  • Hello, this is Appleblossom, and

    Hello, this is Appleblossom, and I don’t have a number. I was just calling to see if you are ok and stuff, but you are out working or playing or something. I’ll see you soon. Bye.

    Bora. We love him.

    “Well, fuck that.”
    A profound profanity, or profane profundity? (Nice one Arron.)

  • OK – all you politicians

    OK – all you politicians out there – I think I’ve decided how to cast my votes on June 7th here in Chichester West electoral division:
    County Council election: Liberal Democrat.
    Parliamentary election: spoilt paper.

    Politicians: you have eighteen days to change my mind.

  • My new issue of Wallpaper*

    My new issue of Wallpaper* arrived yesterday – in a plain wrapper. Naked breasts on the front cover! Shocking!

  • Class. Utter class. More evidence (as if it were needed) of Matt's excellence in the field of pocket cartoonists

  • Almost ready for a very

    Almost ready for a very long day ahead tomorrow – a 5am start for the Pashley Manor Gardens Spring Plant Fair. I’m the organiser for this event (have been doing them for eight years now), and so it’s mildly stressful – although not too stressful, as I’ve done it so many times that it is almost routine. The main factor is the weather – and the forecast for tomorrow is good. So, if lots of visitors come through the gate I should get to pay a few debts, which will come as a relief, although my neighbour is scheming a scheme to help me part with cash in order to repair the guttering on our building.
    You know, it seems to me that the more money you have, the more you have to spend, and you are never really any better off.

  • gah! forgot this week’s TPL

    gah! forgot this week’s TPL update: 8 points, taking me to 946 with just one week to go.
    Looks like the Nursery Arms XI (my TPL team) will have a home next year in Nico‘s league, so I’ll be able to bore you all year long with updates on my team’s performance.

  • Heard about 20 minutes of

    Heard about 20 minutes of the yet-to-be-released new album by Air – yup, it’s been added to my wishlist. It sounds excellent, and in the head-to-head battle with Zero7, I think it’ll be hard to choose.

  • Fruit Pastilles – great post-pub

    Fruit Pastilles – great post-pub fodder, but almost certainly a friend to tooth decay.

  • Beer tonight with (deep breath)

    Beer tonight with (deep breath) Tim W (happy 40th birthday mate!), Paul F, the ever-youthful Aris, his even-more-youthful wife Julie, Sacha, Ian, Tanya, Kearn, Arron, DA and DAGS. Seen in the distance were Steve C and Patrick, as well as briefest greetings with Al and Michelle. One of those nights when it was really relaxed and easy-going – I think we could do with more nights like that.
