Zen Newsflashes

• Doing football paintings of Tony Currie and Pope John Paul II. One a mystical enigma worshipped by many, the other a bloke who lived in Rome
• @tracey_thorn After years of trying a buddhist approach, I've found old fashioned traps with a raisin/cashew bait have got rid of our mice.
