Quandary

Sunny morning so far but the forecast has a fifty per cent chance it will rain today and double that for tomorrow.

So do I do a short visit to Sheerness or not today or do I wait for Wednesday to do a mega-round robin trip?

That is the quandary.

And time is flying by.

Doll House

Well, I just popped to town and back for some foodstuff. Posted off two items I sold on the net as well.

I have been watching Doll House Season 2 and completed it last night. Joss had some great lovely actresses in that series and as well as Eliza Dushku, there was Dichen Lachman as Sierra, Amy Acker as Dr.Clare Saunders,    Felicia Day as Mag and Summer Glau as Bennett Halverson, and all were somewhere in the Whedonverse.

I preferred the second season to the first. Still, a very controversial series for network television.

Will Carruthers "Playing The Bass With Three Left Hands" (Faber & Faber)







A very readable and hilarious memoir from Spaceman 3 and Spiritualised bassman Will Carruthers. Honest and funny. If you lived in/through the 1980s it is like a (bad)trip down memory lane: part social documentary/ part rock history. Captures the hash-soaked, sordid end of a depressing, Tory-dominated decade before the internet and mobile phones made everything boring and samey. Hell - in the '80s you had to walk places, catch buses and trains and talk to people face to face and you had real-life experiences, not some second-hand second-rate shared experience through the viewfinder of your cosy-contract mobile phone. Reading this will make you want to start a band or build a time machine so you can go back and be a Spaceman 3 groupie!
