Monday..

And it's a STAGGERINGLY lovely day - bit too hot already at 6am for the dogs - so they just has a wander around Clive vale and Pinders.

I have to go to a meeting first thing, it was described in the invitation email as 'full and frank' - not sure what that means ( it's not just me - but the whole department ) - and then something called 'staff development' - I've always wanted to be better developed... Most of this week will be meetings - I'm looking forward to the end - then I'm 'off' - but I have a meeting tomorrow to pick up more work commercially.

Shame about Anna Massey - really liked her - have a lot of her films on DVD - even if she had only made Frenzy and Peeping Tom - she would still have been a star.

I had a lovely lunch yesterday in one of the posher houses on east Ascent that included pink champagne and a cuddle with a beautiful fawn lurcher lass and a sparky little Bedlington boy. The exact mirrors of my two but with the sexes the wrong way around.

Apparently I sold quite a lot of stuff at the Pop Up Shop - I shall look forward to seeing how much I get later this week.

Found the images of a gurning Murdock and Brooks rather obscene - 'She's my Priority' probably won't wash with all the poor buggers who lost their jobs last week.

The Beckham woman has given birth. I don't care. It was all over the news like herpes last night - we are all just waiting to see what kind of stupid name they give it.

Watched the extra long directors cut version of The Wicker Man last night - fantastic film.
