Question o' the day: what is the grammatically correct plural of c.v.? Do I go for curriculum vitae? Or some odd variation on c.v. with an added s? One way looks like an american pharmacy chain, the other rings all of my WRRRRONG! alarm bells ( Read more... )

HELLO!

Ok, I have been a busy busy bee in the past week. It has included getting in touch with my bestest best friend from my past on Facebook (apparently she'd been there ages and trying to reach me, who knew?), visiting the wonderful bloomeenee in Northumberland and plotting to live at Alnwick Castle, replacing our washing machine (really, this is ( Read more... )

Had a very busy weekend with thejasper, beaniedad and family, and The Mup.

Had a lovely and strange weekend, fortified by the presence of the puddingcat, who was without a doubt both the best dressed and the most beautiful woman at Riff's on Friday night. Empty Headed Heroes rocked the scene, with Paul demonstrating that he is some sort of harmonica playing demon ( Read more... )

Life is sometimes complicated, don't you think? Concrete trucks, broken driveways, possible broken waste pipes and undoing slip 1 knit two togetherpass slipped stitch over are not things which make one happy. Wine tasting (aglalalalaa), Anthony Gormley's box of light, swirly sculptures, lovely dinner and walking along the thames are marvellous ( Read more... )

A very productive weekend. We DID stuff, we cleaned STUFF, we even THREW STUFF AWAY ( Read more... )
