Sadly today is the day that my computer is being shut down and taken apart in preparation for the move to Edgware!
For those who were expecting a blog this weekend, including a write up of the "real" Reading Festival, you will have to wait until Wednesday (when hopefully we will have the net again!)
Hope you all had a great weekend (I certainly did!) and are about to have a brilliant 4 day week!

Phone Shopping
On Friday, I had to go to college to sort out some stuff, so I thought it might be nice to drop in and see my mate Liz for lunch. After a pleasant visit to Cavendish Square to eat my cheap Benjy's lunch, I nipped into Carphone Warehouse to look for a new phone.
When I got back upstairs, I spotted a rather familiar looking chair.
It dawned on me that I had seen the chair almost every night for the past 10 weeks.
Yes, it was the diary room chair from BB5!
And sat upon that chair was Nadia!
Woo hoo! I met Nadia and got her autograph!
Magic!

brushstroke - peace
This is a pretty cool site, from an anti-war poster competition!
Some are funny, some are true, all are effective!

Gays in the Village?
I found this article in the archived Times a few weeks ago, and had forgotten about it!
I particularly like the bit about "poof organisations"!
Enjoy!

First Great Eastern Sleeper Carriage
Now to say that I had a low energy day at work today is something of an understatement. Today I was just not in the mood. I was most glad to be making my way home!
I arrived at Liverpool St in good time for the 1615 train to Harwich Town, which I duly boarded.
I found myself a seat, and settled down in a little pod of 2, by the window. Soon afterwards I was joined by an attractive young lady, who looked to be about 20.
By the time we got to Stratford, said attractive young lady had fallen asleep on my shoulder.
Now being a seasoned commuter, I can understand how people can be tired when they leave work, so I let her sleep.
As we approached Chelmsford, she woke up and was really embarrassed and apologetic that she had fallen asleep on me.
I accepted her apologies, and she said I had "a comfortable shoulder"
She apparently gets the same train every day, so I suggested that if she ever needed anyone to sleep on, I would be glad to help. She agreed that would be good!
As we left the train, I gave her a smile and a wink, and she turned pink!
She has experienced the magic!

Sunday Antics
This morning, I may have overslept slightly! When I finally rolled out of bed at 9.00am, I realised I may be a bit late for the Army, so I went in shorts and an Army t-shirt, with my uniform in my bag! After the meeting, we went to Mr Scott's for lunch. It was almost a repeat of last night's meal, apart from the fact we didn't have steak, soup or profiteroles, just roast beef! It was, as always, lovely! After lunch, Clare came round and we watched her DVD of JS Camp. Featured on this was the famous Monkey World, including Gordon and Tuan, the fighting orangutans!
In the evening meeting, the fun started! Adrian Hampel aka Lou's Dad thought it would be funny to put Fairy Liquid down Lou's baritone. When mixed with the water from Louisa's mouth, the usual effect was achieved, and bubbles came out of her instrument! And all this during the first tune!
Garry and Louisa had a small battle as to who would have more space on the platform. This involved much pushing of chairs, moving of stands and general angry banter.
The fun was further achieved when somebody gave her testimony, she went on at great lengths about getting the bus, people dying and getting lovely letters. Amen!
Most of the band were listening intently, though others were eager for her to finish her delightful story.
Post-meeting we were supposed to go to Gemma and Natalie's for an impromtu YF, but it didn't happen, so Lou and I engaged in some banter at home!
I must go now, as 5.30 won't come easy tomorrow morning!
So, adoring fans, for now, fare thee well!

Weddie's Edding.... I mean Eddie's Wedding!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to the wedding of Eddie and her new husband, Richard.
Now to say Eddie dresses extravagantly is a bit of an understatement, but I don't think I have ever seen her a) dressed so un-extravagently and b) looking so beautiful.
After a short marriage service, we all made our way up to the Waterfront Place, where there were some lovely pictures taken.
I did something bad though. I had some Buck's Fizz! At first I thought it was just bad tasting orange juice, then it emerged that it had champagne in it! D'oh!
We had some speeches from the father of the bride, the groom and then the best man, who didn't tell any embarassing stories or any rude jokes!
The post speech meal was lovely, and what we were all really there for!
We started with some lovely tomato soup, followed by steak in red wine gravy and topped off with some divine profiteroles!
After the meal, we all reluctantly were dragged up to the dancefloor by Stacey and Stef! as the first few dances progressed, we realized that the DJ was stuck somewhere in the early 60's, playing such modern choons as "Goodness Gracious! Great Balls of Fire!"
His previous record notwithstanding, he was quite good, and we all looked pretty silly dancing (together!)
The car was nicely decorated with traffic cones, silly string and ribbons as they made their way off to their honeymoon destination!
Later I will bring the account of today, and the meeting related antics we enjoyed!

Possible Origins of Timmy Magic
I was musing today as to a possible origin for the name Timmy Magic. After all, I am not entirely sure where it came from.
It is alleged that in my younger days, I looked like Harry Potter.
I can't see it myself, but have a look and see...

Really Long Time No Post!
Hey y'all!
Sorry for the lack of postage in the past few weeks, but I have been majorly busy and not at home much!
I did the whole birthday thing on the 26th, and I was appreciative of all the cards I got (and thanks to those who might have forgotten too!)
Soul in the City was a fantastic 2 weeks, and there was some amazing stuff going on!
Matt and Christina are now happily engaged, and we had a party to celebrate!
Guess what! Mike and I were the whipping boys of the evening, which does come as a surprise.
I was slightly in trouble from Stef, who bemoaned the fact that I had used the band website picture for the Lowestoft write up. So
There you go Stef!
Looking beautiful in your fuzzy purple hat!
This week has been pretty rubbish, apart from the fact that we had a lad's night last night.
We decided we should go to Monkey World to see Gordon and Tang, who had a fight because Tang wanted to sleep with Gordon's mum!
Well, it has taken me over an hour to write this, as Mum and Dad found the baby pictures while packing!
Have it good
