Back...

..... with some excellent souvenirs. A big plastic giraffe. From a 20p bucket outside a fancy retro boutique.

A bucket-load of postcards, which have been haphazardly slapped up.

And some silly fridge magnets. The photos are terrible - I've just taken these, and you can tell the camera must be a bit tired from the overwork I put it through. Yes, there are more photos...for another time.

Anyhow, we're back from a lovely week away by the sea. A strange week - the horrible events in Norway were happening just before we set off, then Saturday late afternoon we started unpacking, set up the laptop and heard about Amy Winehouse. I think everything nice has been already said about her on other peoples' blogs this week, and as for the nasty stuff, the Daily Mail and the Sun et al, lets just ignore that. And try to get over how unreal it feels that she's gone. Perhaps predictably, but too soon anyway.
