... Pen knives, people! They are responsible for an awful lot of ballad deaths. I showed the video to wakanomori , and he told me that P.J. Harvey was born and grew up in the same part of Dorset as wakanomori himself! Wild--she was born in Bridport and grew up in Beaminster... when we lived with Waka's parents in England, we used to walk footpaths from Netherbury to Beaminster...
Last week I posted about Waitrose getting planning permission for a new supermarket on our cricket pitch. I don't expect Ken Pyne is aware of this but here's his cartoon from the current Private Eye . Topical, eh?
...able to cope with seeing Ten and Rose together without having something akin to a nervous breakdown. An interesting sidenote - who the hell is putting posters for a Dalek invasion up all round the Dorset countryside? If it's anyone on my flist (and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised) I'd like you to please explain yourself. I thought I was imagining it, but then my mother saw it too, and she's not...
I'm off to Dorset next week - first time there, and I'm going camping. I have already bought On Chesil Beach to read while I'm there (at least some of it will be read on Chesil Beach, I'm hoping) and I was considering re-reading Persuasion, which is partly set in Lyme Regis (I shall definitely be jumping off the Cob, although hopefully not half-killing myself in the process) but I would really welcome...

Pottery Pier Wild chickens The old vinnary Formation Ducks I'll have the silver and black one thanks!
Beaulei: Motor Museum, Palace house, Abbey & gardens. Me want! Alvin's Acorn - The Chipmunks Car Peel. How The Hell did Clarkson fit in it?! David Coulthard's Michael Schumacher's Sebastian Loeb's
...the fact that I'm up to my elbows in beta work, what with having been in Malaga and the fic exchange and all. At least my own submission to the fic exchange is all done and dusted before I leave for Dorset on Monday, because quite frankly I have not the foggiest whether or not my parents will follow up on their vows to get broadband for the cottage, and whilst the barman at the Bull Hotel is very...
over the next few days I'm gonna be posting some photos taken on my hols of the quite frankly beautiful Dorset countryside, villages etc. To start with here are a couple of my photographs of Corfe Castle with was within walking distance from where I stayed. The castle is currently going through essential repairs and maintenance. Corfe village from the castle The bath! ...
