The sun is shining without a cloud in the sky, except for the heavy fog that covers the beach and the sea. Beautiful and bizarre. I’m in the office, wishing I was outside, but today’s alright because I get to … Continue reading
Bank holiday weekend nearly over and masses of (creative) work done for a change. All to avoid going out into the sun, I suppose. Don’t get me wrong, big fan of the summer and all that, just entirely unprepared for … Continue reading
Day off yesterday so went to the Pavillion with the Slovaks to have a look around. Very nice inside, decorated to a degree that heads past ludicrous and stops somewhere in the region of a building designed by a 14-year-old … Continue reading

I caught some fraudster guy the other day. He didn’t know how to pronounce his own name. Which was “Mr Jones.” To celebrate I’ve got a big bottle of port and plan to get drunk in a sophisticated manner tonight. … Continue reading
Had a nice long weekend away up in the old country (Worcestershire) as it was my Mum’s 50th birthday and she was having a bit of a party. Got the megabus up on Saturday. It was a pound to London … Continue reading
