Good bath last night

Harry enjoyed his bath last night I think, kept him in there for ages, supporting his head and letting him float a bit. He likes the bath, but then gets a bit stressed when it's time to get out and get dried.Watched more Glastonbury yesterday, looked...

Maybe I'll make it to the NEXT Frog and Frigate reunion...

Started to panic about the night out down The Frog. I would be leaving Clare and Harry for a long time, and be too far away from them and not able to get back in a hurry. Thought just staying in Fareham would be the better option and I'd be home earl...

There's always a huge death rumour on Glastonbury weekend

Every year at Glastonbury there is a rumour going round that a major celebrity has died! Generally it's Cliff Richard though!So where were you when you heard Michael Jackson had died? I can tell you I was RIGHT HERE, in this room, looking at my phone...

Foster Gearing's virtual reality zoom around our Creative Quarter

Foster Gearing's video of it's vision for our very own Creative Quarter... hmm is there any mileage in pretending the FG on their video really stands for Folkestone Gerald?The Old High Street is much like that already isn't it? Has about that many pe...

Michael Howard's expenses

So should we be angry about this sort of behaviour, or pleased that Mr Howard is spending money in the area (in Hythe rather than Folkestone, but still)? Have we been cheated more than we've benefitted? I can't work it out? Remember to vote tomorrow ...

Been eating very little else for weeks now...

Nice day in Folkestone

Went for a walk down to the beach and up through the town. Everything's looking GREAT down by the beachy bits, loads of people about, even live entertainment outside the pubs down in the harbour. Here's Clare by the beach:See a similar view from 1920...

Margaret Clarke stamps

Clare's great great aunt Margaret Clarke (nee Crilley) has painted a stamp, we ordered some and they just arrived today:It was issued for St Patrick's day and we only just found out when a relative was visiting from Ireland.Margaret Clarke is Clare's...

Due date plus three

Still nothing to report. Clare is out living the life of riley while I'm slaving over a hot keyboard here. Weather has turned bad, heavy rain most of the day, like the bad weather we have yesterday morning. I must have something more interesting to t...

Beating the system

Hmm I'm sure I posted on here somewhere a "note to self" type thing telling me not to buy the next Raymond Feist book, as I think they had been getting worse. Can't find it, but I didn't buy the book anyway. See me, saving money. Went to the library ...

@pauly #m12603 woo hoo cannot wait to see the walls sweating Al passing out and everyone on tables.

Nice knowing you all

It's a lovely sunny bank holiday, so it would be foolish for me to stay inside all day on the computer. So we're off out! To a HUGE inside with no daylight in at all! Yes IKEA, North of the river and everything! IKEA traditionally leads to arguments,...

May The Fourth Wall Be With You - quiz!

Double quiz action at Chambers this weekend, regular monthly quiz on the Sunday with a �100 prize and then another to raise money for the Fourth Wall Theatre group on the Monday. Don't think I can make the Sunday one but maybe see you at this one...I...

The Whole World Cafe closed because...

Rates (or was it rent) had just gone up, too much competition and not enough passing trade (ie none). So they've packed it in! This from a friend, I have not spoken directly. I understand (well read on Twitter) that there's an article about it in the...

And now weather

VERY good day today, not just because we had the scan and it all went well, but the day itself was great. HOT, SUNNY, it was like SUMMER. Drove home at lunchtime along the seafront (as Operation Stack was on) and everyone was out, Bar Vasa looked to ...

Fierce storm last night here

Masses of thunder and lightning, quite close by, made the building shake once. I would not be surprised to hear somewhere near by was struck / damaged. Did not hear a lot of rain, but I can see the ground is damp... The pool table is still on the fro...

Capel death plunge

BBC reports a man in his mid thirties has fallen to his death from cliffs near Folkestone over the weekend:-(

I think it's fair to say Mr Tomlinson DID have contact with police before he died!

Man who died at the G20 police (the man the IPCC initially said the police had had no "contact" with) seen here in a video getting some rather full contact in the back from a policeman. Courtesy of The Guardian.Heard the man's son on the radio today ...

Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix "Phantom" baby seat

Phantom sounds good doesn't it? It's just the colour rather than it being a special stealth baby seat though.Just tried to get one of these in Mothercare, they didn't have one in stock but would order it for me. Their computer system turned out to be...

Michael Jackson tickets, premier seats in block A

Did you queue for tickets? Did you phone up on the first day? Are you disappointed with your seats? Looks like the best seats were reserved for value added packages like this:Choose Premium seats in Block A on the Floor in first 15 rows, or first 20 ...

Canterbury Wholefoods is great

It's all vegetarian, with some vegan options. We had the christmas dinner there (just before, uh, CHRISTMAS), but this time we had beanburgers and cake. Very nice, give it a try! It's not big, so you might be lucky to get in. You can reserve a table ...

RE: Saw a GREAT house at the weekend

Karl's very posh !

What is Canterbury wholefoods like for food, I have never been in the eating bit only the shopping bit.

Saw a GREAT house at the weekend

But boo, it was too small! I've decided this is my ideal location in Canterbury though, just off Old Dover Road, everything just looks nice. This was actually on between Old Dover Road and New Dover Road. This house is under budget, three bedrooms, n...

Death at Westenhanger :-(

Brief details here, someone was killed by a train at 2.10pm on Monday

Heading to London in a bit

Luckily driving as all our trains are cancelled "icy rails" apparently. Got a SCARE when I friend on twitter asked if we were snowed in, wondered how it would affect our journey. But all good, off in a bit, full report on our return.UPDATE: 25 respon...

Pictures of the inside of the Cheesegrater!

Here on archdaily.com. CMS Secretary of State Andy Burnham, performs the official opening of our new venue on the 5th of March. Where's my invite? Big ups to Number 11 (not that one), who did invite me to their opening do on Thursday. Sorry I couldn'...

Would have had a better view from Google Earth

Been too busy at work today to think about writing up last night's Cure gig, but for starters here's the view from our seats:Even worse than I though :-(No time to write more now, dinner is ready, watching a bit of Question of Sport and then rugby, a...

PLEASE NOTE Seats located on Level 4 (Upper Tier, Upper Bowl) are not recommended for those who have a fear of heights

Was talking to a friend yesterday who was too afraid to stand up when she went to the O2 because her seat was too high up. I'm sure it won't be that bad, I am building it up a bit for comic effect, but crikey. Also: Please note there are planned engi...
