“thought planted a feather, and thought a chicken would grow.”
what does that *mean*?!????
fancy-schmancy
So you may have noticed, I have done yet another site re-design (sorta, I still haven’t got around to sorting the photo index page yet – there’s a daunting amount of cleanup to do there first…)
Hopefully, this page has a lot better integrity (source wise) than the last incarnation, and can still be viewed ok in alternative formats. Simplified things a bit as well (okay, finally realised you can’t throw *all* the cool tricks onto one page!)
And, added a narcissistic “about me” page – is there no end to my ego??
Very curious to know what people think, so speak up!
In the meantime, if you’re at all wondering what I did think weekend? THis is it.
And, happy birthday to my dearest elliot! Wish I was there to sing for you.
Love you oodles and oodles,
e.t.
my sister must love me
ingredients: sugar, cornsyrup, gelatin, less than .5% potassium sorbate, artificial flavours, carnauba wax (for the eyes – yes the same stuff you put on your car)

loads to blog about the in-laws visit and half-marathon, but it’ll have to wait, as any energy I had has been diverted into stopping two 5 year olds from killing each other. in the meantime here’s a pic from the race (personal best time, 2:11:08 for 13.1 miles)
Hello, Uranus? Got Any Room? Must. Move. Away. Cannot endure more Bush. Soul about to implode. Right? Not so fast

random notes from the edge
First off, belated and early congrats to alex and mike – alex is preggers and they’re getting married on 25th September. between all the protests, world travels, fine dining, and designer labels, they will no doubt have the most socially conscious and fashionable child on the planet. (I secretly think alex is just having a baby to have someone besides herself to shop for…)
okay, so she’s going to hate me for this… but kim has a new site as well, www.misitio.co.uk lots of travel photos (it’s been a busy year for her!)
realised I never put up pics from canterbury, so here they are.
also, crap random photos from richmond and eastbourne
that’s it for the mo’, peace out…
you can take the girl out of america, but you cant take the american out of the girl
lots to update on, as we’ve just returned from a two week holiday to the states. we spent time in nyc, boston, and cape cod. the weather was sucky, but we saw and did quite a lot, nonetheless. will blog the lowdown on all later.
more importantly, j met my family – and amazingly, still wants to marry me, despite the clear evidence of hereditary insanity.
see the photos here.
