dress in need of an outing!

Sunday, 29 October 2006 9:51 P GMT+01
OK, it might spoil the surprise for someone, some day, but I found one of my monsoon dresses on ebay tonight (for three figures less than was paid for it, ahem) and this is one that hasn't yet had an outing. Partly this is because the opportunit

Day For Disappointing Swedes

Sunday, 29 October 2006 6:52 P GMT+01
How sad. This week just gone saw the last of the DFDS ferries to Gothenburg, thus ending the direct sailings to Sweden. Norway is a very lovely place, but it's not the same.

something old...

Saturday, 28 October 2006 12:24 A GMT+01
Argh. I've been putting off and putting off this day. I'm giving in to the stupid distances I drive, and have retired my little sheep in favour of an environmentally unfriendly beastie that doesn't wake up until it's doing 80+, costs a fortune in bis

chicago play

Brr. Today is the Chicago marathon, and since I was awake at 5 am again, I got up and watched everyone past at the 2 mile mark. 37 degrees in old money, plus (or minus) the wind chill factor and it's trying to snow. There is a trememdous range o

I haven't time to write more at present, but I will, because you can submit for another fortnight, but I think it would be nice to be a part of the blogging britain from today.

are you overweight?

Thursday, 12 October 2006 10:43 P GMT+01
Purleease. Obesity is a major and growing problem in the western world. I don't think anyone would deny that. So probably to go out on the street and discuss with people what is obese might be a good idea. But don't tell me Brad Pitt is obese. a) I'm

winter is here

Thursday, 12 October 2006 9:43 P GMT+01
Yesterday it was officially winter. Winter in my world begins when you leave home for work in the dark and you leave work for home in the dark. Boo. But honestly, what is it about the first few weeks of driving in dark rush hour? Two crashes and four

£883m for You Tube

Tuesday, 10 October 2006 9:46 P GMT+01
Soooo, Google got YouTube faster than Yahoo got Facebook. They even posted a little video looking as smug as someone who just pocketed £400m saying thankyou very much we couldn't have done this without the community. Right! I'm guessing that th

When I grow up...

Saturday, 7 October 2006 3:52 P GMT+01
I have a dream. When I grow up, ok, when I get rich, which sadly is an awful lot less likely, since I don't even buy lottery tickets, I want to run a cafe. Maybe I won't call it a cafe. I certainly won't call it a hostel. I might just call it Home. I
