Claire Fordham: February 2008
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. And the winner is. Forgetting she was supposed to not talk to rest her voice as we drove to the Santa Barbara gig, Julia positively shouted at me that I could keep my hands off Daniel Day Lewis as he’s her fantasy boyfriend and has been since they had a clash of shopping baskets in Holland and Barrett on Kensington High Street over 20 years ago. As Jack Nicholson said, You know you’re a movie star when people start calling you a faggot. Julia Fordham Jazzes It Up. She sang a ...

Claire Fordham: January 2007
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 02, 2007. I’ve always said to my children that once my memory goes they have my full permission to smother me with a pillow. I hadn’t expected to be so forgetful quite so soon. But we don’t have the time. Luckily, husband Colin can always be relied on to remember everything he says that might be construed as interesting or witty, so I don’t feel pressured to make notes as we go along. Quick as a flash, he said: I do. And he didn’t laugh. See how I just slipped that into the conversation?

Cool links | Much of a muchness
https://dianealdred.com/category/cool-links
My books and how to make them. Much of a muchness. Things that make you go 'hmm'…. Category Archives: Cool links. Hats off to Bridport. On September 19, 2010. The town where I live, Bridport. 8216; (in theory due to the large number of trendy London folk now visiting the town) there was uproar. In Bridport, there is a brilliant shop called T Snook. This is their web site. At 1230 there was a mass hat photograph in the town square (which is called BuckyDoo Square). Possibly UK only…). And satin sandals, a...

Sunday, January 27, 2008. A most excellent evening with Julia, Lori and Joan to celebrate the launch of Julia’s latest CD, ‘China Blue’, at Rustic Canyon on Wilshire and 11th. Superb food. It’s been available for download (the album, not the restaurant) for over a week, but on Tuesday we had the actual hard copy in our hands. Posted by Claire at 5:31 AM. Sunday, January 13, 2008. Starry, starry steak. So Lori, Joan and I enjoyed a glass or two of wine as we waited for our table. I had already noticed...

Claire Fordham: April 2008
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. While Colin, the Man Child and I were eating the delicious Salade Caprese I had lovingly prepared, Colin announced that he doesn’t actually like salad and would I mind not serving it quite so often. As Randy Marsh said on South Park: It’s all about moderation. If you never fart, you combust, but if you always fart, you deplete the ozone. So we must fart only at appropriate times or when it’s really, really funny. Despite all this, I still organized a party for Colin and the Man Ch...

Claire Fordham: October 2007
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 26, 2007. Left on the Tuesday and my daughter, Mia, arrived the next day. Just enough time to grab a shower, wash the sheets, tidy up and do a food shop. Not that there was much tidying to do as Diane is a low-maintenance guest the best kind. Mia isn’t as tidy as Diane, but is most welcome, nonetheless. We’re having a wonderful mother/daughter bonding time. Posted by Claire at 3:10 AM. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. We could have discussed it over the phone, but I’m glad I went all that way...

Claire Fordham: November 2006
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 08, 2006. There are parts of. That seem like heaven. Think of all those elegant houses in the. The cool funkiness of. And the rustic charm of. But they all have one thing in common that, to my ears, make them seem like hell. Every tick of the clock, day or night, is punctuated by a bark, woof or yap. I’ve spent the last two years technically homeless in. I agreed that I would only buy the bare essentials for the kitchen. I had to concede, as I unpacked my latest purchases from Cra...

January 4th 2011 – Diane's 365 photo project
https://365pixproject.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/january-4th-2011
Diane's 365 photo project. One photograph, each day, for 365 days. A sure remedy for the post-festivity, rubbish weather, January blues. The dose to be adjusted to personal taste and accompanied by a really good movie and a warm dog. Click to email (Opens in new window). Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Claire Fordham: June 2008
http://clairefordham.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 07, 2008. I hate to gossip but pull up a chair. The filming did start on ‘The Making Of Plus One’ movie during the Cannes Film Festival. But sans Meg Tilly, who fell out with the director over, shall we say, artistic differences. One scene called for Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet look-a-likes to walk down la Croisette. The fake Kate must have been convincing because Gwyneth Paltrow (the real one) waved at her. But I didn't think it was possible to have a more magnificent birthday party t...
