Trashsparkle: Another Fine Use Of Vintage...
http://trashsparkle.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-fine-use-of-vintage.html
Tuesday, 19 June 2012. Another Fine Use Of Vintage. Too quick for me to grab the camera, Wilbur had just been sitting on these old imperial scales. I popped him back on, out of curiosity: he weighs 2 pounds. Don't ask me what that is in funny kg language. I can't/won't do metric, but its the same as a large bag of sugar;). And now for the bit where I'm Not A Film Blogger But. some lovely films I've seen recently:. See it if you haven't. And obviously it has a dark undertow of tight morals, jealousies...

Trashsparkle: April 2012
http://trashsparkle.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 April 2012. Well, we're over the Excitement That Was Nancy Sinatra. No, it hasn't taken me that long to recover, but life. well, it just gets In The Way sometimes doesn't it. A brief snippette of recent things then. And a little (rail)road trip to family in the south. Oh, and buying some more Pixies and Yeah Yeah Yeah cds. But for now, I'll just mention the recent 24 hours:. Gorgeous green Kent countryside, oast houses, sheep, horses, drinking gallons of tea with my lovely cousin at her house.

Trashsparkle: December 2011
http://trashsparkle.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 December 2011. Feeling ridiculously good - happy, lucky, contented good, not hyper, stimulant-fuelled good - this New Year's Eve. No particular reason - it's just feeling more important this year than any other so far to feel lucky that my life's in a good place, with a prickling feeling about those whose life isn't. Of course, we will ignore the 3 weeks or whatever length of boredom that shall be the olympics ;). Links to this post. Friday, 30 December 2011. Will sort my books out so they a...

Trashsparkle: Not Going To See The Queen
http://trashsparkle.blogspot.com/2012/06/not-going-to-see-queen.html
Wednesday, 13 June 2012. Not Going To See The Queen. On last night's local news they said the Queen would be visiting Nottingham this morning. I asked the 13 year-old if he wanted me to spring him out of school for the day so we could go and watch her *doing some waving* on the town hall balcony, and, like, see her in the flesh. He didn't. It felt odd to imagine myself going, sans children, so I didn't either. And I *might have watched the odd bit of tv coverage too*. Note, they are NOT cup-cakes! I real...

Trashsparkle: June 2012
http://trashsparkle.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 June 2012. If Barbara Cartland Had Been Reincarnated. Wouldn't it have been as one of these? Oh alright then, here's one where her make-up. Doesn't look quite so ridiculous. Just one of her many, many millions of titles. I think this one was written between breakfast and elevenses. Links to this post. Another Fine Use Of Vintage. And now for the bit where I'm Not A Film Blogger But. some lovely films I've seen recently:. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958) - when Liz Taylor died I realised to my sha...

Saturday, 29 December 2012. Hopelessly Wrong, But. Indeed, aren't people meant to hibernate through the winter? My blog had other ideas and seems to have been in a comfy, straw-lined shoebox for the last 5 months, completely missing the rest of the summer and autumn. Maybe its got antipodean dna and thought it would align itself with the southern hemisphere seasons? A massively belated happy christmas all round - and cranking up the slightly rusty blog engine once more, we have a *new feature*. Home Is W...
