Murderous mysteries!

Dear Diary. I was killed last night, then I danced with my killer before being carried off by a dream. All in a night’s work! A most marring experience it was, full of drama, accusations and knifes in the back! Of course after my death I immediately rose as a ghost and could partake in […]

Being in the Know

Dear Diary. A strange fellow he is, that Orbie. Why cares he what a jester thinks of him? Why does he bother one whit about the pointless things I say? I know I talk too much, but he has known me this long – he should know that he should pay me no heed by […]

Heavy breakfast

 The other day I had breakfast with Countess Dmitreva, the very nice lady who has agreed to retain me and made me her court-fool (still can’t really stomach such a fancy title for myself though). She is so very kind and generous! The waiter of the Blue Ballad looked at me like I was something […]

Give me a light-hearted, friendly exchange of trivial love stories and shunning face-slaps any day! One of the ‘bathers’ were the Countess Dmitreva. […]

The Joys of bathing

The absolutely best investment the Guild of Troubadours ever did was to install a bath in the guild hall! It’s all warm and wet and even though Mrs Buttons is not too keen on bathing, I try to drop in there as soon as the cold seeps deep enough into my fingers. Juggling in this […]
