Finished

By Val | Published: August 31, 2007
Remember that landscape painting I started back in January? Well, I struggled and strugled with it, repainted it again and again. But it just wouldn’t work. Nothing came right. So, the other day, in a fit of anger after a final futile attempt, I got a tube of white and smeared it all over [...]

O Noes!

There is going to be a remake of that classic SF film The Day The Earth Stood Still. With Keau Reeves as the alien Klaatu. Ack. This could possibly be the worst remake of a classic film since the 2006 mangling of “The Wicker Man”.

Getting This Show on the Road…

By Val | Published: August 26, 2007
As you may have noticed, I have now installed Skype (I refuse to use “I’m Skyped!” or some other some horrible mangling of the language). So any of you with a Skype connection can now talk to me online. You may also have noticed the new ad for my astrology service – yes, I [...]

Yech…..

I was trying to put the magazine together, discovered that a regular contributor couldn’t make it. So I had to delete four pages and rearrange the rest of the magazine. Then discover a couple of [...]

Tired…

By Val | Published: August 17, 2007
…so tired today, and yesterday too. OK, yesterday’s tiredness was apparently caused by a bout of insommnia the night before. I stayed up late again last night, but only until midnight or so. But today I am still tired and lacking in energy. We went shopping today in Ayr – I wanted [...]

Woke up….

By Val | Published: August 2, 2007
….feeling blahhh. Besides the usual (headache, stiffness, nagging bladder) I felt low and depressed. This was probably to do with something I’d talked about with a friend last night, an ongoing situation that gets me down sometimes. But, it’s my problem, I’ve lived with it for long enough.

Proof….

By Val | Published: August 1, 2007
…that cannabis – especially when combined with a shedload of other pharmaceuticals – can be bad for you comes in the no-longer-chubby form of David Shayler. The ex-MI5 whistleblower appears to be shapeshifting into the new David Icke.
