Sparky Update!

Sparky, as his friends and disciples will know has been suffering from a bad case of ennui.


To lift his spirits, he took a rest cure in Normandy. Thankfully, the combination of sea air and fine cuisine (moules frites and camembert) has seen a return to his usual ebullience. Though the comment by a total stranger that he had "les oreilles de lapin" (rabbit's ears) and was a "chien bizarre" did little to improve international relations.


His weekly advice will resume shortly.........
