  • There is no better way

    There is no better way to lift the spirits than to buy music:

  • Ho hum. But who knows

    Ho hum.
    But who knows what is around the corner?

  • You have to ask –

    You have to ask – Why?

  • Anyone who can receive it

    Anyone who can receive it and is up at that ungodly hour might like to tune in to BBC Southern Counties Radio tomorrow around 6.45am when regular Grayblog comment writer Charlie is being interviewed and having some of her music played.

  • It’s hot. I’m pondering. And

    It’s hot. I’m pondering. And there are thunderbugs everywhere. These things combined do not make for a good mood.

  • Taurus It’s easy to be

    Taurus

    It’s easy to be optimistic when you’re living in a fantasy world, Taurus! Anticipation builds today toward something that might not even be real. Try to get your head out of the clouds before you run across an unexpected obstacle. Wherever and whenever possible, stay grounded in the world of your senses. If you expect nothing, you won’t be disappointed, and you may even be pleasantly surprised. Take things as they are right now, not as you’d like them to be.

    Hmmm. Probably good advice. Best ignored, clearly.

  • I spent most of the

    I spent most of the afternoon helping dad to cut back a particularly rampant hedge and remove the rubbish. I can’t say that we picked the best day to do it, but it needed doing urgently. At the end of the task, we were both hot and covered in dust, filth and scratches.
    But I got my bag of cherries on the way home (as well as punnet of gorgeous nectarines), and when I got home I got straight into the bath (well, not straight away – obviously I filled it first). But the holiday urge is becoming irresistable.

  • I’m definitely going to buy

    I’m definitely going to buy a big bag of cherries in Waitrose on the way home tonight.
    And I’m definitely going on holiday, some time very soon after 18 August (have a plant fair then which I must be here for – as I organise it, it would be unseemly not to be present).
