All sorts of things have happened since my last post but the thing that left us speechless at the weekend was the eviction of Aiden from X Factor. Well, I say speechless, but M was shrieking at the telly in disgust.
So here we are in sunny Manchester.
I won't bore you with the trauma that is moving three people, a cat and their possessions over 100 miles using only a small van and our own blood sweat and tears, needless to say I am glad it is all over. In between moving furniture, carrying boxes, cleaning (and yet more cleaning) and going to work I have done a bit of reading, so I will try and write something later about David Nicholls 'One Day', which was much hyped but left me a bit cold. Am currently reading 'Notes from an Exhibition' by Patrick Gale.

ReplyDeletewe were equally disgusted/shocked about Aiden - when will wagner get the push? ah the british viewing public.....
I'm the one about three inches to the left of the photograph waving with a spotted hankie.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your new home!! Well done you for moving cats, people and baggage!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so out of the X-factor shenanigans - whoops!!
Oooh can't wait to see your take on One Day. It was a gift on Valentine's this year and I'm still struggling with reading it (or getting to like the characters...!!).
Take care

Well, you are here now. What I lack in helping to clean ability, I will make up for in painting, when the time comes, and in giving lifts to M. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I am reading Cormac McCarthy. Must remember to have an actual conversation about it.
Thanks everyone for stopping by, it's lovely to be back online and I have lots of new 'work winges' to write about, a big office is a whole different ball game:-) We are looking forward to making the most of urban living.
