Shy and retiring

In which G.M. Norton hides behind Walt Disney.

I'm not feeling my usual self, chumrades. For a few weeks now, I've been hiding away from the world and getting lost in my own thoughts.

I get like this from time to time. There has been radio silence on the Twittering Device and very little activity on Instagram. Yet I can't completely hide. I still have the office job to turn up for, colleagues to converse with and a magazine to plan and develop. Despite feeling like this, I even stood in front of a few hundred people last week with a microphone in my hand for the Somme commemorations. 

We humans are quite strange, what? Perhaps that was my attempt to snap out of it.

I feel this quiet introspection is good for the soul though. No doubt, in a matter of days I'll be sauntering around causing much merriment and misdemeanour.

I chanced upon a few pictorials of Walt Disney recently. Like many I suspect, I've never set eyes on the man whose name takes a starring role in my children's DVD collection. 

Walt was quite the good looking fellow. A very natty dresser too, but then, he did live through the Hollywood golden age where the sartorial standard was high. 

It seems that Walt liked to hide too. Apparently, he could be painfully shy, quite different to the public persona that he liked to promote. 

I've just realised that Winnie the Pooh (through A.A. Milne) featured last week and this week is Walt Disney. I can see a pattern emerging.

More drivel next week! It will probably be dedicated to Dogtanian. One for all, and all for one...
