Poorly Emma
Poor Emma has got a proper cold, she’s all snivelly but she’s still quite happy, bless her. Last night though, she woke up really grumpy and couldn’t get back to sleep so we brought her down with us, and as a special treat she watched a bit of telly. After a few minutes of Heroes Continue reading

Credit crunch? The real crisis is global hunger.
George monbiot writes: A food recession is under way. Biofuels are a crime against humanity, but – take it from a flesh eater – flesh eating is worse. While half the world wonders whether it will eat at all, I am pondering which of our endless choices we should take. Here the price of food Continue reading

The Assassination of Jesse James
At 160 minutes this film is way too long. The film looks great (perhaps a bit over the top, it looks like a music video sometimes) and Casey Affleck is really good as Robert Ford but this film is so boring had they made it about 80 minutes it probably would have been about right. Continue reading

Postie Pleasures
This is one of the streets I am treading this week. I really enjoy delivering down these streets, most of the houses are Victorian and apart from this row of terraces all of them are individual. The residents open their gardens each year and although most of them are quite tiny they are really imaginative Continue reading

Busy week
This week has been right busy, I’ve been working on the stairwell which I have had to reboard as the plaster was shot and the wall was damp from a leak from next door. Unfortunately, I’ve had to work quite a bit as well to pay for a new sparkly telly and Emma’s new carrier, Continue reading

Away From Her
The reason I am writing this review, instead of Shaun, is that amazingly I stayed awake until the end and Shaun dropped off! A devoted couple are forced to spend one month apart when the wife admits herself into a care home as she is suffering from Alzheimer’s. But when her husband eagerly returns to Continue reading

Snowy Sunday
It had been promised all week that we would have snow at the weekend and I didn’t believe it, but sure enough, as predicted, it started early on Sunday but sadly it didn’t last long. 🙁 It was a busy DIY weekend for me, the plaster on the stairs is rubbish so I spent the Continue reading

Mispronounced words
A post on Kottke is about words that you mispronounce on purpose and words that only you and your family may use for certain things. I have listed a few we use but I’m sure there’s more. What are yours? My words are: Compoota – computer Muskles – Muscles (from Popeye … I think) Squizzie Continue reading

This is one of my favourite tracks on the album, a fantastic anthemic song and brilliant live (Fatty, Al you”ll love this when you see them). I always have a girls blouse moment at the point when Guy sings Its looking like a Continue reading
