No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. Look away now if you don't want to hear the scores, for it's another end-of-month Dolmio (Doings Of Last Month Innoparticular Order) round up.

That is to say, an attempt to capture past(a) events before they slip... my... mind. June 2006 was spent:

• listening to the incredible story of Robert Evans (Rosemary's Baby, The Godfather, Chinatown, etc) in The Kid Stays in the Picture
• reading, book the first: the adventures of Thursday Next, volume 2, in Jasper Fforde's Lost In A Good Book
• reading, book the second: Nick Hornby's two short stories in the special Penguin edition of Otherwise Pandemonium
• watching far too much footy all the way through from day 1 to day 31
• losing my temper with The Boy for not wanting to do any more karate lessons
• switching to Finish Quantum to bring the dishwasher back to life
• knocking up a homepage for Oxfam at Woodbridge
• listening to Neil Hannon's latest Divine Comedy outing, the lovely Victory for the Comic Muse
• watching the season finale of House: I think he'll make it
• being impressed by what the kids can do with my iSight camera and iMovie
• getting soaked and soaking others in the in-laws waterfight

And that was June 2006.
