So, uh ...
'Oh, have you been making mistakes, boss? Ha, ha, ha!'
No. I don't make mistakes, Voice. Idiot! The occasional spelling mistake, sure. Sometimes I might put one of my conceptual phrases in the wrong place. But nothing serious. / No. This is Sectra and their reports. Look -
Linkoping, Sweden - June 4, 2021 - Sectra hereby announces corrections to the company's year-end report published on June 2, 2021 and nine-month interim report published on March 12, 2021.

You see?
'Yeah.'
And, uh ...
'Did you write about these reports?'
I can't remember.
'Why are you covering this now then?'
Well, the thing is ... there's nothing else. 'Oh.' I mean, I looked through my PR emails earlier. A few of them were a bit "dodgy" - if you know what I mean. 'Yeah.' Some were boring. Some were just plain weird. I had one about pregnant women. 'What's weird about that?' Well, I didn't understand the story, really. Are they investing in pregnant women? 'That would be weird.' We just don't know.
Anyway ...

Anything else? Er ... anything exciting, like?
Music? I've definitely chosen the best combination of songs for my demo. I've been listening to the rough recordings.
It might be too hot to walk to Richmond and back this week. Maybe I'll write the Mighty Soul lyric instead. Who knows?!
I changed one word in the third verse of Nothing last weekend. It's even better now. Just one word, man! 'Which word, Mikey?' That's private. 'Why?' I don't like people knowing about my rough drafts. 'Why?!' Because it might affect their enjoyment of the finished work. 'Okay.' Imagine Marco Pierre White bringing out an amazing meal to his customers, and then saying, "You should have tasted it ten minutes ago. Christ! You dodged a bullet there."
Laters!
