Noise, noise and more noise

Friday 22 February 2008 by Simon Aughton

Inexplicable excavations have closed the square in front of our apartment. In the evening and at weekends the absence of traffic noise is a delight, but during the day it’s bang, crash, drill and this morning they started sawing the tarmac to dig a new hole. It’s like living in a very noisy and very dusty Louis Sachar novel.

Too much water

by Simon Aughton

A great piece on water fadism by Dominic Lawson, brother of “domestic goddess” Nigella. The whole article is well worth reading, but this is my favourite bit:

“She is a self-confessed ‘aquaholic’, drinking up to three litres of water before retiring for the night. Ever since she admitted the fact, ‘alternative’ health writers have claimed that her bladder-testing nightcap is the secret of her lustrous complexion – a typically far-fetched claim by the advocates of ‘8x8’. Nigella is much too sensible to believe this nonsense, attributing her skin-tone instead to a mixture of genetic good fortune and a high dietary fat intake.”

The Independent / Dominic Lawson: Bottled or tap, we drink far too much water
