Saw her twice.... once she was absolutely mind-blowingly brilliant, one of my all-time top concerts .... once she was average and a complete diva with a scowl that could kill.

Still waiting for my paint to turn up

Just downloaded 'Last Vegas'. I'll save that for the W/E. Looks a hoot.

Still waiting

day at St Budeaux shopping, changed all the busses round but I coped.

Had a nicely liquid lunch with a group of good people. We were deciding on the new wines we were going to stock.

House wines: Italian Pinot Grigio & Chilean Merlot.
Better (ie more expensive) wines: Spanish Rioja & French Sauvignon Blanc.

Cider remains Cornish Orchards Gold & Farmhouse.

Beer remains Tribute & St Austell 1913 stout.

Ansum.

Got flippin soaked going from the office to a meeting late this afternoon. Good job I don't really care what my hair looks like.

(Note to self: put little umbrella back into work bag. Or wear the coat with a hood.)

Just walked home bike still broken.
paint never arrived

The great flood from the road that services our hamlet has gone! The council sent out two blokes with bars and shovels and they've properly opened the drain which has been blocked for about three years! Thank god for David Cameron and his response to the flooding, I give him full credit.

I was told by a councillor that Cornwall Council have an informal policy of putting repairs off until they really need to be done. Then they cost a lot more to put right. Maybe in Cameron's Big Society we will be asked to go out and do the work ourselves.

I'll have you know I was interviewed on camera by .... Force's TV. How about that?!

There were more press there today than residents. It was on national BBC radio news earlier and was filmed by national BBC & ITV telly. Plus all sorts of other people with microphones & cameras.

just seen knecht on the telly in the background

Well, "gotta support our boys". Their PR is a big industry these days. A pity the NHS doesn't get the same press.
Britain's own Blackthorn Down.

I didn't see Knecht on the telly today.

Did get flippin soaked again, though. Yes, I had put the little umbrella back in my work bag. No, I didn't use it as it was far too windy. Then by the time I got somewhere where it wasn't too windy there was no point in getting anything else wet.

The Tyra Banks lookalike presenting Sky Sports News is giving me a stirring 'downstairs'.

Do you regret ordering from that particular supplier?

I get my paint from Artifolk, they are very prompt. Probably the wrong sort of paint though

yes I do.

I meet a nice man last night I have not seen for around 50 years. Mr Bunny was his name.

I may go to the pantomime on Sunday.

In other news, youngest daughter has lost her rediculously expensive bus pass. Again.
