Other stuff

I didn’t want to write about ‘other stuff’ in my announcement of Africa blog (do you get the feeling I’m plugging it?!).

So, to sum up: Champions League - dull (well there’s a fucking surprise); US TV series that I watch - (Desperate Housewives, Lost) - all coming to an end as, apparently are Ugly Betty and 24, what do Americans do in the summer for decent TV?; BB - back soon (OMG - really? Can I convince myself I don’t need to watch it because I’ll be away when it ends?).

Okay, other non-related and pointless subjects:

It’s deliciously warm (although did get a bit sticky this evening). However, apparently rainy and vile this (bank holiday) weekend -quelle surprise!

I got a blister from my sandals yesterday and a sort of unpleasant rubbing effect from my shoes today so my feet are in a horrible state.

I’ve started compiling my definitive list of fave films and TV programmes. Actually a really good conversation starter/reviver/distractor. I hope to have an answer soon although still needs work as a discussion I had last night demonstrated that I had forgotten the film with one of my favourite lines of all time:

“Death by stereo”

How could I have forgotten?

I will endeavour to get this (rather poncily named) ouevre completed. Well - at least - to date.

Two blogs

Am I the John Prescott of the blogosphere? I have a new blog. At the moment not entirely happy with the lay out but:

1. I’m not an expert at html or whatever it is
2. Life may be too short to learn
3. I will have funky pictures once I get there

Anyway, looks aren’t everything. 

So I am lists a-go-go. And…I can’t wipe the smile off my face. I thought that three days in I might have had a pang of doubt but no I am still like a three year old with unlimited access to the sweety store or the cat that got the cream. Yes, I have thought about the mosquitoes,  but I also worked (albeit briefly) on Malarone. I have thought about the human danger against my person but, I hate to break it to you, I live in London - how much more scary can it get (and not actually feel that scary)? Also I have been hugely surprised and delighted by the reaction of friends and family. Even my parents met the news with a degree of equanimity.

I am SO READY FOR THIS.
