Back from my holidays - refreshed and relaxed and raring to get back to work. not. As I was in Ireland the Pope's death was of course highly poigniant . I remember well someone looked up from their pint of Guniness and someone saying 'oh, I see the Pope's died then' and the outpouring - well, slight mumuring - of grief before everyone got back...

Snotty as fuck - not the way to spend Easter Sunday (ignoring the religious side of things, it's supposed to be a good day for stuffing your face; tricky if you can't breath)

New Dr Who made its official TV debut last night - loved it (and bollocks to all the n'ear-do-wells who are poo-poo-ing it). 2nd series is already in pre-production so it'll be...

So it's been a busy week of work and Nintendo, coupled with catching up with DVDs and books - been watching Clone Wars since the wee hours due to inability to sleep of late (usual nonsense - stress, worry, etc, etc.)

Spring has sprung in old London town - well it had, it's now chucking it down but it was really nice of the past...

DS finally arrived on Monday - hoo-haa-hip-hip-horray!

Sufice to say I have spent a good couple of days with the new Moby and The Bravery albums cranked up and my stylus scratching at Mario Ware Touched.

New Dr Who - thumbs up

Basement Jaxx: the singles - thumbs up

Nintendo DS - will have to get back to you on this one as the cunting postman as stolen it. possibly.

As I never ask questions (nor answer them, but hey! that's me) here's one: What...

Happy St David's Day (No Welsh SG set? BAH! I bet we ger some oirish nonsense on St Patrick's Day, oh well! )

To celebrate I went back to the land of my fathers (and indeed, my dad) to watch the rugby at the weekend. Suffice to say - we kicked arse! (note to U.S. SG bods - Rugby is a bit like American football...

Life is good, actually - nothing to complain about at all. Sorry, doom'n'gloom merchants everywhere, you'll just have to get your misery by proxy somewhere else for a bit.

footnote: general peachiness enhanced by new QUINNE set - reminds me of that Julian Cope classic 'Upwards At 45 degrees'

Back from my travels - four days in Venice to take in some culture and some carnival. Lovely weather - cold but sunny all the time. All the relaxing and cheeriness embued by the holiday was wiped out yesterday in one fell swoop when I came down with a lurgee-and-then-some, which had me thanking the architect who put our toilet so near our barh
