Kate Bush announces date of new album.
I’m *wildly* excited by this, even though I know I’m setting myself up to be massively disappointed.

Beautifully Creepy

On my way into work this morning I drove past the graveyard at the end of the road, and wished I could stop to take a photograph. Seen through the railings, with the mist dense around the gravestones, lit brilliant orange by the early morning sunlight, it was just stunning.

The BA Fiasco
August 30, 2005 | Comments Off
I meant to make a comment about this a while ago, when I heard the news report that for the first time in twelve days, passengers on BA longhaul flights would have hot meals provided (I think this would have been around last Tuesday).
This got me thinking about the way things used to be done […]

Unexpected
August 30, 2005 | Comments Off
On many levels unexpected:
Unexpected that we set out on Sunday morning for a trip to Alton Towers (yes, on a Bank Holiday Weekend? File that one under “Why the fuck?”).
To provide some context, David had free tickets, and we took the view “If it’s hell on earth when we get there we won’t go […]

If It’s Saturday….

…. I must have been to Ikea.
Actually, it’s ages and ages since I have been to Ikea, but David’s keen to add some storage facilities to the bedroom, so we thought we’d brave it. It’s a weird thing to think that I used to go there so much and be so easily swayed by […]

Warcraft
August 27, 2005 | Comments Off
Back in March, I discussed how I’d been sucked into World of Warcraft alongside my beloved, and how I couldn’t stop playing it.
The prospect of playing quite a lot of it over the weekend seems as good a time as any to acknowledge that I’m still hooked. I can’t tell you how bizarre it […]

Bank Holiday
August 26, 2005 | Comments Off
It’s odd how I always wish that the August Bank Holiday wasn’t the last one of the year and then go into it with absolutely no plan to make the most of it.
For some reason David and I are both perpetually knackered at the moment, so we keep thinking about things to do at weekends, […]

Who dear? Me dear? Gay dear? No dear.

Watched the last programme from series two of The Catherine Tate Show last night, and as in previous weeks thought that it compared very favourably with the somewhat underwhelming Extras, the main narrative of which never lived up to the brilliant self-mockery of its star guests (Patrick Stewart in the last one - “All her […]

Five Years On
August 25, 2005 | Comments Off
Just an anniversary I think is worthy of note:
Today is the fifth anniversary of me buying my flat. It doesn’t seem that long, but I guess that’s at leats partly because I’ve barely been living in it for most of the last year….

I Need Ooh La La La La

Just a quick note to say that we’re loving the new Goldfrapp album in our house. We’re just listening to it over and over.
