Well, May already and I’ve not had a great deal of time to write. It’s been a difficult week at work so I’ve been concentrating on that because, after all, it pays the bills.

Some events can’t go unmentioned, however. Firstly, can you believe it’s Big Brother time of year again? They’re already showing journalists around the house. The BBC are advertising for Fame Academy contestants and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has Ant and Dec watching over a jungle full of minor celebrities and their tantrums. When will television companies realise that this is overkill and it’s not interesting anymore?

Then there’s Madonna’s album and her appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. She was much more reserved than I imagined. Nothing loud or abrasive. Oh, and the album’s pretty good.

The best find of the week was an online version of BBC One’s Rush Hour promo.

A bit of frivolity to end the week – makes up for the stress I think!

On this day…
