Woke up this morning to the radio...

and the news about Michael Jackson.

I can never work out what happens with this stuff. Felt weird when Elvis died, couldn't believe it when Lennon was murdered, or when Diana hit the kerb, though I wasn't a fan of any of them really. This feels weird too. I was so small watching the Jackson 5, even the cartoon show...I remember this kid strutting around singing ABC...easy as 1,2,3... all smiles and twinkling eyes. There was something macabre about watching his later progress in plastic. But I still feel all soft and weeny when I hear One day in your life.

Does anyone know where I can buy an interesting, effective and not too expensive coffee grinder?

I personally like manual ones and bought one from John Lewis the day before yesterday. It broke. I'll take it back today, and see if I can get a refund - the damn thing looked pretty boring anyway. And the electric ones seem so dull!

We had a cute one with windmills all over it. Haven't been able to find that since the move, so any ideas welcome!
