Another quiet day
A non-too-early start. I placed an order at Asda, the supermarket. We had some stuff to eat. Christopher went out to buy some of the things we were short of. We packed for the trip tomorrow. We watched the disappointing game where Liverpool drew with Reading. As I think about it, it really *was* a quiet day. I think we're going off to have a board ( Read more... ) -
2010 - let's see how I go
Welcome back.
Last night, we went to sheaj34's place for a few snacks and drinks before the New Year. Before that, we watched "District 9", which I had bought earlier on. It's something of a return to Peter Jackson's earlier splatter movies, but is surprisingly watchable ( Read more... ) -
The songs of Jacques Brel

- 20:24 Pimm's. As bad for you today as it was in 1980. #
- 21:08 City Tandoori by London Bridge. Duck tikka masala. Mango lassi. How cool is that? #
- 21:43 @ graeme348. Nothing wrong with Pimm's in moderation. It's just a question of where moderation stops and excess starts. #
- 23:05 Back to Holland Park at the end of a long day and a long evening. Sleep ( Read more... )

- 08:41 Reader's Digest (or "that fascist rag" as my father used to call it) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to the FT. #
- 08:44 @ br3nda Forget white, pink, pale blue or pastel shades. Bright primary colours are the way to go, research suggests. But you knew that. #

- 08:26 London Bridge. Only a short distance from Paris in global terms, but there can be no comparison between the last two days and the next five. #
- 18:29 Well, that was an extraordinarily busy day and I doubt whether tomorrow will be any quieter. Let's make it a quiet evening, if possible. #
