You may have noticed...

... that I haven't been bothered to update my blog in the last couple of weeks. The odd video is all I have been arsed to do. Nick's only just shown me how I can put vid's on here so it's the complete novelty factor and you can expect many more.

Seriously though, at the start of it I didn't have anything to tell you or much to say. Then we went and finally exchanged on the house (YAY YAY YAY) and since then I have been too exhausted and knackered to find the time. Lame excuse, but I'm not used to intense physical exercise plus I have a stinking cold which is not helping matters. It's either a cold or it's hayfever but I'm pretty sure I don't get hayfever and I have that kind of buzzy head ears feeling which only comes with a cold. So. Busy busy busy.

The two of us have been spending the last few days clearing the garden, which isn't huge but is hugely overgrown and we have made 8 trips so far to Southampton recycling centre with a minivan load of garden waste. That's a lot of waste! And a lot of snails and spiders too. We found two slow worms today (is that how you spell that? Looks wrong.) which I am very excited to have in my garden. I love slow worms.

Obviously we went to see Juliette Lewis and the New Romantiques last Tuesday which was just amazing, then we exchanged contracts on Wednesday. We haven't completed yet, just waiting for the money from the bank but we are allowed to do the garden. Just can't get inside the house so luckily the next door neighbour Lucy is letting me use her outside loo! And there is a tap so we have water, although it runs at a trickle.

My arms and face are covered in scratches, I have weird sunburn marks on my back and I feel hideously unnatractive in my dirty, dusty gardening clothes which is what I've been in to meet all of our new neughbours in. They keep popping round to offer us cups of tea, tours of their own houses, gardening sacks, stepladders, garden chairs and one guy even came around with his petrol mower to do our back lawn! How amazingly nice are they all!!??? I have never known anything like it. Hopefully bodes well.

Ah well I am finding it hard to type as my fingers are tired and besides, Britain's Got Talent is on later and I need to save my energy to shout at the telly. Night! x

Juliette Lewis gig at the Talking Heads

This woman is just AWESOME, her gig last night was superb. She was playing with her new band the Romantiques and the venue was really small and personal. At one point she came down into the crowd and came right by me, I held her microphone cable for her so it didn't get trodden on. How rock and roll am I??! Can't believe I got to brush up against a very sweaty A list Hollywood celeb in Portswood, Southampton of all random places. This vid is clearly rubbish as it was taken from Nick's new camera phone but you get the gist. More clips at www.youtube.com/nickwaite
