Hurrah! I always thought IKEA were shooting themselves in the foot when they got rid of the iconic green snakes. The replacement pink/orange/blue fluffy cousins were hopeless. Now they have admitted the error of their ways and brought back the favour

Glad Midsommar!

Just back from the 'midsummer madness' at the Sage, where the little red wristband for singing with chamber choir was free entry to the building all night. Lots of folk (have now learnt to expect this!) in open rehearsal, which I found rather odd and

I know I have to do some research on the amount of blog culture in the UK, since I know more about the Swedish one, but this might be a good start. After listening to the whole of Broadcasting House to hear the bit about blogging, I've just been mu

I'm back in the UK (so posted the last of my notes from Bloggforum). Fascinating to look again at some blogs now I've met the people involved. From Stephanie's I followed a link where I read this posting, and it made me smile. Last week turned in
