Revolutionary Rants

It gets worse… No update since May. Well, the current evil-coalition government has often left me shouting, but mostly these days I shout in the direction of Chicken and he nods and agrees as all good Chickens do and then I feel too depressed to rant about it. How can the Tories be back in? Argh, see what I mean; depressing.

In other news; the sitting room is nearly done at last. Carpeted today, new lights up (not on a the bulb decided to blow two seconds in – thanks John Lewis!), new rocking chair un-flat-packed and sealed with Ferris’ approval as he sat on it almost straight away.

We’ve just had a short break in Bristol. We had hoped to see the balloon fiesta, but the wind prevented the flight on Thursday night and it was a bit too chav-chic for us to remain next to the 21 Black Jack stall for the further two hours that faced us for the ‘night glow’. We visited Bath, which was lovely, and shopped in Bristol.

Both very busy then, but still not on the blog front!

Too depressed to blog… A sad, sad day. The only good point is that it will surely be over by October…

Read the message at the end, folks, and please think about it before you put your ‘X’ in the blue box…

He said hello (“hello my dear!”) to me and my Mam once…

I have nothing much to report, as before! Had a lovely birthday, and a horrid cold straight after, both very busy. Recording things on my new Humax box, now have gooseberries and rhubarb on the allotment. Reading lots of Wallander, the new Adrian Mole and occasional dabbles with history. I now realise even very diligent students are not really that busy…

Merry Christmas, Solstice or whatever you may celebarate everyone!

Very grateful here this year as Mr Chicken survived a motorway pile-up on his way to work yesterday and that’s the best present out there, I reckon.

Have a lovely day comrades!

Already December and the end of the year fast approaching. Crikey. Chicken has started his new job, my job has moved in to the big seat-of-local-government-type-building and we’re both very busy. Christmas is nearly here and I still have a few gifts to sort out, but things are mostly done and dusted.

We survived the storms, although Ferris and I were quite scared at some points.

Morrissey was surpingly great at the Alley Palley. He made it, alive, and didn’t storm off stage ‘cos someone threw a cup at him. He actually did a whole concert, complete with How Soon Is Now? and it was bloody brilliant. I also got to meet Steve Pemberton or The League of Gentlemen who I thanked for two of my favourite comedies ever (The League and Psychoville).

My brother also saw Russell Brand in the toilets…

We stayed the night after in Brizzel with my younger brother and had a nice evening of Trivial Pursuit and Guess the Intro.

Now we’re home and it is distinctly wintery today. I am debating whether or not to make the Christmas cake or just be plain lazy…

No posts for October. Oh dear. I really must get round to deleting this blog, but I hang back from it. I have had it – on-and-off due to a hard drive wipe – since 2003. Nearly as long as I have had Chicken. Gulp.

Well, Paris was lovely. Did loads of tourist things and finally went to Versailles and Ste-Chappell, which was stunningstunningstunning.

Chicken has a new job – hooray for him! He is hoping to start at the end of this month.

This Thursday I am – all being well with his lungs – going to see Morrissey in London. Exciting stuff. I have my finger’s crossed for How Soon is Now? and, of course, There is a Light That Never Goes Out…

So, if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us………. This blog will be like a little memorial to me.

What a hideous thought…
