Ideal Holiday Destination


Wilson is in a bit of a quandary – he can't decide between New York and Worthing as his Ideal Holiday Destination. 
He says that if we went to New York he could try the newly-discovered species of ant, the ManhattAnt… but on the other paw, Worthing sounds like a really magical holiday town. 
I told him that I'd been to Worthing many times and, while it was nice enough there, 'magical' was never a word that I'd associated with it.
Personally, I'm trying to steer him towards New York as I'd really like to go there! Yellow Cabs, Broadway, MoMA, The Bronx…

Holiday destinations...


For the past few days Wilson has immersed himself in researching the Ideal Holiday Destination. Front runners are Disneyworld, Australia, Canada, Thailand and, inexplicably, Worthing. 
He had wanted to go to Antarctica (indeed, that was on his list of New Year's Resolutions) but only because he thought it was full of ants; once he discovered that it was full of snow he immediately crossed it off his list. 
It would be very convenient if he were to decide on somewhere that didn't require a passport. Or a bank loan.

Wilson's thoughts lightly turn to thoughts of...


The weather is so lovely at the moment — cold but very sunny — that Wilson's fancy has lightly turned not to thoughts of love but to thoughts of holidays. He has popped into the village to get some brochures from the Travel Agency. I hope he doesn't decide on anywhere too expensive! 
Speaking of love, though, I would dearly like to know who sends those anonymous cards to W every birthday, Xmas and Valentines day…

A free badge for everyone!


Wilson has produced what he calls his Survivors' Badge, for everyone who wasn't killed by the recent asteroid strike. He describes it as a "strike" rather than a "near miss", partly because of what happened in Russia, and partly for its greatly increased dramatic value. 
Since no-one was killed, he is expecting world-wide sales totalling 7 billion, but says that his friends can all have one for free. 
I hope he's not going to store all 7 billion badges in the kitchen...
