A lazy post

This week I have:

added a link to a blog by Nathalie D’Arbeloff who won the Mary Stott prize awarded by the Guardian. She asks where the older women geeks are so I felt that it was only fair to put in her link. She’s an artist and writes about stuff a bit like me – rather random or if you prefer, far ranging but with lots more pictures, obviously. She says she’s a geek as well – I leave the tech to others but am fortunate in my contacts.

saw the 39 Steps at the Oxford Playhouse which is completely terrific and funny and I recommend if it comes to a town near you.

thought about the wonderful Mary Stott whose prize Nathalie D’Arbeloff won and the story that I’ll post about her another day.

joined Facebook finally (now it’s not as fashionable as once it was) and agreed that just as I don’t drink in the same pub as my sons (unless we’re all together) neither will I touch their pages.

been shocked to discover that Jacques Brel, who is one of my very, very favourite singers is also a favourite of Alastair Campbell, one of my very unfavourite political people.

met old friends for lunch by arrangement and one by serendipitous chance and been pretty glad that not all communications are digital.

Not written on anything properly.

    Don’t know your name but hello and thanks very much for linking. Glad to know you’re a fan of jacques Brel (me too, very much so) and not of Alistair Campbell.
    Have you seen some of the wonderful videos on YouTube of Brel in full flow? If not, just type his name in the YouTube search box and prepare to be mesmerised for some time.

    Thanks so much – and very pleased to know about the You Tube so I’ll certainly check them out. I’m Jenny Darnley – details in the “about ” section. Congratulations on the award. I was really pleased to hear about it and to find your blog. I met Mary Stott in the early 80s and she was wonderful – now I think I should get the story up but I’m a sporadic poster! And I too think older women can really use the net well so it was great to find you too. Best
