Thursday, March 31, 2005. 5 Things About Last Night's Doves Gig. 1 I really like Doves. In fact they are one of my favourite bands, so I was very excited to be seeing them at the Brixton Academy last night, with my lovely boyfriend Alex. They played a solid set of stuff from all three albums, but it just lacked something. There was no real connection or excitement. Pleasant enough, and they played well, but not very gripping. 4 The lights were purrrty. Posted by Becky @ 10:31 am. Wednesday, March 30, 2005.

Friday, October 13, 2006. 5 Things About Being Unemployed. Friday was my last day at Music Choice. Ever. Amazing to say that after almost seven years. I recently decided that it was time to move on, and then, half way through my three-month notice period I had a brainwave, like a neon sign flashing so close to my face that I hadn’t spotted it. Don’t get a new job go to South America instead! I've spent this week drinking a lot, basically (she writes, with glass of red lurking temptingly inches away).

Wednesday, December 06, 2006. 5 Things About Which I Am Pleased. 1 Just before lunch I was offered another week's work at the agency I am freelancing for at the moment (yes, that's right, no longer unemployed). Wasn't looking forward to being off work for the fortnight before Christmas! Everyone is very nice here, and even though the office is a portacabin. They have decorated it with a giant Christmas tree and frequent rounds of mince pies. I am in shock. But v. v. pleased. Posted by Becky @ 2:36 pm.

Sunday, March 12, 2006. 5 Things About A Weekend With The Folks. My mum AND dad came to see me this weekend (lovely). They wanted to do 'silly London things'. I'm not sure we achieved that entirely, but we did pretty well. This is what we managed (I forgot to take pictures). 1) I discovered (thanks to Shona and Urban Junkies. 2) We went to the Political Cartoon Society. 3) On the way back from the Political Cartoon Gallery, we happened upon the centre for New London Architecture. In Forest Hill. We p...

Friday, December 01, 2006. I seem to have started a trend, so here are five thing-types I wouldn't mind for Xmas. I don't want all this, it's just for inspiration. Things with almonds in them.

Books about South America. Spanish language-books (note use of hyphen). A digital music player with a huge memory. A Bunch Of Stuff.

Friday, June 17, 2005. 5 Things About Reliable Builders. 1 Now, I'm not one for generalisations, but I'm still waiting for someone to disprove this one. I booked today off work, so a patch of damp in my living room could be repaired at considerable expense! I got a call at 9am to let me know that their guy was ill, and wouldn't be turning up. I have got nice new hair colour, and a cut booked for tomorrow. Woohoo! Posted by Becky @ 2:52 pm. Tuesday, June 14, 2005. 5 Things About Old Friends. 1 Last night ...

Monday, July 25, 2005. 5 Things About a True Friend. 1 True friends are wonderful. They trust you. They trust you to cut their hair for them, instead of paying over the odds at a swanky salon. 2 True friends feed you delicious food and give you sparkles to drink on a Saturday evening in exchange for cutting their hair for them. 3 True friends even trust you to cut their hair after you've drunk half a bottle of Cava and you're watching Rosemary's Baby out of the corner of one eye. Please say you do. 5 Thi...

Wednesday, September 27, 2006. Originally uploaded by Becky Barrett. 5 Things About Emma. 1 She is very funny and clever and makes me laugh at loud at my desk so that people look at me and wonder if I am mad. 2 She is very generous and does things like take me to see Madonna for my birthday. Hooray for Madge! 3 She is very thoughtful and sweet, and sent me a thank you card after our weekend in Brighton (I don't think I sent her one after Madonna, for example). Posted by Becky @ 4:51 pm.

Saturday, November 26, 2005. Pie in the Skye. 5 Things About Brick Lane. 1 I've visited Brick Lane a few times recently, as it's Rob's favourite part of London. He does the tour guide thing very well, pointing out to me where Jack the Ripper killed his victims and so on! 2 On Thursday we went to see Skye (old Morcheeba singer) do her first solo gig at 93 Feet East. I left work late after talking to the security guard for 45 minutes (lovely chap, but boy, can he talk! Posted by Becky @ 9:42 am. Possibly t...
