Don't download this song

Weird Al has just released a preview track from his forthcoming album, Straight Outta Lynwood. It's on his MySpace site, along with another track which I believe won't make the album - You're Pitiful - which I now hear in my head whenever James Blunt is played at me.

Sparrowhawk

Today, a hawk took down a starling in the garden. I was glad it wasn't one of the more interesting / rarer birds!

Friday night

Playing with Lego NXT. Writing programmes with little icons on the iMac; downloading them via Bluetooth; driving motors, playing with sensors, trying to figure out these complicated new Lego parts... It's rather fun.

Albarino



The trendy wine of the moment! For once I am up to date with the in-crowd :) Not the cheapest - you need to go to Waitrose, or other posh shops apparently. But it's unusual and good. Waitrose now has a wine chiller thingy near the dessert wines, so I was able to chill this bottle rapidly (4 minutes) before taking it home.

is one heck of a lot of wires.

Nonetheless, I'm chuffed - new dev kit to play with (from Ember), and plenty of different shades of red to admire.

Hens

I was in London yesterday for Claire's hen night - a super time was had by all, between the fondant fancies, garlic bread, Mamma Mia, and lovely cocktails...

We didn't half feel underdressed compared to the hens on stage at the show, though!
