Afternoon, all. Not much to report here. Still making some websites and print-y things. The shop is still going strong, and we’ve got St Valentines’ day coming up soon, as well as a wedding fair this weekend. There’s a few good pictures of our Valentines’ day window on the shop site – it’s three bits of painted mdf, which still haven’t fallen out of the ceiling, even though I was the one that installed the rails they hang off.
This year the shop’s not doing any red roses at all for Valentine’s day – not just because they’re naff, but because most red roses are forced to be ready by the 14th, and everybody wants them, so the price goes through the roof. It’ll be interesting to see how the menfolk of Poynton and surrounding areas react to our principled stand.
I missed the ‘best of 2006’ music lists by a long way, so I’ll just add one record I’ve discovered this year –Tim Steward’s solo album, How does it end?. Tim is probably unknown to you as the lead singer of the highly-rocking Brisbane band Screamfeeder, but has come up with a relaxed Sunday afternoon record that keeps growing on me. Head over to his site and try track one, two and seven to start.
