Well wash my mouth out with soap and call me a liar!


Well goodness gracious me; I really am failing you all of late. One measly post since my promise to update you all on my recent adventures and endeavors. What kind of hoodwinker - I believe that is a real word and if it isn't, then I wish to coin it - does that make me? I will, however, strive to correct this.

Unfortunately, now I come to jot down all my memorably significant circumstances, I am finding it more than impossible to think of anything vaguely captivating to say. In fact, the second I try and force my brainwaves in to action, I get the completely opposite effect and the cogs in my head seem to run slower than Windows Me on dope.

I do have one thing to say though, Toy Story 3 is immense... review shall follow soon.

Other tings what I has done, like:

A week at The Fly Magazine: I got to see Spindle & Wit, an awesome new folk band. As many of you will know, I love the folk and S&W have this month entered my personal top ten artists of 2010. You can find my news articles and blog on The Fly website.

A week at Beach Break festival: This mother of a trip saw me hitting the shores of Pembrey County Park in wales. I saw loads of amazing bands and artists and spent far, far, too much money. I also lost a lovely jumper which was a bit rubbish. Particular highlights came in the form of the king of beat box Beardyman and reggae/ska band Boycom who I saw in Chai Wallah's - my favorite venue - which would please any fan of dreadlocks and sheesha. It was a satisfying antidote to missing out on The Hop Farm festival and better still, I won the tickets!

Highbury Youth Theatre's, 'Summer Holiday': A truly phenomenal production. I feel like a proud mother to those little thespians. Going back to see the show after my week in London made rushing around helping out with it so unbelievably worth it. All topped of by a spectacular after show party Chez Cotter and Strike avec Le Parc on the Sunday it couldn't have been a better weekend!

New Job: After all the fretting over money - or rather, lack of it - all has come up trumps. I started my bar job at The Figure of Eight last Monday and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I was a tad nervous at first - and that might be a tad of an understatement - but the people are great and the money is marvelous :D

Right, now we are all caught up - even through this somewhat appalling excuse for a post- I will love and leave you. If I think of anything vaguely interesting to talk about anytime soon I will most certainly update my posts :)
