My lady love, my dove

 I've had lunch today with a magician who wants us to do a mind-reading act together. This is something that could be really cool! I could be Magic Ian!

Which is a reference to a Supergran story (the books, not the TV series), in which I first learned about this particular kind of magic act. Although the title of this post is from a Roald Dahl story which was probably my second encounter with it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually performing the trick live, but I'm sure I could be great at it.

Anyway, this magician turned out to be a Hereford fan, and they happened to be playing Boston Utd today in a crucial game for the Pilgrims' chances of making the play-offs in the National League North, and Boston did indeed win, two-nil. So this is probably a sign that I should definitely do this magic act, although that might just be because I want to do it, and I'm seeing signs everywhere. We can perform at the promotion celebration party!
