Neglected blog February 4, 2008
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Blogging , trackbackPoor, neglected wee blog. New Year’s resolutions don’t seem to last too well, so perhaps I should have a new month resolution to post a little more often.
I do not like January in England. It’s not natural. Dismal days, with the sun going down at about 4pm mean that all I want to do is curl up with a DVD, the cat and a bottle of port. But now it’s February, and somehow everything seems brighter, even though its actually colder now than it was a couple of weeks ago. I guess its global warming to blame for such a mild winter.
There are lots of things to blog about. I seem to have booked lots of tickets, so expect reviews of many Royal Shakespeare Company productions, the LSO next weekend, Laurie Anderson in May and just possibly Richie Haven in a couple of weeks time. Daily revelations of the surveillance society on the rise, and political corruption, give plenty to get annoyed about (though Guido Fawkes does the latter so much better than I could, even if he is a libertarian). My stock portfolio doesn’t bear thinking about, though I need to do another pension investment soon.
I found a new word the other day – telapathy – the sense of ennui that comes from watching too many episodes of a television series in one sitting. That describes it beautifully. Time to kick self in the posterior and come out of hibernation, I think.

Welcome Back
Delighted to hear you’re coming out of hibernation. I’ve missed reading about your activities. And what a great menu of cultural events! From LSO to Ritchie Havens – shades of Woodstock! And Shakespeare in between – sounds just great. Our annual Classical Sparks was last night – I didn’t go, but did walk as far as the river at 10.30 p.m. to see the spectacular fireworks.
