I decided not to go. That’s still probably the right decision, but I would like to be there now. For five days, you get to like in a ’scrumpied’ man’s idea of a perfect world. Music, love, idealism, air, mud, music, cider, sunshine, music and mud.
I raise a metaphorical paper cup of hot spiced Burrow Hill cider, with a shot of cider brandy, to those of you inhabiting the hallowed fields. Have the time of your lives.

I make it about 130 days until our wedding, which means we’d better get a move on with choosing invitations, flowers and cakes. We’ve ordered more sample invitations, just hoping now they won’t take a month to arrive then turn out to be rubbish! I’ve always said, none of this is particularly difficult or stressful, but time does have a habit of creeping up on you…
Speaking of which, in one week’s time I’ll be the manager of the department. I was shown the invoice in/out spreadsheet, the various quirks for the difficult clients and all the myriad things I’ll have to remember and be in control of, as well as doing at least half of the things I’ve always done (at least for a while). I can’t say I’m relishing the thought of my first month.

A bit of Googling reveals that it’s one of a series, with a no-doubt scatterbrained, death-of-feminism, punchable victim of a central character (though almost certainly with a heart of gold and looking for the right man): the ‘Shopaholic’ to which the title refers.
She appears in the other cry-until-you-laugh books: “Shopaholic Ties The Knot”, “Shopaholic and Baby” and “Shopaholic’s Anal Rape Fantasy”.

or ‘books for birds’. It’s a pretty woeful genre, full of cliché-ridden prose, stereotyped characters, predictable plots and low-rent laughs. Books for people who can’t read, some might say. But the title of the book the bint opposite me is reading really needs some sort of prize: “Shopaholic Abroad”.
Kill. Me. Now

…but if the new iPhone is any good, and subsidised as promised, I might be interested.

Time for a new look. What do you think?
I might change it again in a couple of days. There’s another one I like too.

People who block seats with bags, when there are no others available, should be charged double. People who ask me to move my bag when there are plenty of other seats should be flogged.
I think that’s fair.
The council people want to come round and fix the lock on the balcony door. I arranged it for 8am on Friday so I can go to work.
Then I got a phone call: Can they come at 8.30am instead? Thing is, the traffic is bad at that time in the morning.
Leaving aside the fact that the traffic is much worse at 8.30 than it is at 8.00, why don’t they just leave a bit earlier?

Fantastic show at the Brighton Dome last night, but at least half empty and the circle was closed.
Yet, the Pigeon Detectives completely sold out.
It’s a funny old world.
