Still here, listeners - snorting and flapping the covers and fussing with tissues, whiling away the time and shouting at the radio when it all gets too controversial. Not that my shout would travel far… more of an etoliated squeak, really.
I have bought myself a bracelet off a friend’s site, to cheer myself up. She’s [...]

Sitting here in my pyjamas watching Brother Bear, and eating toast, drinking coffee, and typing; every 30 seconds or so I get importuned by my youngest to play him a riff on his Swannee Whistle, an infernal musical torture instrument from the Early Learning Centre.

As this is the middle of the night for me I should explain!
We have been to L & K’s for dinner; a massive chinese, with chocolate cheesecake for pud, a bottle of Sierra Ridge, and three episodes of Dirty Sanchez. I nearly died laughing.

What a scorcher. Several gay chaps of my acquaintence were in ecstasies over the bronzed torsos and leather shorts but I wasn’t convinced. Theennnn, I actually went to see it and it is a diamond-sharp, balletic, visually mesmerising film. The story has been done before of course; it’s an honour tale, but the twist is [...]
