Spirit, so sorry my photos brought back painful memories. I will take them down if you would prefer.

Lovely photos.

Took me by surprise.

A friend of dh's and a talented trumpeter wrote the afternoon play on radio four this afternoon. I heard it was on but had a conflicting thing so couldn't listen to it.

You know you are getting old when you are introduced to the music of new bands by their mums... This Hertfordshire band are actually pretty good:

That is rather good. I don't know if the music is of the same quality but this is a lovely piece of video.

I felt a bit like that when I first visited Israel - for a place so steeped in human blood, history, religion, myth, politics and importance it's absolutely tiny.

OH was saying yesterday that he loves the fact Hebrew has a word - Tel - which means specifically "hill caused by subsequent towns / settlements being built on land, demolished, and then another one built".

Clearly a late April Fools. Everyone knows that Tel is short for Terry.

I use a smilie every now and again in an email at work. Usually if I'm saying something that it's going to go down like a lead balloon...

Poor form to quote oneself, but nevermind.

I think I end up using them because I have quite an expressive face. Or so I'm told! It means that whilst I can type out a sentence, it often misses the other signals I'd be giving in a conversation. Which also means I've got a tendency (which I try to rein in) to pepper things with exclamation marks!!!
Unless I'm clearly joking about something, or it's a non-work related message, a smiley face generally means that I know you won't like what I'm saying, but if I was saying it to your face I'd also probably be smiling at you to prove that whilst we don't agree that doesn't mean I don't like you as a person.

That reminds me, I have tomato sproutage! Much earlier than expected too. Still, should be fine to stay in the tray til moving happens.

Who you off to see this time? Off gallivanting non-stop!:D
Saw Stewart Francis has announced another tour. He's really funny live. I want to go, but the tour is next year & I get annoyed getting tickets so far in advance!

I know - it's almost like I've got a social life! Although tonight I went out on my own. And this is the end of any planned activities - need to knuckle down into being a hermit again
Tonight was (deleted)
By far the most controversial/ rude/ crude comic I've seen live, but I was expecting that. Most of it was very funny. A fair few comics seem to visit esp whilst warming up for their main tour - just wish more bands would.

It does remind me of the name Ix in the Hitchhikers Guide.
