    Oh, now I'd like to go to Edinburgh! Maybe I will book now for next year's festival...

    Wendz, that's fab news! So he's nearly a proper policeman?!

    Just had good news OH has passed his last written exam in his police training. He has got a week off with me next week then he has five weeks supervised on the beat so he is very excited.

    Great news Wendz!

    I'm just settling down to watch Nevermind the Buzzcocks - did you catch it last week with the guy from Blur? (Is it you who likes Blur?!)

    What did you think of the guy last night Cinny? I thought he was pretty good, but Rhod Gilbert has still been the best so far. I'm seeing Simon Amstell on Tuesday actually! Forgot about that. :p

    Hope your back feels better soon Poolie; whenever I get bad back my Dad tells me to walk cuz apparently that's what his physio tells him. Gentle exercise is better than sitting down apparently. But you probably already know that cuz you're like the Oracle! :o

    ETA - Congratulations to your OH Wendz! He must be chuffed! :T

    Oooo very good for your OH Wendz, that's exciting. We went to see the house this evening, and it was really great - it was massive. We might go a second time on Sunday. Eeek!
