Had a very exciting weekend, when I was stung (twice) by a wasp. I know that this normally wouldn’t classify as exciting, but I’ve never been stung by a wasp before! My mum has anaphylaxis to wasp stings, and I’ve always been worried the same thing might happen to me.. It’s not meant to be […]

Great website – Animals on the Underground, basically making pictures of animals out of the tube map. Also, for those that are interested, getting a replacement mirror made by Knaresborough Glass, who seem like a really good organisation – they do made to measure with a 24hr turn-around, and were dead friendly on the phone. […]

Phew – got into work, couple of minutes to catch my breath before the day starts in earnest. Had a big shock last night – our bathroom mirror fell off the wall, and (sort of) shattered on the floor. It’s a substational affair – 60x80cm, so made quite a crash! Actually it had some amazingly […]

Shoulda said – also managed to catch Spidey 2 recently. It rocks. Review when I have a tick.

Quickie – found out that the next Star Wars film is titled Revenge of the Sith. It is my opinion that the titles of the three prequels have failed to inspire, but I haven’t really thought about coming up with anything better, so I guess I shouldn’t say too much. Anyway, May next year (2005) […]

Well, it’s official – I am now Dr Handley. Got my bit of paper on Friday morning, and got to dress up in a fancy gown and hat! I know it’s all a very serious matter and all that, but it is a bit silly – doffing hats left right and centre, processing up the […]

Very speedy update – our Ben got home from Cornwall with his Mum yesterday, and he’s really grown! Got himself 2 teeth too (although he already had 1 nearly out when he went down. Also had another thought about speeding, which was one further reason for a speed limit is, of course, environmental in that […]

Here I am, blogging on the train again. This time I’m on the way to my cousin Emma’s wedding, in Gt Misssenden (which is Aylesbury way – we just left Rickmansworth, where I believe PGL Head Office is, and are now at Chorleywood, home of Soul Survivor. LBC not far either). Anyway, the inspiration for […]

Must have beeen desperate – three entries. Two nice suprises yesterday – firstly Blockbuster Video have got a new rental deal, whereby you can rent 3 older videos or DVDs for 7 days for 5 pounds. I guess it’s in response to operations like Lovefilm (indeed, I understand that Tesco is to do something similar). […]

There seems to be a bit of an Emmanuelle Beart renaiscance going on at the moment. Saw in Blockbusters that Nelly and Mr Arnaud is being re-released, and her new film Nathalie was being plugged in today’s Metro. If you’ve only seen her in Mission Impossible then you may wonder what the big deal is […]
