hi. here's my list of complaints. all of these things have been irritating me lately. allow me to get them all off my chest. thanks!

- overpriced lukewarm coffee served in big mugs. is it just a ploy so we order another one within about 3 minutes? balls to that!
- the disgusting weather right now (and over the last week). might as well go out dressed as a scuba diver.
- my inability to really (and i mean really) clean the flat beyond the surface. i'm hopeless.
- waiting, waiting, waiting. - see photo below



- 6 mixed peppers at £1.69 - i can't get through 6 peppers on my own by the time they go leathery and they're about 70p for just one, so is it possible to freeze them??
- little flies. i've no idea where they're coming from. they end up in my green tea, floating like bloated little........ greedy.......flies.
- missing socks. no explanation needed really.
- the bedding coming loose by the time it gets to morning for no apparent reason.
- suddenly feeling sleepy, especially after a few drinks or a big meal. i think this is a winter thing with me.
- dribbling on the sofa (see above). often during the channel 4 news for some reason.
- getting tense when playing the guitar. i think it's just coz i'm playing with the band again and it's been a while. incidently, new drummer chris is really great! oh, there's a positive in a sea of negatives.
- the weather (it's so horrible lately) so deserves a double mention.
- always forgetting to buy milk.
- not being able to have that essential first cup of tea (see above). i honestly need about 2 or 4 cups before i function in the morning.
- interactive tv quiz shows hosted by presenters with all the charm of a yellow toenail. what is going on!? ban them all. excruciating. evil.
- acid indigestion. ouch :(
- feeling obliged to buy greeting cards. everyone should just stop buying cards. unless they're the david shrigley ones (it's one of his i photographed above)

okay, i feel a bit better now. i've attached photos from the gig a couple of weeks ago. it was a good gig and i'm really looking forward to the ones coming up, all with the band. if you're in glasgow come along. ah, i feel a bit better now. i'll blog again soon:)
