The Sopranos

Being a huge fan of mob movies, I'm still not clear how telly series The Sopranos passed me by, but it did. Anyway, that's being rectified as my lovely man bought by the whole of Series 1 for Christmas.

It's fantastic, as good as expected, and Series 2 is being ordered online as I type this. Well, after I type this, but you know what I mean.

I'm also a huge fan of Alabama 3 and one of their London gigs I went to at Brixton Academy many years ago, remains up there in my top 5 London gigs, ever. It seems they had to change their name to A3 in the States, I'm still not sure why. Anyway, watch them sing on YouTube.

I LOVE 'The Sopranos'.
I have all 7 seasons of it.
If you go to the Vanity Fair website, in the archives there is a great feature on the making of/the writing of it, how it came about, how it evolved.
James Gandolfini ties with Robbie Coltrane for sexiest man alive.
I am rather in love with Edie Falco too.

There's a condensed version of The Sopranos out there. It's got all the swearing and nothing else:

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

Researching for my novel Pearl of Pit Lane I spent the day at Beamish Museum on a clippy mat workshop. And if you're wondering what a clippy mat is, it's also known as a proggy mat or a rag rug. The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
