I seem to have been very uncommunicative lately, sorry.

Me news is that I've got a new job, which is a relief as now I won't have to go on that killing spree. I can always put the weapons on eBay.

I've just come back from camping in the Sandlings, which was lots of fun, and also I like saying 'Sandlings'. We didn't get wet to speak of, I only got the very mildest of sunstrokes, and we got to listen to several bits of an open-air performance of Hamlet twice, for free! We followed the UFO trail backwards through the forest, saw no actual aliens but lots of butterflies, deer and cyclists. We nipped over to Shingle Street, another site of local legend, where the wind was very windy and the waves were very high. I collected pebbles for my bathroom. Then we had dinner at a pub by the river, where we spent a long time laughing at bad art. Trust me, you would have done too, it was extremely funny. This morning we visited a maize maze in the rain and I topped myself up with ice cream. Before we went home we stopped at Tesco's where I found myself entirely maddened by the return to civilisation and bought a large quantity of Stuff.

What else? The X Factor is back. Manipulative, cheap thrills telly, is what that is. And I am utterly powerless to resist its charms, yay!

Weekends. They really ought to be longer.
