Mothers' Day

Before he posted it, Wilson showed me the Mothers' Day card he's made for his mum, Mrs Vermilingua. 
He seems to have a strangely formal relationship with her.

A disappointment for Wilson...

Wilson's eBay horn rimmed glasses have arrived, and he is quite disappointed. Honestly, his head is not the best shape for wearing spectacles and when he did manage to balance them in place he admitted himself that they made him look less Tim Roth, more Jack Duckworth.
He fears that this lack of intellectual improvement may scupper his plans for the robot. 'How can I do my best inventing if my glasses keep falling off?' he grumbled.

Work starts on the Domestic Robot

Wilson has started work on designing his domestic robot, although he is now calling it his teddy bear making robot. His design process is severely hampered by most of the components he needs having not yet been invented. 
He's not too downhearted, though, as he says when his Tim Roth horn rimmed glasses arrive he will look a lot more intellectual and will probably be able to think of work-arounds.

Tim Roth sighting!

Yesterday Wilson was contacted by one of his friends who had actually seen Tim Roth walking along in London. She said he didn't shamble as he walked, and that he was wearing horn rimmed glasses. 
W has bought a pair of horn-rimmed glasses off eBay, but says firmly that 'The shambling walk stays.'

Microgestures

Wilson's all-time hero is Tim Roth, and we've been watching re-runs of the wonderful tv series Lie To Me
I don't mind W practicing Dr Lightman's (the Roth character) shambling walk, but when he puts his face right in mine and tilts his head to one side quizzically while he 'reads my face' it does make me feel a little uncomfortable.

W receives an apology... of sorts

A couple of days ago Wilson wrote to the Editor at the Uckfield Examiner asking when their apology to him was going to be printed; he received a letter from him today telling him that the apology had appeared in last Thursday's edition on page 23.
We both went to the recycling bin and finally located the relevant copy. Page 23 was a bit stained by teabags and gravy, but W eventually spotted one of the clues in the crossword puzzle: '7 Down: we done him wrong, 3-5'.
I thought this was pretty paltry, but W thinks it is quite reasonable and feels that his honour has been satisfied.
