I have some extremely bizarre dreams, most nights, and I remember a lot of them for a short while. But how about this for picky? I am in a street, location filming for something (unknown) and a well known English current affairs presenter comes up to me and asks me if I get a break at all, to go and have a drink with them in the local hostelerie.

Well here I am again, back from heat wave Madrid, (100 degrees, dry) to heat wave London (high 80's humid to hell) and I know which I prefer - and I hate heat ( Read more... )

Hi - I'm sorry I cannot find the blinkin' picture I was after. The lady I am thinking of wore a red corset type bodice and a skirt with an apron, over a shift. This will be perfectly O.K. for you - the skirt and top can be different colours.

Wow, the scale of everything just blew my mind! (My husband enjoyed it ( Read more... )

Can anyone tell me why I keep buying linen? I have just spent an hour ironing two linen shirts and I HATE ironing. I have a steam generator iron, iron it damp and all the rest. Yet my mouth keeps saying, "OOh, linen! Yes, I'll take that." while my mind is going "Noooo!! Think of the ironing!" And I am planning to buy some more linen at a re- ( Read more... )

As I am just about to file the burnouse diagram, I thought I better check that everyone who wanted it got the copy I posted a while ago. If not please let me know and I will re-post ( Read more... )

While my husband was busy hanging a basket I planted with some of the stuff I got at the Garden Centre, I heard some odd noises at the top floor window. When we looked up, there was a London pigeon battering away inside the window. He must havew squeezed in somehow through the minute gap at the top.
