Shiny new toy
After the ‘all work and no play’ nature of the last month, I decided to treat myself to an 8 gig iPod nano. Bloomin’ lovely it is too. I actually bought it from John Lewis rather than Apple, having stumbled across Hot UK Deals’s voucher and discount codes page (yes, I know it sounds like the sort of site which is one notch up from Viagra on the spam-o-meter, but it is worth bookmarking), which got me £15 off my purchase over £75 thanks to a Telegraph promotion.
Naturally half of my weekend was taken up with deciding what to put on the nano; initially I planned only to put on things I’d listened to in the last year, but I kept uncovering CDs I’d completely forgotten about or just not bothered listening to for a few years (e.g. Lou Reed - Transformer, My Bloody Valentine - Isn’t Anything). Now a stroll to the shops is an exciting voyage of rediscovery and reunions.
I am already starting to wonder whether putting My Way - The Best of Frank Sinatra on there was a mistake though, as I keep finding myself singing along without realising. OK at home, but walking down Regent’s Street yesterday I must have sounded like some sort of deranged care in the community karaoke crooner.
