As everyone's been going on about how nice the list is at the moment, I thought I'd apologise for my frankly undeserved outburst against Linda McCartney - she's just as worthwhile as any other wife and mother and human bean of any age, creed etc. dying before their time. But no more. I also was obviously not on song that day, as it was I who called Keith "winsome". Well I think he is! Surely it's a good thing? I'm glad he's back, anyway, and I hope I'll be able to bother him again next time I'm in Scotland. Arantxa, you sweetie, you! I'm blushing with undeserved praise... So I spent part of this afternoon helping my chickadee put up her new shelves. She clevely managed to hold the spanner wrong or something, thus resulting in me saying "no, like this" and beavering away for the next few minutes while she sat there with a shadow of a cunning smile on her lips... This all came after my first ever trip to IKEA. What a scary place! Not as scary as going to B&Q, though. I found myself lusting after wrench sets and door handles, despite not a jot of interest in DIY, and bought myself some de-icer. God, impulse buying, how can you resist... I'm going to try and buy a house this year. This spring, if I sort myself out quickly enough. If any listee estate agents have any advice, feel free to let me know...if I do manage to get a place, then I'd have a job, a house, a girlfriend (if she'll still have me), and pretty much everything I could want. Am I right to find this a bit nerve-wracking? I must admit to being a bit bored by "Crumbling the Antiseptic beauty", which I was listening to this morning. Bits of it are...nice, but that was about all. Is it a grower, like, say, If You're Feeling Sinister? Hope so, as it's not every day that bands are so highly praised on the list. Actually, when I'd been subbed only about 2 weeks, someone said how great Hefner are, and they then went ad released the second best album of last year. Stars. Which is why anyone within 200 miles of the Poetry caff should go and see them (is it this Friday?) at the next social. And that's an order. Well, I've just found a remnant of my diet-breaking Crunchie, so I shall nibble on it while relaxing in front of an association football match on the box.
