So... what have I done in the last few days?
Nothing, is the easiest way of putting it!
Went to the pub with Kate and Hania (look Hania, your name on my blog!). It was quite nice and relaxed. On the way back we had a funny thing happen. Whilst walking around the "14 Corners" on our way back from the pub I saw what I thought to be some old plastic bags and rubbish lying in a corner. In the light it look just like a person lying there. "Oooh, look," I said as I got closer, "it looks like a... [I notice that it is actually a real person] person lying there". 'Shit!' I thought as I walked away whilst trying to not laugh too hard! I had to check with Kate that it was actaully a person, and she agreed. Hania didn't notice it though. Odd.
Today I've not done much of note at all. Quite sad really. Seem to be wasting the summer away, again.
Whilst looking for a site to tell you all about the fourteen Corners, I found this about Skircoat Green, which has a photo of the pub I went to on it. Exciting, eh? There doesn't actually seem to be anything about the corners on the Internet. How sad.
I wonder how many people may stumble across this site after looking for them?
Oh yeah, and it's too hot and humid around here. Grrrr.
Did you check that the person was OK?
It's far too humid here in Nottingham as well. It's also been raining most of the day, at some points very hard.

Wouldn't have really wanted to wake him to check that he wasn't dying!
Yeah it's definately been raining here in Nottingham... even inside at some points this morning :-( Soggy wallpaper... nice...
Posted by: Ant on August 10, 2004 2:44 PMWalking around the East Village in New York City a few years ago, my sister and I saw what appeared to be prosthetic legs sticking out of someone's trash. These legs had socks and shoes on them and were sticking practically straight out. Convinced that someone had dressed up the fake legs, my sister pointed as we went by and proclaimed "that is the funniest thing I've *ever* seen". And, yes you guessed it, those legs weren't fake. It was a homeless person. We felt pretty badly about that, though had to laugh in that awful nervous way that you do when you say something so terribly wrong.
Posted by: seadragon on August 15, 2004 8:57 PMhi i've had the same trouble with 14 corners (well more like 3 1/2 corners now)
well i named my band after them cos they always has some mystical quality to them and remind me of being really young.
Anyway have a look and a listen and see if i do them justice.
