Not that much to report

Well, I guess there isn't that much happening up here but as I don't get to tell you that when in the pub I thought I may as well post it; There's not much happening up here.

Although I did have a birthday- yay! Thanks for remembering, I was very touched, especially as I have no idea when anyone's birthday is anymore. I do remember that Rose and Hannahs' birthdays are very close together...not much use except to know that I'll be offending two people in one week some time next year. I got lotsa presents including a ticket to a 'Be Good Tanyas' gig in November- Very cool. Look them up (http://www.begoodtanyas.com/home.html) and come too if you want (18th Nov).

I went to see The Merchant of Venice. I forgot to crib up on it and read the book first- and it was great! I had to run out of the ladies in the interval cos a girl was asking her friend (who had 'done' it at A level) who the hell Antonio was anyway and what happened next. I didn't even know if it was a tragedy or not, for all I knew it could have gone either way- everyone married or everyone dead (I shan't spoil it for you). It was like, well cool! Plus it made me realise that the way they all gobbled away at the text like they were Ice Cube (or at least Vanilla Ice), in the Leo version of Romeo and Juliet was a load of "bulls pizzles" (Midsummers Night Dream, Act I, Scene 3).

Hmm, what else...


It's Autmumn! Too obvious? Well, here's a photo of Autumn in Scotland if any of you are curious. It's pretty wet, very leafy, but smells great. As I didn't see Autumn last year I am realising how much I like it!

Umm... Joe put up a shelf in the spare room...

as I say, not a lot happening up here!
