Rents not so soaring

Well, I'm sure they're still rising, but the flat upstairs has possibly not been let yet, I think the sign must have just blown down. It's back again today.Man, hella busy at work still, but it's good. I'm trying to clear a backlog of outstanding tas...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Hot weekend

Had a good week, lots going on at work, including the aforementioned rowing trip and picnic meeting in Hythe, very nice, then also a Harry Potter themed barbecue at work (I'm still plodding through the audiobook, don't tell me how it ends), and a pub...

Hot weekend

Luncheon fiasco

Bah, forgot my lunch today, all I remembered was the fruit component. There are no shops within walking distance, and though there are vending machines here at work, one stole my money and failed to deliver my crisps the other day, so not sure about ...

Squirrel plants super walnut tree

A lovely gardening story, not that much squirrel content actually. Now onto the weekend review!We went to Rye, and it is nice. We mooched around some very very old buildings and shops and things, and had a look inside Henry James' house, and did all ...

Productivity ruined in our office

Everyone's doing this quiz - how many bands can you name?Not sure how many there are meant to be, we have 40 odd, but some of them are a bit flakey. U2 and the Sex Pistols, definitely, Bloc Party and RATT, not so sure... you could read any band's nam...

Mushroom not so magic

Up early this morning, on a quest for mushrooms in Sussex. And came back empty handed. Not sure what went wrong, the conditions were meant to have been perfect, but still we're hungry, just beans on toast for lunch. Got home just in time for the deli...

Progress

Got the scaffolder booked so as to make some progress on the new fireplace in the flat... might be all done in a few weeks, NICE! How's this for the gayest advert ever though? The scaffolding is sure to piss of our neighbours, if by any chance any of...

Weekend of travels

A great weekend in Folkestone though we seem to have been travelling around Kent for most of it. Raced down to go to Chambers Friday night, had a couple of pints in there and then shockingly left before closing, a bit tired... Saturday overslept unti...

London Fleadh

Fleadh launch was a nice opportunity for a free drink,though there was very little announce that hadn't already been leaked, only Christy Moore, but more will be announced soon.Very busy at work right now, though I've been hassled less since losing m...

Timothy's Wine Bar

Folkestone is in danger of becoming a culinary wasteland. Sure, it has the usual collection of OKish Chinese, Indian and Pasta / Pizza joints. But, with the exception of the cosy Kapetan Michales, you have to go to Sandgate or Hythe to get a half-d...

Oyster Card Fears

My Oyster card messed up for the first time today, I'm not sure staff really know what to do when this happens. First bus it worked fine, then on the next bus in Finsbury Park it gave me a red light. The driver didn't know what this meant, except tha...
