seventy-one

The person sitting next to me on the train this morning smelt exactly like him; the drawback of perfumes. God, it made my head spin.

Things that are good:
  • I watched a man hoovering the road outside my office. Why? How? No one knows.
  • I saw a man standing on a station platform holding one of those spools of wire that look like huge cotton reels. It made him look like he was actually really tiny, a Borrower, and this pleased me.
  • I went to a farmers' market yesterday and bought lots of english apples and plums. Even better, my boss has a plum tree and is bringing me in bagfuls of surplus plums. I am going to make a crumble tonight, I think.
  • I made the tastiest butternut squash and sage soup; I love autumn food. For anyone interested, the recipe is here.
  • I'm suddenly responsible for updating the news section of UK Feminista. It is a good responsibility but I'm worried I'm going to post up something controversial or wrong. Eep.

I am stuck in a music rut. I keep listening the the music I love most, and whilst I am definitely not bored of it, it would be nice to love something new. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Suggestions are on their way!
    And the Borrowers, I'd forgotten about them. How incredible is it that Draco Malfoy is that little red-headed boy?
    I wish people in Austria made crumble.

    I have been listening to Francis & the Lights a lot lately, I think they're pretty ace. They're quite pop-y, but maybe you will like them?

    i have spent all this rainy morning in reykjavik listening to Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age. there is some real loveliness there - soft though and short and unassuming and often unfinished-feeling.

    also the new deerhunter album - Halcyon Digest - and their ep rainwater cassette exchange.

    i have some mixtapes here also - if you are interested: http://everythingisrightnow.blogspot.com/search/label/mixtapes

    good luck un-rutting yourself <3

    Hmm. I never get tired of Bjork and Joanna Newsom. Above all else.
