Had a wonderful weekend - as you see by the pictures I was in Somerset with friends - perfect weather, superb food, we went to Glastonbury and went out for dinner; a thoroughly lovely time.
Just sometimes, you have a weekend that makes you feel like you’ve been on a paradise island for two weeks; you come [...]

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 [...]

Drove down to Somerset to see dear friends S & K, at their lovely new house. And to go to a lecture! A perfect day; I left Hereford in a right grump and feeling very unsettled and by the time I got to Somerset I was chilled out, calm and happy.
The acid test for visiting friends [...]

… flowers have just been delivered! By a bloke who appeared from behind the bouquet to announce that he didn’t sing. Lovely! And a balloon. These from Mr P, who is languishing somewhere on Salisbury Plain (and how very plain it looks) getting soaked by muddy splashback from the enormous army vehicle he’s filming.
And I won [...]

I was clearing away some books that had accreted around the foot of my bed, and returning them to the bookcases in the spare bedroom, I came across an old, flower-covered hardbacked notebook which contains the diary of my time in Australia in 1991 - 92.
Off I went to bed to read it; what a [...]

I opened a groovy parcel from T yesterday, which was awaiting me on my return from work! A T-rex cookie cutter, a bronto cookie cutter and a heart cookie cutter. Fantastico! I aim to collect a language of cookie cutters so I can make gingerbread heiroglyphs and, literally, eat my words.
In fact, the best piece [...]

… when you have a fruit gum in your mouth and your gums ache and itch because you want to chew it so badly?
I wandered round the town yesterday, looking at tiny baby clothes and layettes, and miraculously, all my books about babies and baby names have jumped out of storage and back into the [...]

Ohh, what a lovely day we had. And Mouse got some truly amazing gifts. A JCB Jnr toolbench and tools, a minature Dyson hoover, a proper big boys bike and stabilisers, a farm set, playdoh, clothes, books and money. He ate his own weight in cake and rolled around on the floor with the dog. [...]

My younger brother, the med student, has just phoned to say that his shower has broken in the flat he rents from my parents in London. Apparently, he was really smelly when he got up and tried the shower only to find it non-op!
This illustrates the beauty of the life to come - only get [...]

So I wasn’t in work yesterday, which meant I did no blogging or emails or anything at all in my NetLife! Just too much stuff to do. Shopping-washing-running to the ecostore to get refills on my laundry soap and some organic tomatoes-cooking lunch-tea-going to the park with Mouse and my godson-cleaning the bathroom-tidying house-cooking supper [...]
