Although I am in the present day struggling to populate my 4000 word due-in-less-than-a-week essay with worthy sentences, I can but witstfully remember the days (all ages ending in 'een') when output wasn't the problem ( Read more... )

This morning my garden was like a wedding feast, a festival of white petals and pear blossoms, foreshadowing the bombardment of overripe-but-still-hard-as-granite pear fruits which entertain us throughout summer.

Today, I'm ill. My throat is swollen and my muscles ache and I could swear that my head has grown to three times its normal size and has been ambushe by a marching band of tiny gnomes who have set up camp in it somewhere between the frontal lobes.

Maxx in Leyton and I was delighted to find bras which actually fit me and are all pretty and everything (oh tk.maxx you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind). I feel reborn as a woman, although due to reasons of public decency i won't be posting pictures ( Read more... )

I had a lovely time at the gig. It was my first Cave-concert so I didn't have anything to compare it to, but I thought it was great. Nick Cave strutted his stuff and I danced on the slightly sticky floor and though I didn't know most of the songs (they were from the new album I believe which I haven't heard yet) I had a great night anyway, and ( Read more... )
