Yesterday morning (while Karen and Mike were getting Simon from the airport) Cary, Mark and I sat in the square of L’isle Sur Le Sorgues at the, appropriately named, Cafe De France and watched the market bustling around us.
The woman at the flower stall was making hand-tied bouquets of the most incredible flowers, [...]
I have pictures from The Features gig, but somehow my aol account won’t recieve them when I send them, so you’ll have to wait till I get back to work in a week.
EDIT! Here are a few of the photos I took on my phone… there were others but they didn’t really come [...]
I’m sorry. I’ve been remiss. Just busy; not neglecting you on purpose.
Anyway. Yesterday I was Famous for 3 words courtesy of the lovely Andrew Collins who named-dropped me in The Guardian in his radio diary.
I’ve also missed out on talking about a few gigs that I’ve been to.
Monday was a [...]
We’ve Exchanged Contracts on the flat!!!!!
We complete on Friday 11th June, and move in over that weekend.
HOORAY!!!
The next question will be… so who wants to come to the Moving Party? Since we’re only moving 350ft through the garden, we’re not getting removal peoples, just a load of mates who are happy to carry the [...]
Genius links of the day…
Bunnies do The Shining in 30 seconds.
And then, even better, bunnies do The Exorcist.
Enjoy.
I glanced down at the table as I walked past it… the table with the newspapers on it.
The front page of The Daily Mirror has got pictures of a massive robbery that the police have foiled… with The Miror’s snappers there for the ride.
I idly flicked through to see the pictures on “pages 2, 3, [...]
I’m spending the morning trying to make a large dent in that stack of cds that are pictured a few posts down…
So far there’s been a couple of dissappointments (new Paul Weller Single and a lot of bland rock) but some real delights.
Carli Bruni, yes that French supermodel, has done a few songs in her [...]
Britain gets hot… everyone revels, then gets semi-naked, then moans about the heat.
Saturday morning I went to see the Rumseys in Gypsy Hill, where I lived for three months when I came back from Nashville last year. It was so good to see them, specially these darlings:
Sunday was equally delightful. Karen and I [...]
I love the phone in my camera.
I love it because I can show you some of the things that I see out of the corner of my eye, and that make me smile. Like this:
This heavily-rusted, tiny, child’s tricycle chained to a lampost with an industrial sized padlock.
Opposite the Wandsworth Dump.
The other thing I’m [...]
A hard day at work, followed by an easy journey home; a great time cooking, and a delicious result (hammered steaks and steamed vegetables, with a red wine and pepper sauce I made from scratch); conversation with my sister and a couple of episodes of Dawson’s Creek on DVD; IMs with Annie and my blog [...]
I need your help. All of you: Even the ones who don’t normally comment.
As far as I can see, the titles of these blog entries – that’s the bits in bold at the top of each entry – and the blue date bars become italicised once they are not the top entry.
But as far [...]
I’ve had a cold. I felt like rubbish for a good few days.
I’ve been busy.
I’ve been learning how to punctuate properly; it’s fascinating. I read her collection of articles, Making The Cat Laugh, years ago and can’t believe it took me so long to get around to buying this one. Well worth a [...]
I had a long and lovely chat with Sarah last night. We talked of growing bumps, lunch in France, children being children being difficult, nearly finished books, missing each other, and trips to come.
It feels like forever since I was there last, yet I can still smell the wood soap, the cooking and the [...]
went to The Bush Hall for Polly Paulusma.
she’s amazing. A voice reminiscent of Norah Jones with a hint of the Beth Orton, but a marvellous songwriter to boot. She held the room in awed silence.
and the ligting was stunning:
Wow! The moon looked awsome tonight. There was a really clear partial lunar eclipse in the western sky.
Having been told about it by three friends (online and by text) Cath and I put coats on over our pyjamas and went into the communal gardens at the back of the flat to try and [...]
don’t you just hate it when you get nothing done in a day?
I was at work today for 9 hours and accomplished zilch. I listened to some of the stack of CDs my desk was groaning under, but it still felt like getting nowhere.
humph.
Some nice music though!
As sunday lunches go it was a little different than normal.
My lovely friend Dave took me out for lunch. In France.
Dave co-owns this gorgeous piece of Light Aviation Equipment with his friend and flys most weekends, so we popped over the channel to Le Touquet for some lunch and a walk along the beach.
A [...]
