wishing you a happy new?

Spotted this in Venice at New Year last year or maybe the year before...

"omg cbb !!!"

brilliant... brilliant... brilliant. Haven't watched one minute of this year's BB and then tonight I stumbled across Nikki and Chantelle embracing and forgiving each other for er ...whatever... and I am already hooked. Who cares about the rubbish weather when we have McCririck, Preston, Nadia, Coolio, Nikki and an alarmingly skinny Ulrika all trying to be natural and nice to each other. Fantastic. All we are missing is Jackie... yeah... Jackie.

strange encounter

Walking on Dartmoor the other day I met this lovely person - reminds me of a great aunt I once knew...

why oh why

...does it always rain on bank holiday weekends?

celebrities I'd like to see in the jungle...

After this week's performance on Desert Island Discs I nominate "Kirsty - do you know your pretty face is going to hell" Morrissey, for making me laugh so early in the morning... And my next suggestion is Nikki from the Big Brother House a couple of years back... and in the chef's corner we should, of course, have Delia (and failing her Clarissa Dickson Wright)....

halloween

Americans REALLY know how to do Halloween and put our puny attempts at trick-or-treating to shame... The owners of this house in Georgetown had to fight their way past a huge ghoul just to get into their house... and just look at all those pumpkins! All gone now I suppose... wonder what they do for Christmas...

plinth charming

my sister... my little sister... making doves of peace and love for the world on the fourth plinth this evening.

underneath waterloo station

Profound in so many ways...

flower showtime

Chelsea has the best hats but Tavistock has the best cakes. I spent more money at the Tavi show...

now, where did I leave the car?

somebody wordled obama's speech...

christmas presents from afar

Father Christmas-shaped Japanese rice crackers.... I can't quite bring myself to eat them...

difficult decisions

Am noodling around on here (ooooohhh slideshow is cool) while I watch the US election coverage on telly. Jon Sopel seems to have found a coffee called Obama-chino in Virginia. Can't decide whether to go to bed now and wake up early to hear the historic result... or do I stay up and see the first results... or do I go to bed and listen to it on the radio all night but then I won't get any sleep and I have an early start at work tomorrow... Maybe I should run a poll? This is a Big Night.
