Last weekend we went to Southend to watch the airshow, but in the end it was raining so much we didn't actually go down the seafront to watch it! It was nice to go back to Essex and see Mum and Dad though, and John, though we see him a fair bit these days anyway (woo!). I also met up with an old school friend called Angela, which was fun! I was a bit nervous since I hadn't seen her for ten years or so but it went pretty well. I think it did, anyway...

I'm in a book! It's this book, I get thanked at the end. I was only doing my job but maybe I went a bit further with things than I needed to to fulfill my obligations, who knows? He was a nice man, it was fun looking at things for him. He sent me a copy of his book so I will have to read it!

Hum, what else... it was a lovely sunny day today so we did lots of gardening. We've made a bed at the bottom of the garden and planted runner beans up a wigwam, and I planted some sunflowers in a big pot. Also moved a lot of seedlings into trays divided into separate bits since they were just in normal seed trays growing together. There was a lot of slate and glass and brick coming out of the land at the bottom of the garden, bit of a rubbish dump. It's almost like doing archaeology in my own garden...

I am oddly excited by the new eBay companion for Firefox, it's brilliant! I'm testing it by bidding on a Dead Zone Series 4 box set. I can surf around and it's sitting there as a sidebar, monitoring how things are going. Cool! :D
