Eurovision 2016

Village of the Damned
Creepy, scary, unnerving kids often feature in horror films. It’s very effective. You don’t expect your bundle of joy to turn into Damien from The Omen. Nor would you want to see a dripping wet, undead girl, unexpectedly climbing out of the TV set, whilst … Continue reading Village of the Damned

(For some reason my blog currently isn't loading all images I post and you may get a white oblong box thing instead. I'm hoping this glitch will sort itself out. On with the post.) On recent forays into YouTube territory I noticed the gazillion cover … Continue reading Adventures in Audacity
Utopian Update
Cedar Terrace has been standing unattended on the coffee table in the lounge for a few weeks now. I sort of fixed the kitchen lino, which had presented a health hazard (see comments section on this post) by dispensing with the useless Pritt stick and … Continue reading Utopian Update
Spring is in the Air
