Frizz as a graph… very pretty. It’s created using this. Sashinka seems to have some idea what it means.

Maybe if we don’t tell lies about the past, we won’t tell lies about the present.

Ken Loach on his new film The Wind that Shakes the Barley, which won at Cannes and is released in the UK next week. Interesting interview on Newsnight - you can watch it here until tomorrow (the segment starts about 35 minutes in).

I’ve just signed Big R up to eBay so we can start selling some of her stuff - now that I’ve got the camera and can take decent photos. This is ’stuff’ I usually describe as antiques posing as junk or the other way round I can’t remember which, either way there is too much of it and it needs to go - so please go buy some junk antiques on eBay.

This family are keeping clean, hanging out outside one of the archives I work at. The baby’s are so cute and the whole family seems completely at ease with all the strange people coming and going.

It was the anniversary of my father’s death today. I spent the day feeling very unsettled, but at least I knew why. On my way home from town, I took a detour at Vauxhall, walked over to the bridge and spent a few moments by the Thames, missing my Dad.

After a little pleading, I got an appointment with the Ortho. I now have a new piece of metal to show off. He banded my crown and attached the bracket to the band, literally a piece of metal surrounding my tooth. [N, more metal - a new circuit!] It was a little painful, but mostly because my gum was sore from having the loose bracket rubbing against it, now it’s fine. According to the Ortho the bracket came off, because at some point the force from the archwire would have been more than the force attaching the bracket to the tooth, which seems like I should have felt something, but I didn’t.

I don’t wanna go on the tube…

Anna bought me a top for my birthday, I only got it yesterday, what with the Chickenpox scare and various other cancellations. I loved it, but it was a bit big, so I tried to swap it for a smaller size, only they didn’t do it in the smaller size. I could only exchange it, so I had to walk around the shop looking for something else. I came away with a skirt, a top and a bag… Oops.

Hey, I don’t know where the week went. I haven’t done that much and maybe that’s why I haven’t posted. Had my period with awful pain in just about every form there is… not fun.

Sitting in the garden, eating mango the way Ofer in Israel taught me how.

Cycling in the park, I got a little sunburnt… everyone out cycling, kids paddling, dogs barking, swans hissing… people eating and enjoying the blue sky and hot sun.

Taking lots of photo’s, loving the camera.

I have a loose bracket… on my crown, right at the back… not sure how they fix that. I think I get one bracket replaced for free, after that they charge, is a loose bracket, a broken bracket?

Big Love kinda creepy - in not a good way.

It’s been a car day. I drive around in a third hand me down, which has almost reached that point of no return. As a result of the anti-freeze let loose in the passenger seat, it failed it’s MOT with a rusted whole in the floor (scary what that stuff can do)… but all sorted now. I was hoping that I would have managed to find a new car before having to do all this (MOT, tax, insurance), but somehow the idea of looking for a car just doesn’t do anything for me. I tried not having one at all for about four years; it was incredibly stressful and exhausting. It was before I had the bike, so it was public transport or nothing and I’d spend four hours a day traveling and thanks to a very unreliable bus, never know if I’d make anything on time. I need a reliable, cheap, dog friendly, environmentally friendly as possible car - any suggestions?
