This is going to sound such a stupid line of thought, but anyway. I've been thinking about it on and off for a while, but seeing some photos on Facebook of P, B, and their parents, and suddenly seeing where the resemblances were (P looks like their Dad; B looks like their Mum; yet somehow P and B still very much look like brothers) prompted me to ( Read more... )

Oh, ow. I just re-watched Vincent van Gogh: Painted with Words. I think I cried slightly less this time because I knew what was coming, but it didn't make it any easier. If anything knowing how it ended and seeing the signs way off made it more gut-wrenching. And the impact his illness must have had on Theo ... *sigh* So tragic. It's really scary ( Read more... )

I've been snagging the audio from YouTube videos of Voces8, and it reminded me: One thing that Paul mentioned during one of the Take the Lead! sessions was about somebody having put up a dreadful video of them on their Facebook page, which was illegally recorded and he was quite annoyed by it. He said it's not that they're precious about copyright ( Read more... )

Wow, my sister makes herself really angry about the tiniest, most ridiculous things. It actually breaks my heart to see her in such distress, of her own making, not having a clue what to do about it ( Read more... )

Now that my contract at Dell Farm is up, somehow I seem to be discovering the desire to be outside exploring! 'Secret Britain' is a programme in which Matt Baker and Julie Bradbury visit a selection of well-kept secret beautiful areas. So far I have seen two programmes, and in both the presenters have climbed and abseiled, and in the second, Julia ( Read more... )
