Dude on half a motorbike, Shag Bay. August 2021. The Humans by Matt Haig Synthesizing 'clever' and 'funny' is a tough act in a novel. Too often, what is intended as humourous can land as smug or smarmy. Or, perhaps more often, tiresome and dull. Credit to Haig here, as I found The Humans both smug AND dull. The whole thing was just so obvious, laborious descended into a sickly sweet tweeness that was clearly intended to be sincere and wry. Perhaps it was my mood, as looking at other reviews here, I am clearly swimming against the current. Not for me. ⭐ 1/2
Ezra finds a tree. Walk to Cathedral Rock, Mount Wellington. http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/the-super-bowl-li-questions.html 01 What is the worst nickname that anyone has ever called you? I never liked “Finger” (McCRACKen). It generally led people in an impure direction. 02 Have you got a favourite flower? I like pansies. And proteas. 03 Do you add a sauce, ketchup or other artificial flavourings to your food? I’m not sure what is meant by “artificial”? If you mean “condiments”, I occasionally use them. Mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, soy sauce. That kind of thing. 04 Describe yourself using only words that begin with the letter 'T'. Tenacious. Thinking. Tumultuous. 05 What is your lover's pet name for you? You’d have to ask her. I’m not sure that she says it out loud. 06 What is your least favourite colour? Teal. Or cyan. Or maybe puce. 07 Who did you vote for in the last election, and did they win? I honestly can’t remembe

Alan, aw shucks!
Baino, they're my fourth favourite. Take the camera everywhere and take photos all the time. Some are bound to some good. That's my philosophy.
