These were taken today. We had a bit of sunshine and about 15 minutes of blue sky, so I had to get the camera out. I won't post many more photos. Perhaps just a few of the CD Room (when it's finished one day) and a few of Woodbury Down (the area we live in).

Oh and we also met our neighbours today.  Keith (an English guy) and Maria (his Spanish ( Read more... )

Well, hopefully not, but it is my last day in this office ( Read more... )

I forgot to say that it's been snowing on and off here today. Not enough for it to settle, but still, snow, in Bournemouth.

I got some incredibly bad news.  I'm so depressed I can hardly do anything.  I don't want to do anything.  I don't want to listen to music, I don't want to come to work, I don't want to breathe.

It feels as if it's all over.  The last remaning dream I had has been destroyed.  I don't see the point in going on anymore.

I'm trying to take things ( Read more... )

 Lunchtime Friday.  It's been such a long time.  I don't really know where to start.

We're OK.  David was in London on Wednesday.  He was supposed to have gone back on Thursday, but as a result of what happened, no trains were running to London.

We couldn't have experienced two more contrasting days on 6 & 7 July.  By now, the joy of the ( Read more... )

Well, not really, but it was a pretty good day.  I did so much at work today.  It is the 1st time in weeks that I actually managed to accomplish something.  This in spite of the fact that the major audit starts tomorrow.

I've been feeling quite good all day long really, even tonight.  I'm still listening to the Slowdive Anthology (Shine is ( Read more... )

Veteran BBC broadcaster John Peel has died at the age of 65, while on holiday in Peru.

Peel, whose radio career spanned 40 years, was on a working holiday in the resort of Cuzco with his wife Sheila when he suffered a heart attack.
He was BBC Radio 1's longest-serving DJ and in recent years had also ( Read more... )

In true Gemini style, I was and wasn’t looking forward to the new Bjork album. First of all, I love Vespertine and felt that Bjork would not be able to follow it up with a better album. In spite of a weaker second half, Vespertine is still my fave Bjork album. I find it deeply spiritual, a word that I don’t like using often. Secondly, I don’t ( Read more... )

In South Africa, today is the last day of winter and tomorrow is the first day of spring. I always think that the timing of the seasons in the UK is a bit odd. Officially, summer starts on 21 June and not 1 June. I think that summer starts on 1 June here because 1 June in SA is the start of winter. Isn't the northern hemisphere supposed to be ( Read more... )

You must park on the side of the road with even-numbered houses on even weeks of the year, and on the side with the odd-numbers on the odd weeks.
