  • Good grief. They’re making artificial snow for the Christmas light switch-on. #
  • Planning phrase of the day: ceramic granite. I’m sure that features in the Rocky Horror Show. #

Damn you, 1-click!

AKA some of the last things I bought on Amazon

http://ws.amazon.co.uk/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=GB&ID=V20070822%2FGB%2Fnileshomepag%2F8010%2F9134fd01-57d4-424b-8c12-f75cdd687987&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate

ย 

Amazon.co.uk WidgetsBy no means all of them. ย Just the ones that are available in the carousel widget and not bought second hand or through third party sellers. ย And I certainly can’t claim to have read them all. ย I tend to get through the trashy paperbacks an awful lot quicker than the serious tomes.

ย 

Click them! Buy them yourself! ย This damn blog doesn’t pay its own hosting fees, you know!
