... bought a breakbeat cd today for 50p in a closing down sale... when I put it in the PC it has Quake 2 and Unreal on it... no music o_O

... I want my hour back...

Making balu shahi :)

Some odd indian sweets, hope they are good!

... made lemon pickle, now what? Some barfi perhaps?

... rather groggy after the Slovenian party, the taxi home was a good plan... work seems practically impossible...

... Weekend at last! Three cheers for the weekend! Hip hip! We love you weekend...

Spot the cat...

He knows he isnt allowed up there! Tsk.

... full of lunch, off for a walk in the cold winds of Lancaster...

... feeling confused by Jason Rohrer's 'Between'...

Lunch is a spicy malay curry with rice

Emergency lunch, nothing else handy :(

Rosti with jerk, cheese and jalapenos

Guess the plant?

Growing happily in our bathroom

Helpful cat

... eating saffron-spiced cream and leek pasta with roasted butternut squash for lunch...

... grey skies... grey mood...

... Full of mock bacon and avacado pancakes, heading for the garden...

... about to hit the garden for a bit of action... yes, gardening action...

... cranking up the drum and bass electronic dubstep and readying the first chilled beer...

... waiting for the weekend...

... eating Pad Thai for lunch - sooo good...

Maceration in progress

It is called german lemonade (best translation) :)

... Spring at last! Friday at last! Sunshine again! Yes, yes, yes!

... deeply suspicious - the office, after a brief tea break, now smells horribly of cat poo... I have searched everywhere, but no sign... :(

... working my way through a suspiciously long list of annoying to-dos...

... Back in lancaster...

... On train back to lancaster... I wonder if i will make last orders...

... prepares to enter a meeting...

Lunch in the office :)

Only joking...

Train to east croydon

Amazingly sunny day

... Just spent an unpleasant hour on rammed, delayed tubes :( oh, london i love you...

... Goodnight world...

... Why oh why do my trains always smell like poo?

... beginning the pre-London dither: wandering around the house in an endless loop, looking for missing 'stuff' I need to take...

... gah! restless after a day of peering at spreadsheets and sql tables... the idea of a pint and a game of pool occurs...

Apple pie and tea it is then

Would prefer a brandy and cigar, but this will do for now

... some apple pie should help...

... deep breath people: it's Monday, but it only lasts for a few hours...

... wondering if going out tonight would be a good plan or not?

... gardening: done. Now to eat crisps, hummus, olives, stinking bishop and drink some wine, I reckon. Ah, Sundays.

Gardening day

Clearing out old plants, cutting back stuff.

... looking lovely out... the monster in the garden will die this day... where is my machete?

managed to start the car but now it's making an odd, rhythmic tapping sound, which worries me. Next check in the manual is '3 spanners' o_O

... gearing up for the weekend... beers are in the fridge, curry is on the stove, procrastination is in the air...

... egg-fried rice with soy and chilli sauce for lunch... seems somehow... insubstantial...

oh irony: we neglect our little car, so the wife spends yesterday evening cleaning and vacuuming it... this morning it won't start... *sigh*

... been out in the sun, spring is in the air, sandals are on the feet, skirts are rising... Actually got the back door and windows open!

Susan's pie for lunch

Good stuff

Attention-seeking cat

The fluffy, chubby one

... a day surrounded by email addresses ... choking on @s

... having one of those mornings where nothing works as it should, and is slower than normal (whilst it doesn't work) too...

... getting very hungry... think it might be time to re-heat the Malaysian curry...

... nice big, fat lasagne for lunch today...

Coffee and home-made honey cake

Should get me going

... full of breakfast, full of the joys of life

Misery in lancaster

I hate shopping in the rain :(

...breakfast of patate rissolée, fried egg, sausage and sautéed spinach and garlic went down well, now for the wide world...

just threw an old apple at a large tom cat. It looked quite alarmed. No, no guilt - coming in our house to attack our cats = a world of pain

... preparing to drink lots of lovely beer at the Lancaster Beer Festival in about 3 hours...

Lancaster market view, as i digest double egg and chips :)

And good it was too

... good morning world, it's friday again, hurrah!

Just saw (alive) spray-painted fluorescent alpine plants for sale in B&Q. They were described as 'eye catching'. Cue much sad head-shaking.

Risotto on toast for lunch!

Odd, but good!

Starting second pot of coffee this morning

Soon, i will fly...

Lunch is poor today - a cheese and onion pie ...

... more Lancaster snow... cold and grey in the house... my stomach rumbles - one bit of toast seems a long way away now...

Snow in lancaster :)

Great!

... listening to 'video game boss music' - LP3's Ratatat...

Syrian stew for lunch

With a kind of mujadarah on the side

late last night, after beers, trying to be quiet, I open and somehow drop a full bottle of mouthwash behind the shelves... glug, glug... :(

What? You want this bag?

Left over curry for lunch :)

But what are they...?

Walking near malham cove, yorkshire dales

Grey but beautiful :)

... back from the dales, relaxing by the fire, feeling like a party...
