Bloglines

Sorry to anyone on my Blogroll whose stats have suddenly dropped sharply.
I check Blogs frequently – depending on what I’m doing, it could be several times an hour. I used to do this by clicking down my Blogroll. However, the Internet speed here has suddenly dropped sharply, so I can’t do it anymore. So I [...]

Mr. Angry and me…

I find it difficult to get to sleep at night. In the day, I can sleep anywhere and at any time, and when I sleep it’s a proper, good, REM filled deep sleep, but at night I can lie awake for hours and when I finally drop off I find I’m waking up lots. This [...]

Shopping

I went shopping today with my mother. We decided to go to Coventry because where I live doesn’t really have that good a selection of shops, and I ended up spending half of my wages from last month, which is good
I also only cried once, when trying on jeans in New Look, which [...]

Today

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around.
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down.
If you’re all alone when [...]

Voyage

I’m off to the Doctor’s.

Mmmmm.
Wish me luck … I can’t understand a word that my Doctor says.

Problem

I’m beginning to get ABBA mania.
It’s the only thing I play in my car.
It’s the only music I play at night when I’m trying to sleep (when I’m not playing a podcast)
And I’m going to see Mamma Mia for the third time tomorrow.
Help?

:-)

As you may have read from the previous post, I dropped my camera earier today.
My parents and I agreed that there was no point in my buying another point-and-shoot as I was to be getting an SLR for Christmas.
Well, make that later this week. We found a cheap(ish) Canon EOS 400D on eBay, so they’ve [...]
