Watched Ted and the Delays boys on local TV last night on a ghost-hunt at some old manor house. A classic and a half. Today it has been drizzling in a typical English style. I sat in a cafe eating … Continue reading
Spent a few days up at my Dad’s place before he drove us down to Kent for my uncle’s surprise 50th birthday party. It was good enough fun, not the even of a lifetime or anything, but alright anyway. We … Continue reading
I spent a good six days at my mum’s house, sorting out my posessions to give to charity and burn, mainly. I am now weighed down mainly by CDs. Still, three days left until I jump into the vortex of … Continue reading

I had a massive day laid out this morning, but every event had to be cancelled one by one, leaving me with sweet diddly to do with myself. Tomorrow, then, I will have to try to pawn my poor old … Continue reading
A pretty fine weekend all in all, bearing in mind I had no money to spend in the first place. Besides the usual Blind Eye / Clown & Bard / Akropolis (in)action I managed to venture a few times into … Continue reading
