Today's greatest thing in the history of ever is...

Peanuts. As written by Charles Bukowski.

I am on a mini nostalgia trip for the music of my carefree teenage years*. I feel the need to buy Counting Crows. And possibly Dinosaur Jr.

Today June is coming to visit and we are going to the park for ducks and ice cream.

That is all. It is too sunny to write more and my feet are allergic to the computer right now.

*In fact, I think a large proportion were full of care, misery, woe and angst, but I am enjoying my nostalgia filter and the fact I didn't have to pay taxes...

Saturday 11th August

I am still considering whether to hold a party next Saturday for my 30-and-a-half-th birthday (cos my actual thirtieth was a low key affair, and I really wanted to celebrate out in the open air, which isn't much fun in February) I kind of went off the idea when it looked like August would be solid rain, but now it's behaving again I'm back to wanting a garden party / BBQ. (Yes, I know that the weather will be changeable next week, and posting this will cause it to rain. Quiet you.)

So, please tell me:

1. Would you come?
2. Would you prefer a garden party or a picnic in Roundhay Park? (I don't mind, I just want to be outside...)
3. If it rains, would you come along to some kind of alternative borthday celebration (probably in a local pub, the house isn't very well set up for parties right now...)

My house (and alternative venues) are just a short bus ride from town, will put address and details on a friends only post if it looks like people are interested...
