That Vodkabird has started a new ‘series’ which I think I’m gonna enjoy. Titled “They pop up everywhere! Who the bloody hell are they?” it will feature those actors you see in a lot of movies but can never remember their names. This is a frequent late night, pub conversation for me, including the rise of this type of actor to more prominent castings, Philip Seymour Hoffman being a prime example.

Of course the whole premise of a ‘series’ could be done to a lack of anything else to say but I’m holding out for some more goodies. No pressure.

Heartwarming

Friday Karma

Regular readers will know that on Friday we have cakes at work. This Friday I have a meeting at 10:30 so I decided I would go and get them (we work on a volunteer basis). Now bear in mind that for the last 4 days, we have had glorious sunshine, and it’s been lovely walking around the city with the sun and the breeze from the Clyde wafting round the buildings.

Of course, as I had decided to go and get the cakes it rained.

I suppose it’s karmic retribution for my posting on Wednesday: “Apologies for those in the south of England, I gather it’s raining every so slightly down there… shame… “

(Ohh I’d have linked to the post but the archives are screwed again, and hey, it’s only a quick scroll down the page)

This post was drafted whilst walking along Argyll Street. Does anyone else compose posts in their head when they are not at a keyboard?

Off she sails …

Safe journey little.red.boat, may the seas be calmed on your approach and the tail wind be your friend.
