Space, the final frontier
Did you know that at the moment on a clear night you can see the International Space Station streaking across the sky? I geekily found this really exciting, but doubted I’d manage to spot it, but I just did! If you go here to the Johnson Space Center facility then click on your area, and…

Wonder Year Meme
Been memed by Laura here to decide that if you could go back to live in any one year from your lifetime, which one would you choose? Hmm I’ve been mulling this one – and mulling, and mulling some more. Difficult one. My instinct is to choose 2008. It was the first year that I…

Life
Writing is a funny thing – we document our lives and our experiences, our emotions and sadnesses, sometimes our desires and sometimes even the fact we’ve cut our fringe or bought a new mug or made something good for tea. I’ve been writing a lot recently and it feels good to be doing so. I’ve…

THAT is what I get for being all chirpy-like in my last post. I’m now waiting in for a plumber, and just heard I didn’t get into the Athena Lab – can’t say it’s much of a shock as I knew the application was a bit last-minute – but the plumber, damn, he was unexpected.

Wishing and hoping
Merry Christmas wishes – may you all have a wonderful day! I hope you enjoy the good bits, quietly forget the awkward bits, and indulge in some good, old-fashioned peace, love and joy (and hopefully scalextrix).

‘aving it
Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell were rather wonderful the other night. It’s an odd pairing – she’s ethereal, nervy looking and projects girlish with her assorted instruments, while he sings dark and grumbling from a deliberately unlit position on stage. They work though – each distinctive voice setting the other off – and with a…

Mark Lanegan
I have tickets for Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. I’m busy – I haven’t been blogging – shame on me BUT did I tell you that I have tickets for MARK LANEGAN! He’s a singer I adore, even though if you told him face-to-face that you adored him, I suspect he might just spit in…
