Show me the way to armadillo!

Blogspotters!

Busy few days cher Mark. I went to the huge free-for-all some men know as Longford Island Bank Holiday Car Boot sale on Monday....

I certainly got the exercise but I think people would have bought the oxygen cylinder from my back if they could!

Everything was for sale from Viagra to Vinegar. The thing is so large (ooer) that you see something, hunt around to find it cheaper and you can't find the original 'stall'.

It also the only time Cannock sees such an ethnic mix.

There were Armenians selling cigarettes and Muslim women with just their eyes showing....Very confusing for some of the stallholders, who obvously thought they were just men in long dresses for the purpose of shoplifting!

I bought some great CDs (Killers), average CDs (Kaiser Chiefs) and the obligatory dodgy one (Moby - oh please just make another 'Play' or 'Animal Rights')

Car boot sales are good for me because I can have the exercise and there are planty of places to stop and look at things and coffee stands if need be.

They are also on fields so I am not embarassed to spit onto the ground if I need to either - something I can't do in the middle of Woolworths.

They put a bit of my MP3 diary on BBC Radio WM yesterday at 9.50am (a day later than expected but never mind!)

Mr M came round late morning with the MP3 recorder/player which was cool, because we had a good chin-wag.

I was impressed they used Erasure's Breath as background music. The BBC are much better than the other channels for this kind of thing though.

I hope they will use some more of the diary in coming days...It is in the lap of the Gods (or Mr Goldberg anyway!)

I hit Lichfield yesterday and tried to make a 'cool' MP3 recording from a cafe....But there was too much noise. I did go to Tudor Tunes and found out Tony Christie (currently at number 1 in the charts here in the UK) is actually from Hammerwich (just round the corner!)

I also heard a women ask for "The Way To Armadillo" - lol.....soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside......

Got a long letter from the docs today about my November 'MOT' with lots of long words in there that I must now go and look up on Google!

Tally Ho!

MARK
