I make up less than a quarter(originally uploaded by grange85) So Everything’s Swirling gets a long overdue overhaul – and a new URL (feel free to update your bookmarks, blogrolls and RSS feeds – although the old ones will probably keep working) Hazel’s blog Let’s Fold Scarves has also had a refit and is whipping [...]
Now that would have been a better last day at school… The music lessons when I was at school involved sitting in a portakabin “playing” tiny cardboard keyboards. We’d only get the opportunity of playing one of the five real home-made two octave keyboards if we showed a proficiency on the cardboard ones…I also remember [...]
Sonic Youth @ Northsix, Brooklyn NYC(originally uploaded by Geeeeeeeeeenta) I reached 43 today. When I hit 40 I rattled off some words that convinced me that I’m not too old really…pointing out the rock stars that are older than me and (surprise, surprise) they’re all still older than me – and if Kim Gordon can [...]
Our first Wii injury(originally uploaded by grange85) Almost a month in coming but today saw our first Wii related injury when Adam got a bonk on the bonce playing Wii Tennis with a school friend. For his pains he received this classic comedy bump.

Splash Originally uploaded by grange85. We got back on Saturday after a week in Brittany/Normandy in the North of France – we had smashing weather and a thoroughly relaxing week of paddling, touristing and pique-nique-ing (Baguette et Fromage hmmm). (stacks more photos on Flickr) On our return… There were NO CDs or records waiting on [...]
Adam’s been away visiting my sister and her family for a couple of days – you’d have thought that this would be a relief but the house is so empty and quiet without him. Hazel and I took the advantage of this “freedom” to go and catch a couple of films at the Riverside last [...]
I’m an atheist – I was brought up as a catholic but as soon as I was able to think for myself (and was brave enough to tell my mum!) I chucked it all in – it made no sense at all to me. So I became a teenager and outed myself as a non-believer [...]
