that seek [...]
finally made my way over here and feel at home. will link.

the images are not mine, I get a lot of stuff from the archive of old books at http://www.gutenberg.org/ often these are so old that rhey are out of copyright, so as far as I know anyone can use them, and anyway some decomposing Victorian gentleman isn’t gonna come a-rappin’ at your door, unless you’re very unlucky…
It is a pleasure to meet you, and I have skimmed some of the front page…I may have to immerse myself deeper, but so far, I have been entertained, and my ears have been perked…If you don’t mind….Im adding you to my blogroll…
The hare will always be quicker and twitchier, I suppose, but I am grateful that Peter has the generosity to share with us. (it’s not often and so often overlooked that eloquence should supercede conformity, I wish more understood that and therefore it is always a bright moment when I can read stuff that is that, this here.) Dammit, making no sense, so I’ll stop now, ha!
Back for a visit, just want to say hi. Hope all is well with you. Will visit your etsy shop.

I was looking for a print of a pic that hung in my grandmother’s kitchen. When I googled Children peeling potatoes it took me to your site. I cannot find any info about it on your site. Please email me if you have any info.
There is no information, Ali. Here at least.
Seriously, I have no idea about it. What a curious and lovely picture though, don’t you think?
and will you come back one day?
