I just discovered, I can't write much from this phone. Can't upload photos, neither. Probably just as well, really. Singapore, here I come!

I can now write blog entries from my mobile. THIS is just what the world's been crying out for…

Last night Mr Wombat and I went to Camden's famous Jazz Cafe to see a gig by Medeski, Martin & Wood. Contrary to the sound of it, they are not a firm of solicitors who moonlight as jazz muso's. It was the first time I'd been to the Jazz Cafe, and I guess I was…

…seem to be “bugger all”. Or at least that's what my chances of getting a ticket to this are, it seems. Mind you I only just found out it was on, so I don't suppose that's cause for being *too* upset.

Proper water pressure, nice hot water, no bizarre tap balancing ritual, and a solid screen which meant not having…

I appear to have soy sauce on my mouse ball. … (this sentence reminds me of a voice recorder note I made on my phone at some stage and only discovered recently – at the time I must have found it important to remind myself that “I appear to have mayonnaise in my nostrils”)
