UK Bank Holiday weather and the Hay Festival, Confirmation, Hot Sweaty Priest

Monday, May 28th, 2007

 

So, it’s Bank Holiday in the UK with cold, wet weather – there’s a surprise!  If it’s any consolation to you, we too have colder and very, very wet weather as I write this.  The difference is that it is not a Bank Holiday weekend so I am at work.

Anti-Hay Festival?

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

For the first time, as I’m not actually there, I’m reading about the Hay Festival and there’s both negative and positive.  But I am amazed by the vitriol expounded by some bloggers. Read the rest of this entry »

Solution to cockroaches, Pirates, burgers and Hay (of course)

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

 

N was telling me last night about her successful cockroach killing secret weapon.  It seems that they have had a couple of them in her flat and it’s not just her apartment, but the whole building.  The landlady gave her some bait to put down, which she duly did and then she saw the cockroach come along, dance for a while around the bait and then scamper off!

Happy 20th Birthday to the Hay Festival

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

 

Well, today is the start of the 20th Hay Festival.  I looked on the website as I was thinking of S and suddenly, I really miss the Festival.  We won’t be going at all and this will be the first time in over 10 years that we won’t be there, in any role, punters, debenture holders or box office staff.

Exciting visitors to my sites; sushi with friends; hot, hot, hot; zanzare; Alitalia and Italian Customer Service!

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

 

Yesterday, as I was posting the post below and changing a few things (because WordPress does funny things to the post sometimes – I think it’s the font that causes the problem), I checked my visitors and found someone else reading my blog at the same time!  This is quite freaky.  Those of you who have blogs that actually have visitors all the time may not appreciate how exciting this can be.  I mean, we’re on the site exactly at the same time!

Cool air at last and other things

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

 

Finally, as the temperature had reached a whopping 32 degrees C, the air conditioning has been switched on!  Hurrah!

Too late for the visitor, drinking ‘culture’ and violence, sushi, don’t tell the foreigner.

There you go!  I missed my visitor from Oregon.  Checking my stats this morning – they didn’t visit last night.  Oh well, they will probably never know that the post below was really for them.

Visitors, appreciating classical music in spite of being uncomfortable, a vision in purple

Friday, May 18th, 2007

 

I’ve noticed that one of my regular visitors, recently, is from Oregon in the US.  It’s probably not soon enough, but welcome.  Nice to see you and, may I point out, that this entry is really for you as you are keep returning, probably looking for a new post.

Updating the blogs I like

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I thought it was about time that I looked at some of the blogs I like and add them to the list on the left.  But, maybe, a little introduction for them would be good.

Corrine’s visit, Dialogue in the Dark, Flamingos in a private garden, Danes, from camels to Britney Spears, handsome new boyfriend (I already have mine) and a couple of rants and clowney.

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

 

I wouldn’t call this post ‘news’, since that implies something amazing.  A round-up of events is probably a better description.  And it’s long because it includes a rant, so, sorry about that in advance.
