It seems like everyday anyway.
Everyday
Month: November 2010
Wet November
Almost half way through November now and it has been wet. Not torrential type rain, but damp. The kind of damp that makes you cold just thinking about it.
It isn’t raining today but it feels damp and cold outside.
After Guy Fawkes November feels like a waiting room for Christmas. I don’t want to get into the whole pre-Christmas mayhem as yet, but it is almost as if there’s nothing else to do or look forward to except Christmas, then new year, then the slow journey into spring.
Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and start getting on with Christmas shopping and the like as there’s never enough time usually to get everything sorted out.
I’ll give it some thought anyway.
Looking forward to a Small Craft on a Milk Sea
Brian Eno’s new album Small Craft On A Milk Sea is meant to be out on Monday and I’m really looking forward to hearing it. I really enjoyed Another Day on Earth
I went looking for it on iTunes and found that is already available! I might have to give it a try.
Pompeii
Just a completely amazing place to visit.
Sorrento
A beautiful day and such blue water.
Clearing Stuff out all the time
I’m always amazed by how much ‘stuff’ I manage to collect and then have to clear out. I seem to be in a perpetual state of getting rid of stuff, and constantly wonder why I bought or acquired this, that, or the other.
I always try not to buy stuff when I think I don’t need it, but even so I’m always getting rid of things and wondering why I ended up with them in the first place!
How does that work then?
Vintage Car Rally
Today was the London to Brighton Vintage Car Rally. I love watching these ancient vehicles on their way to Brighton. Every year I decide to make a real effort to watch as much of the rally as I can and every year something gets in the way. Usually staying in bed longer.
Today I managed to see more of it than I have for the last 3 years which was great, but even so I didn’t see as much as I’d like to. Maybe next year.
Juno
I’ve watched this film a few times and really love it. I’ve watched it twice in the last month, and have found it so fresh and so much fun without preaching or trying to make a point.
It always comes over as a really honest and open story, full of hope and I love the characters in it too, especially the parents.
I don’t think I’d say it was one of my favourite films, but it is a really good film.
Happy Guy Fawkes Night
In the UK it is Guy Fawkes night when we let off fireworks and start bonfires. I like to remember that this is a celebration of a little be more than just fireworks.
I often like to watch V for Vendetta around Guy Fawkes. I know that some people really don’t like this film, but I really enjoy it.
Anyway. Whatever you do for Guy Fawkes and whatever the reason you remember it I hope you have a good and safe time this weekend.
I’m having a coffee (and Blancmange)
I was in the car listening to Blancmange and I knew I had to post something about them. Having checked their site I’m really pleased to find that they have a new album coming next year! Fantastic, I can’t wait.
