  • Humphrey

    When my father came down last weekend he brought down Humphrey for me. Humphrey’s my huge cuddly dog that my mother made for me when I was tiny. He’s always been around and always lived on my bed (while there was space for him, anyway). Now he’s got his place back – look!

  • Semisonic songs

    Over the past few days I’ve been taking refuge in some CDs I bought to keep me happy. I’m just listening to one of them now – Semisonic’s Feeling Strangely Fine. The music’s wonderful and bouncy, but if you actually listen to the lyrics it’s saying something else completely… There’s a site that has lyrics for the album here. Have a read – there’s some good stuff in there if you’re feeling depressed.

    The other Semisonic albums are generally happier, which is nice 🙂

  • Scary MSN ad…

    So here I was innocently chatting to Mark on MSN, but what should I notice on the MSN window?

    Just at the bottom, on the left. No, it’s not Photoshopped. Yes, it is scary.

    So – parents need to be wary of Microsoft as well as lecherous old men on the Internet. Won’t somebody think of the children?

  • Day Skipper

    I spent last week sailing with Baz and Ben and a couple of other people from TSYT. Most of the week was spent bumming around the Solent, but we did go for a great sail around the island (Isle of Wight) on Tuesday. Quick picture of the Needles, west of the IOW…

    The excuse for all this was a Day Skipper practical course – I’m now the proud owner of a Day Skipper certificate as well as a Competent Crew certificate. Sadly still quite crap at sailing though.
