The phrase at 2.05m kept going through my mind today..




Fast forward to 2.05mins..

"It isn't it? Different?" Hmmm, those that were there will know what I mean, and maybe whether things will now be different?

ipad 3

And so the hype begins again. I've had many lengthy conversations about this with Al. I have a weird fascination with ipad/iphones BUT DON'T ACTUALLY OWN ONE. Why this is I don't know, but i love all the hype about them before they come out. I think the anticipation is the thing. Actually buying one would run the risk of being disappointed. Pleasure denying I guess. Paging Dr. Freud....

A good day in Tenby

On the last day of our week in Pembrokeshire we decided to go into Tenby for fish and chips by the sea- a mandatory part of any holiday by the coast.

After scoring some great good fortune by finding a parking space (the last one in the car park) and then finding that parking was free in the evening we then found a first rate chip shop (park road chip shop if you're ever down that way). 

The run of good luck continued by being able to find an unoccupied bench by the seafront that could fit all six of us on. Eating chips looking out to sea while the sun sets am byth. And then walking along the promenade we happened upon a crowd of people watching a long distance swim around the bay (part of a triathlon, I think). Here is a photo of it I took on my mobile. The lighting was great from the sunset. Wish I'd had my other camera at the time....

I agree with this, particularly the last paragraph.

"...the thrills on Suck It and See are muted – lovelorn, crafted, elegantly played, but somehow unelectrifying. As the Monkeys' respect for the canon increases, it's as though we are seeing something vital being sucked out of them."
