Last night I dreamed I was in a motorway service station, having a cup of tea and a chat with Paul Harrison from the Beatles (that’s what he was called in the dream, but perhaps I really meant George McCartney). And I was the age I am now, but Paul was in his late twenties, dressed as though it was 1970. It was fun. I think I’ll make a habit…
Well the whole batch was rejected. That is, three were rejected for technical reasons, four because they didn’t think they’d sell, and the other three because you need 7 out of the first 10 accepted for them to bother with you.

I’ve been meaning to get around to signing up for stock photography for some time. This is where you upload your photos to a photo library, and you get paid a pittance every time somebody downloads one. Why am I interested in getting paid a pittance?

My friend Norma’s seen a huge jump in trafic to her site. On closer inspection this turns out to be because the songs on her new album include “The Cyber Cafe”, “Sex and Lies” and “Girls in Ammunition”. So presumably people go searching for “Cyber Sex Girls” and find her. She’s also had a lot of visitors leaving very quickly, presumably sadly disappointed when they realise the site belongs to…
