I’ve just heard this song on the radio. Brits will recognise it as the music from a VW Beetle Advert. The song is called Strange & Beautiful and is by Matt Hales (lead singer of the 45s) going under the name of Aqualung.

It fits so many H/D stories, IP and The Trilogy amongst them.

I have a nice new Nokia 8310! It is soooo tiny and lovely and needs a name. I will probably call it 'Harry'. Now all I need is to sort out how to use it and get software to link it to my Palm etc ( Read more... )

Gyms and thingsI had my assessment at the gym yesterday. It was a truly remarkable hour if one can link ‘gym’ with ‘remarkable’. The lady who talked to me knew exactly the level to pitch the conversation at and she did wonders for my self-confidence. Now I just need to put into practice what she preached. There is a local walking group in my area, ( Read more... )

It was Ina’s birthday on 8th July and I never managed to write anything for her at the time.

I had to call mum to ask if he was home -- her response was that he wasn’t and that she was worried about him. My brother Raymond (who was off school that day) was out on his bike looking for him. Dad died on ( Read more... )

When I was pointed in the direction of Potterstinks by a post on David’s journal, I found some further links to other journals but didn’t realise there was a whole role-playing world out at Nocturne Alley !

Thanks very much Jen for pointing me in the right direction and telling me all about it ( Read more... )

Just got to work from my visit to the doctor’s. First the nurse kindly told me I’d put on weight, but my blood pressure wasn’t quite as high as it had been. My blood sugar was 11.4, which is about normal for that time in the morning ( Read more... )

First line thing...

Hmmm, I'm not sure any of my first lines count much.

Coming of Age: "I'm leaving."
I like this one -- straight to the point.
