I just googled Patrick Grant - I'm hooked on the Great British Sewing Bee, so I wanted to know a bit more about him. He's Scottish, went to boarding school and Oxford University, trained as an engineer and once worked as a nanny. He looks great in everything he wears cycling gear and has a girlfriend named Katie Hillier. I admit I did spend a few minutes drooling over looking at his images too. (I'm so shallow.)
I googled the music on the trailer for The Living and The Dead. It's by The Insects if anyone is interested.
I also googled the mascara that dyes eyelashes from the other thread and, daftly, I googled my own name. I found a document I was involved in producing for a new IT system about 20 years ago. The system was superceded by something else ages ago. Just shows nothing dies on the internet, just hangs around for ever.
Re my, much, earlier post. I have been successful in using Google to find the article that made me dislike Sarah Vine. It was in the Mail and was about Serena Cowdy. Very vitriolic.
Eyelash and eyebrow dye mentioned in a another thread as I no longer have eyebrows and only sparse lashes. Also a le creuset non stick shallow casserole as I do a lot of cooking (or so it seems sometimes).
I Googled Wales Football Team Euros last night as I thought theyd already played their quarters and wanted their result. But they play on Friday evening. YAY !
Last person I googled was General Charles deGaulle, to see why he didn't want Britain to join the EEC. The last thing I googled was cheap yarn. I found some lovely acrylic yarn for ยฃ1.19 per 100g ball to make a baby blanket for a good friend of my DD who is expecting a little boy in August.
I Google Map and Streetview the settings of the books I am reading. I did it with the Japanese overpass where Marakami's '1Q84' takes place and with Cormack McCarthy's dismal Texas/Mexico trilogy and I am renewing my childhood acquainanceship with Brighton and Hove for Peter James' 'Roy Grace' detective series. It really adds another dimension and you see how wonderfully accurate many authors are in rendering place in print.
Stephen Crabb MP - when he announced his bid for PM I saw a facebook post regarding his alledged views that homosexuality is a sickness which can be cured !!! I was incredulous so googled him and it does appear that he is not gay-friendly. A NO to him then. An insult to my various and lovely gay friends.
Well thank you Swanny for bringing me up to date about Boris. I was able to say, casually, to my husband "Did you know Boris has stood down". He didn't know and, to be honest, didn't believe me till I checked on the BBC web site. Great to be the bringer of news to my, (whisper it) know all husband!!
