I had a sense that a gauntlet had been strategically dropped in front of my feet this morning. Not being one to leave metaphorical litter lying around I picked it up only for it to then dawn on me that I had accepted the virtual challenge - to prove that the deluded author's high praise was not misplaced.

The only guaranteed way to survive the challenge with one's head still attached was to run away. I managed to grab this "alternative" backstreet view of a typical seaside town panorama as I scarpered but I may have dropped my crown on the way.

Check out the deluded author's own excellent journal.
