Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Here's what we did in France: ate shellfish (oysters = yum, raw mussels = yuk), visited Pezenas (that's where the door knocker is from), lazed by the pool, cycled by the water, and cooked giant, elaborate delicious meals. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, October 29, 2003. Seeing as today is turning into a right old bitch-fest for me, other things I am annoyed about include:. Lack of sleep. I got up at 6.30, and I’m really not happy about it. Flickering light above my desk. Like Chinese Water Torture, but with lights. Sort of. When did half-term start to occur every six weeks? I do not want to eat my soup with a teaspoon. Check back in a couple of hours, I'll probably have found some new things to complain about by then. Friday, October 24, 2003.

Tuesday, July 22, 2003. Why do authors always think they know best? Just cos you’re published doesn’t mean you’re any good. Some absolutely atrocious books make it to print; some of them reach the bestseller lists. Being published is, sadly, no mark of quality. Spelled out for them. Um, ok. I’ll put in the italics, and you can reap the scathing reviews, dude. Why don’t I lie down, so you can walk all over me more easily? Is it based on whom you know? I want her life: www.absolutely-vile.com. Last night I...

Wednesday, November 26, 2003. Band names and bands they suit. Bolus – crappy heavy metal/rock band like Primus, and all those inexplicably popular bands like Good Charlotte and Blink-182. Don’t be so ridiculous. Lord Huggington – this would be a faux-pompous Guided by Voices/Buff Medways affair, with all band members wearing red jackets with epaulets and brass buttons. Despite looking faintly silly, they would blow your socks off with the power and skill of their Rock. Friday, November 14, 2003. For some...

Monday, June 30, 2003. Do you know that it’s still possible to get a vodka and tonic in London for £1.40? I kid you not: this place. Scroll past the vampires…), where the Kray twins used to ‘socialise’, serves them to swing-dancing Bogart clones and homesick Poles. And if that link didn’t work I am giving up. I did everything right! I did the href bollocks and the jazz and everything… If it didn't work it's the spaces or lack of spaces that are tripping me up. Stupid spaces. 8217; (Swear to God.); an...

Friday, December 19, 2003. But who the hell cares, cuz I just got promoted! Aw yeah. A nice pay rise, too, which I will celebrate by taking my boy for baby back ribs and beer. Tuesday, December 16, 2003. I realised today that I’ve been lying to you all these months. The bit at the top of my blog says that it’s about “diary, books, recipes, crafting on the cheap”. Have I given you any recipes? One Back in June or something.) Have I provided a single useful piece of crafting advice?

Tuesday, January 27, 2004. I am back from the edge. I was nearly vanquished by my lunch, but victory is mine. Went to Chequers, the ace sandwich bar off the Strand, to get a tuna nicoise roll. I got it on olive bread, and when I unwrapped it back at the office and realised it was bigger than my head, my shoulders sagged in defeat. But! Today I want to shop. And here’s what I want to buy:. A wrap (ballet) cardigan. Cords in dark red, brown or navy. Metallic ballet flats and satin/metallic tap shoes. You c...

Thursday, February 26, 2004. What a fucking con. I saw the full-page ad in the Evening Standard, saying that if you are over 25 and work over 30 hours a week you may be eligible for tax credits. Could it be true? Could the government be offering money for nothing? And all you have to do is apply! 8216;You can only apply if you earn under £11,000 a year.’. 8216;What, if you work 30 hours a week and earn eleven grand? 8216;Yes.’. Also: Rough Trade Covent Garden employ some right wankers, let me tell you...

Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Things I am watching on eBay. Black cat brooches, to be pinned to orange dress for Halloween Actionettes gig. Black spider brooches, as above, but they're too scary and I know I'd keep seeing them on my dress and freaking out. Vintage biscuit tins and canisters. Plan is to buy some and bake amazing cookies, and give these as homemade Christmas gifts in the tins. Usual lineup of 70s vintage dresses with puffy sleeves, patterned yokes and A-line skirts. Sigh.
