1. Anything good on eMusic lately? I think most of you have a good idea of what I like, or check my eMusic history... or last.fm. The data is out there!
2. Stuff to do! I seem to be spending too much time sitting at home on my own, and it's not good. I know I've been crazy busy with work, and hence not out much, also this health business has been ( Read more... )

First, crafts: I wrote a post ages ago offering to make Things for People. I've made a Japanese box for Ara, and now I've finished making mittens for Lou. I'm also making something else (it's a secret), and will then see what to make for Avalon, Tamsin and Caseé ( Read more... )

I hadn't particularly thought about it until now, but when I was watching the Breakfast News this morning, I realised that the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games is on this lunchtime. And as far as I can tell, there's going to be a screen here at Canary Wharf to watch it on, probably the one at Canada Square, so I'm going to go and see it. Hmm, ( Read more... )

Ages ago (January, it turns out), I posted about going for bellydancing classes, and some others were interested in that, too. elise and I went along to the classes at the Synergy Centre for a bit, but then I had to stop going because the day got changed and I couldn't make it. I'd sort of vaguely meant to go along to Pineapple instead, and last night, ( Read more... )

Not good today, despite lots and lots of sleep (10 hours in bed, at least 9 of them asleep)... frankly, everything seems rubbish at the moment, no joy left in anything.

I want to do at least one thing today that I like, and the choice seems to be between using up another guest pass at the gym, or going along to iKnit's weekly gathering near ( Read more... )

No I haven't forgotten about this... first, a couple of reports:

a) Synergy Centre: roodypoo69 and Matilda went, and Grace says it was a bit crap. However, they appear to be starting a new cycle "the week after Valentine's", which I make to be the 19th, so I'm definitely still up for checking it out.

b) Pineapple Dance Studios: tokensmile said that it wasn't that ( Read more... )

With reference to my previous post on the subject, it seems we have several options:

a) Synergy Centre, on Tuesdays.
So far, elise, libellum, and roodypoo69 said they were interested (and missyk8 from March or so). I might go along on 5th Feb (if I can squeeze it in) - roodypoo69 too!, and various people also liked the 19th Feb, so I'll probably make that the one I specifically invite ( Read more... )

missyk8 posted about belly dancing classes, which was something I was supposed to look into and didn't quite get around to.

The classes are held at the Synergy Centre, which is in Camberwell, SE5, on Tuesdays from 18:00 - 19:00. Anyone else interested?

[ETA:] Looks like at least two people are interested in going on 19 Feb (ironically, I'm busy earlier ( Read more... )

Actually, I have come up with a whole list of things I could do, several of them of a domestic variety. If anyone has Fun and wants to tell me about it, go ahead, it's quite likely I'll want to join in.

A few things that I can offer in return:
I'm thinking of hitting Camden Market, probably Saturday, preferably starting before noon. Does anyone ( Read more... )

I saw a poster for this somewhere:

Blenheim Palace Battle Proms
evening picnic concert
Saturday 28 July

Cannon and fireworks and music! I'm very tempted.

At some point, we should go to the Bavarian Beerhouse as well.

Don't mind me, just clearing out notes from my phone, in between doing the ironing!
